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. With only 34 cabins, 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!

Mobility - Moderate Tour
This trip has a little more walking than an easy tour. It is a moderate tour for one of the following reasons - you may need to walk with ease for up to one hour at a slow pace or be able to climb stairs or be able to get on and off boats, trains and buses. This trip will not suit those on walkers and a moderate level of mobility is required.
