About this cruise

This 12-night sailing from Lautoka on September 28, 2028 visits Suva, Apia and Rarotonga Island, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. The sailing ends in Papeete. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 4 countries (Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands and French Polynesia) across the Pacific Islands, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Spirit. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 12-night sailing is a strong place to start.
