THE MV REEF ENDEAVOUR WILL BE OPERATING SOME 7 NIGHTS CRUISES TO THE LAU AND FIJI’S REMOTE NORTH OVER THE MONTHS OF FEBRUARY, MARCH AND APRIL. THERE WILL ALSO BE A HERITAGE CRUISE.

The success of the Captain Cook Cruises Fiji MV Reef Endeavour, three/four nights Yasawa Islands Cruises in December has led them to reintroduce more cruise packages.

Jackie Charlton, manager for Captain Cook Cruises says: “We had such a great response to our cruises over Christmas with requests for a cruise, tailored to Fijians, visiting our more remote destinations.

“We saw it as a great opportunity to keep our crew employed at this difficult time and offer some really incredible, bucket list experiences to locals.”

Customers will be cruising aboard MV Reef Endeavour, a 130 passenger small ship complete with freshwater pool, dive shop and glass bottom boat.

“The Lau Cruise will most likely include, Wailagilala, Qilaqila, Oneata, Fulaga Island, Vuaqava, Kabara Island, Totoya Island.

“The itinerary and dates of departure for the Lau trip will be announced soon.
