The Fijian archipelago is tailor-made for cruising, allowing travelers to board a ship, unpack just once, and wake up each day with a new white-sand paradise underfoot. Guests can explore this way with Captain Cook Cruises Fiji, a one-ship line that has been operating in this part of the South Pacific for more than three decades and also offers day cruises on three smaller vessels. In early 2024, the 110-guest Caledonian Sky, an expedition-style ship, replaced the 130-guest MV Reef Endeavour on 3- to 14-night itineraries that afford plenty of time on the beach and in the water, but with culturally enriching stops built in, too. These include visits to Fijian villages, schools, and churches, as well as opportunities to experience local traditions such as a tropical lovo feast and a kava ceremony.
