Time is running out for travellers to join MS Caledonian Sky’s extraordinary itineraries to the remote reaches of Tonga and Fiji. Keen travellers are advised to reserve their place onboard the boutique expedition ship now, in time to join her remaining voyages in the region.
Limited places are still available on some incredible itineraries including the 14-night whales-swimming expeditions in Tonga, seven-night voyages to the Lau archipelago and Fiji’s remote north, as well as the popular three- and four-night sailing to the Yasawa and the Mamanuca islands.
Small ship expeditions to these remote regions, some never before visited by travellers from the outside world and offering an unforgettable experience of the ‘real’ Fiji – including incredible marine experiences on pristine reefs and remote cays plus visits to small Fijian villages in an incredible cultural exchange – will not be on offer again in the foreseeable future.
MS Caledonian Sky’s final voyage in the region is the seven-night Ultimate Lau and Kaduvu expedition sailing from Lautoka on October 26 this year. MS Caledonian Sky will depart Fiji for good in November, before being redeployed to the Mediterranean in November under a new operator.
The ‘Sail Seven Pay Four’ offer is still available on selected seven-night departures, making a compelling reason for travellers to hop onboard.
Captain Cook Cruises Fiji will continue to operate its highly successful day and dinner cruise experiences including visits to the company’s own Tivua Private Island in Fiji.
Over the next three months, travellers will have a last chance to join seven-night expeditions to Fiji’s Remote North, Northern and Southern Lau Islands which will operate until end-October with two special Southern Lau and Tonga 14-night expeditions to experience the whale migration departing on August 17 and 31 this year. The cruise company’s popular cruises to the Yasawa and Mamanuca island groups will continue to operate per the cruise’s calendar, offering a shorter break to explore Fiji’s pristine waters and vibrant coral reefs.
MS Caledonian Sky’s itineraries visit more than 90 of Fiji’s 333 islands. Some villages recently opened to visitors for the first time ever including the Lau Islands of Matuku, Cicia, Bulyia and Vanuavatu, where guests and the ship’s crew were greeted with enthusiastic singing by the village choirs followed by a refreshing swim to view coral reefs and marine life. Vatulele’s 5000-year-old rock art, red prawns and pristine lagoon have been rediscovered with the first visit by tourists since 2012.
Captain Cook Cruises Executive Chair Allison Haworth West said she encouraged travellers to book now to reserve their place on MS Caledonian Sky’s remaining expeditions of Fiji and Tonga.
“This is the last chance to visit these otherwise inaccessible parts of remote Fiji. With limited space remaining, now is the time for travellers to book their cruise before the ship’s itineraries wrap up in October,” Mrs Haworth West said.
“Generously inclusive rates feature all dining, selected drinks and marine-based adventures with our onboard Fijian Marine Biologists as well as guided visits to discover coral reefs and remote villages via ten Zodiac boats,” she said.
