Police have charged a cruise tour bus driver in Vanuatu after a fatal crash which killed three people and left 10 Australians seriously injured.
The tour bus was carrying passengers from the P&O ship Pacific Dawn.
Carnival Australia executive chairman Ann Sherry said the cruise line will not use the tour operator again until the accident investigation was completed.
"It’s been a terrible incident, obviously, and we have done everything we can to support and ensure that families receive the care they need," Sherry said.
The bus was involved in a head-on collision with a local commuter bus.
Two of the most seriously injured cruise passengers, including an 11-year old boy were airlifted to Brisbane for treatment.
All three killed were travelling in the local bus which included the driver.
