Coral Coast - Denarau - Modriki. Enjoy a leisurely morning before transferring to Denarau Marina to embark on your Fiji Princess cruise. As you board, the warm call of Ni Sa Bula welcomes you to your Fijian adventure.

You set sail for the outer Mamanuca Islands, anchoring at the picturesque Modriki Island - famous as the filming location for Tom Hanks’ Cast Away. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and canapés as the sun sets, followed by the Captain’s Gala Dinner and crew introduction.

Modriki - Soso Island. Wake to the beauty of Modriki Island and enjoy a morning swim or stroll along the beach. Weather permitting, we stop at a secret reef location where you may have the chance to swim with reef sharks.

After lunch on board, visit the chiefly village of Soso - a fine example of a contemporary Fijian island community. Dinner tonight is an Indian-inspired Thali feast, followed by Bollywood-style music and dancing.

Soso Island - Naukacuvu Island. Sundays in Fiji are traditionally a day of rest, but today offers plenty of opportunities to explore. You may wish to snorkel among vibrant coral reefs or attend a local church service to experience island life.

Enjoy a traditional Sunday roast as we sail south towards the beautiful Naukacuvu and Narara Islands. Join the ship’s chef for a hands-on cooking class and learn how to prepare Kokoda, a local marinated fish dish. This evening’s buffet features a blend of Fijian and European cuisine. Afterwards, join a fun Fijian-style bingo game or unwind at the bar.

Naukacuvu Island - Yalobi Bay. This morning we arrive at the stunning Sacred Isles - a true tropical paradise framed by the volcanic peaks of Waya Lailai. Spend the day swimming, snorkelling and relaxing amid breathtaking scenery.

Later, enjoy Fijian-style high tea following a short cooking lesson on how to make Roti in Lolo (roti cooked in coconut milk). As the sun sets, enjoy the Captain’s Dinner and welcome new guests joining the cruise as we anchor in Yalobi Bay.

Yalobi Bay - Blue Lagoon. Today we sail to the world-famous Blue Lagoon, an enchanting expanse of turquoise water surrounded by palm-fringed islands. The cruise’s private island peninsula lies here, offering a perfect setting to relax.

Watch the crew skillfully tie the ship to coconut trees right on the beach, enjoy canapés during happy hour, snorkel in the shallows or feed tropical fish. As evening falls, enjoy a traditional Lovo feast - food cooked underground - beneath the stars. The night comes alive with meke performances of Fijian song, dance and storytelling.

Bue Lagoon - Sawa I Lau Island. Begin the day with a guided walk across the island, taking in panoramic views. Visit a local cake shop, browse the shell market, or try basket weaving. Enjoy a guided snorkelling safari before sailing to the extraordinary Sawa-i-Lau caves.

At the village of Tamasua, take part in a traditional Yaqona (kava) ceremony and enjoy a Fijian-style feast prepared by the village women. Sit on woven mats, share stories and immerse yourself in island traditions.

Sawa I Lau Island - Drawaga Island. Explore the famous limestone caves of Sawa-i-Lau at your own pace - a swim in the cool cave lagoon is truly unforgettable. Visit a local school for an authentic cultural encounter, snorkel over vibrant coral gardens, or attend a presentation with the ship’s marine biologist to learn about Fiji’s marine life and conservation projects.

End the day with a relaxed barbecue dinner under the stars.
