Cruising Fiji

PRICE RANGE: $350–$400 PP/PN
Captain Cook Discovery cruises  are designed to offer you an authentic and personal experience. The Yasawa Islands are situated off the north west coast of the main island and being volcanic in origin, they offer some of the most dramatic scenery in the South Pacific. With a new island and coral reef to visit every morning and afternoon, these cruises have a great emphasis on beach and water activities. The 3-night cruise features the southern islands including Waya and Sacred Islands. The 4-night cruise explores the remote northern islands from Naviti to Yasawa including the famous Sawa-i-lau aquamarine limestone lagoon features in the 1980 movie ‘Blue Lagoon’. Combine both cruises for a total 7-Night Yasawa Island cultural and island experience.
