Music For Romantics ~ Fijian Cruise

Exclusive charter with magical musical experiences

03 ~ 12 MAY 2017

Join us for our exclusive Music for Romantics cruise, set in the romantic outer Fijian Islands with balmy breezes, spectacular sunsets and magnificent music!

Every crew member on our exclusive cruise sings and plays guitar or ukulele and when you add them to the talent we are bringing from NZ, it equates to a feast of song. If you think you know Fiji but have never ventured to the outer islands this is your chance to experience beautiful scenery, private beaches where the water is clear and it feels like warm bathwater, and incredible local friendly hospitality.

We combine a tropical paradise with magnificent themed concerts presented by some of New Zealand's finest artists: concert pianist Stephen de Pledge, violinist Jessica Hindin and four fine singers: Bonnie, Sue, Kalauni Pouvalu and Amanda Atlas.

Our own private charter covers the full length of the magnificent Yasawa Island chain as well as Modriki and the Sacred Islands where we combine our own special flavour with that of the Fijian people. We will see mother nature at her best, be welcomed into the friendliest culture in the world, discover an underwater world of vibrant life, laze on countless golden sand beaches and luxuriate in warm lagoons.
