least two

nights of dancing and our premier final night event

Hits of the 60’s and 70’s!

Every crew member on our exclusive cruise sings and plays guitar or ukulele and when you add them to the talent we are bringing from NZ, it equates to a feast of song.

Special musical events at the church and school where the locals thrill us with their robust passionate singing.

Two nights at the 5 star Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay and then seven nights on our chartered cruise which includes visits to our own private

beach. It’s just us, so there’s every

reason for frolicking in a swimsuit which hasn’t seen the

light of day for a while, snorkelling, paddle boarding and simply sitting on a deck chair with a

Piña colada.

7 night chartered cruise to Yasawa.

9 nights accommodation - 7 nights on our chartered cruise to the Yasawa outer Islands and 2 nights in Momi Bay luxury resort.

PLACES WE STAY

Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay

We escape

to

the South

Pacific and to a

relaxing haven where tranquil waters await your arrival at Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay. Perfectly-situated on the western coast of Viti Levu in Momi Bay, this 5-Star resort offers everything you can imagine in a Coral Coast getaway. Spend your days lounging on the beautifully-designed, sheltered lagoon beaches or swim in one of the pools.

Fiji Princess

Our exclusive charter on Fiji Princess, a boutique ship, allows for the exploration of countless tranquil inlets and bays, not accessible to larger cruise ships. The Fiji Princess, from Fiji’s famous Blue Lagoon Cruises, has also been purpose-built for cruising, especially around the Yasawa Islands. The small size is just one of the things that makes our charted exclusive cruise so special. Accommodating only 68 passengers, we can access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a large ship. We can get so close to shore that we can tie off on a coconut tree and you can swim to the beach! No matter which beach or island we visit we won’t be overwhelmed by crowds, as most of the time we are the only people on the beach! Not only that, each crew member sings and plays guitar or ukulele so we will have truly musical experiences with, of course, fantastic music from us as well!
