Cruise Fiji and the South Pacific

Discover the real Fiji with glorious days and romantic nights in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands aboard the luxury cruise ship Reef Endeavour

Enjoy magnificent cuisine and personalised service as you cruise to pristine beaches and remote islands with palm fringed villages. Bask in the warm lagoons, savour the bounty of the lovo feast, dance to the drums of the meke and sleep to the sound of surf on a distant reef. Aboard the 140 passenger Reef Endeavour we will show you the Fiji Archipelago which has more than 330 islands scattered across 230,000 square kilometres. The exotic Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands lie to the north west of Nadi, the gateway to Fiji. It's a breathtakingly beautiful cruising passage through hundreds of tropical volcanic islands and spectacular coral gardens.

An ancient culture, rich in myth and legend, the Fijian lifestyle is beautiful in its simplicity. Visit timeless villages, untouched by 21st century technology and experience the unique local customs and ceremonies.

Sacred Island

MV Reef Endeavour’s small size means she can negotiate remote reefs, islands and shallow bays where bigger ships just cannot go. Yet her innovative design provides many big ship extra comforts including swimming pool and spa pools, staterooms that open directly onto the outside deck, extensive timber-laid leisure decks and an embarkation platform with a lift from the water level to the main deck.

The onboard guides and dive master will introduce you to the beauty of the islands and reefs. Four onboard reef vessels, including glass bottom boat, snorkelling and dive tenders, bring you as close as possible to the amazing world we travel.

Glass bottom boat trips included

Reef Endeavour sails every Saturday and Tuesday from Denarau Marina, Nadi. We know the islands intimately and our seven-night cruise itinerary offers the ultimate Fiji voyage. For those with limited time, the cruise is also offered in 3 night or 4 night sections.
