Couple and Captain Cook Cruise, Fiji

Your Guide to a Fiji Cruise in the South Pacific

Fiji is one of the most beautiful locations in the South Pacific. Made up of 332 captivating islands, Fiji offers decadent scenery with sandy beaches, translucent waters, multi-coloured coral reefs, fruit and coconut plantations, volcanic mountains, and over 100 uninhabited islands – all waiting to be explored. As most of the island’s attractions are separated by water, Fiji is the perfect destination to be explored on a cruise where you can discover the best of both worlds with both land and water based activities. Hop off onto warm sand to suntan on a completely private island, explore the museums and attractions of the larger Fijian islands, and swim and snorkel with sharks and manta rays. Get to the heart of the South Pacific on a Fiji cruise. With a tropical year-round climate, it’s an idyllic cruise destination in any season.
