Small Ship Cruising Around Fiji
If your ideal Fiji holiday includes unpacking once, not having to cook or clean, then cruising is for you. Small ship cruising allows you to go visit out of the way places that larger ships cannot access and often you are the only ones on the patch of beach or stretch of reef.
Whether you’re planning an extended Fiji family holiday, a honeymoon or a friend’s getaway, cruising has something for everyone.
Captain Cook Cruises
Captain Cook Cruises explore the islands of Mamanuca and Yasawa. RV Reef Endeavour sleeps 130 passengers, spread over four levels of accommodation catering for couples, solos and families. Once onboard you will experience all things Fijian, starting with fresh, local produce as you enjoy your included meals in the main dining room.
Your days are filled with water activities such as diving, snorkelling, and swimming as well as island tours to local villages and schools, local entertainment, gym, spa, swimming pool and Kids Club. Or perhaps you’d prefer to fill your days by grabbing a cocktail, pulling up a deck chair and watching the world go by.
Captain Cook Cruises run 3, 4 and 7 night itineraries weekly or if you’re looking for something that goes further afield, set sail to the islands of Taveuni, Vanna Levu, Lau and Kadavu, where you can immerse yourself in Fijian culture, history and natural beauty. A highlight of the 7 night cruise is the stop at Sacred Islands – believed to be the birthplace of Fijian Culture. Here the crew will perform the Sevusevu (Gift Giving) Ceremony before you spend the morning swimming or snorkelling in the beautiful blue waters. For those who don’t want to get wet you can still explore the reef by Glass Bottom Boat.
We know that no matter which option you choose, you will come away feeling refreshed and relaxed after you have been onboard RV Reef Endeavour.
Blue Lagoon Cruises
Blue Lagoon Cruises offers adults only cruising with a maximum of 68 passengers. The Fijian crew will make you feel at home from the very beginning as you are serenaded on board. Whilst your days are filled with exploring the local islands, sunning yourself on the beach or getting amongst the fish and Manta Rays as you snorkel one of the many reefs, your nights are spent enjoying sunsets, entertainment or even board games in the lounge. MV Fiji Princess sails 3-, 4- & 7-night cruises weekly from Port Denarau.
What will your highlight be on the 7 night Escape to Paradise Cruise?
The crew and fellow passengers will become family which can make for tough goodbyes but as they say, it’s not goodbye, it’s see you again (with many passengers cruising year after year).
