Volcanic Atoll Odyssey – Suva, Rarotonga & Bora Bora

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Lautoka on October 13, 2027, visiting Dravuni Island Fiji, Suva and Apia, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. Disembarkation is 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Pacific Islands: Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands and French Polynesia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Spirit takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Lautoka has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Lautoka and come back with stories from Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands and French Polynesia.
