Ocean Discovery – Lautoka, Suva & Apia

About this cruise

A 12-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Lautoka on May 4, 2028 and visits Suva, Apia and Rarotonga Island, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. Disembarkation is in Papeete. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 4 countries (Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands and French Polynesia) across the Pacific Islands, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Suva, Fiji's colonial-era capital of multicultural charm. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Spirit. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
