8 Day / 7 Night Cruise
So much to see and do so much on this cruise, the memories will last a lifetime! You'll see mother nature at her best, be welcomed into the friendliest culture in the world, discover an underwater world and swim in Fiji's famous crystal-clear waters.
This cruise is based on the itinerary detailed below but to ensure you have the best possible cruise experience, we use 'flexible cruising'. What this means is that we're prepared to alter our itineraries, either when necessary, or when some exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking part in a local Yasawa Village, which you really should see, then we will alter our cruise route to take you there. Or, if we think that that our destined anchorage for the night is not going to be as sheltered as a bay on the other side of the island, we'll up-anchor and move. Cruising through a region of coral lagoons and isolated island anchorages is weather dependent and so, at times, our itineraries may need to be altered. However we'll always endeavor to ensure all of the highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.
