    New Caledonia and Vanuatu's climate is perfect for southern hemisphere winter cruising.  Ocean temps are good and air temp is perfect and lower humidity.

     

    I have cruised South Pacific with other lines and also holiday regularly in Vanuatu during July.  It is perfect.

    Agree 100%

    we usually rotate between a South Pacific cruise one year, then 10 days on a Fiji island the next.

    Wait until December to book.

    we got $1400 OBC for our cruise on voyager  in 6 weeks time.

    $800 for one in February on Ovation 

    Booked it last December 

    we got about the same OBC $1,000 USD = AUD $1,450 for Voyager in March 2020

    No more swimming with Dolphins in Bay of Islands.

    So are you saying Waitangi Golf is in Bay of Islands?  Do they rent clubs for cruisers?  Four of our group like to try and golf somewhere on a stop when we cruise. 

     

    Yes.

    The tenders drop you very close to the course & the treaty house.

    A must do if you like golf, rent everything, clubs & carts, bring plenty of balls unless you are really good?

    the Treaty house is amazing, well worth a look at too.

    Cheers

    Review - Reef Endeavour - Fiji

    We recently returned from Fiji where we embarked on a new experience for DW & I - our first 'small ship' or expedition cruise. After 17 ocean cruises covering much of Australia, NZ and Sth Pacific + Alaska/Hawaii we went for something totally different. We travelled with my sister and BIL.

     

    _SNIP_

     

    We visited Brother Is, Naviti Is, Drawaqa Bay, Yaqeta Beach Sawa-I-Lau Is (with caves) & Blue Lagoon (where the movie was filmed), the village of Gunu & Matacawaleva School.

    The combination of Fiji time, the incredible friendly crew on the ship, the scenery, both above and below the water, the Fijian people, the weather, the food, a few drinks all combined for an incredible experience that we thoroughly recommend.

     

    We were sad to depart as the crew sang goodbye to us all and we all hugged and shook hands with the wonderful crew. A great time!

    Love Fiji!

     

    Great report, Have you got some pics for us to drool over?

     

    Have seriously thought about the cruise you did.

     

    Yasawa Islands are just amazing, been to a few of the smaller islands too.

     

    BULA!

     Suite lounge is where izumi used to be just near sky high bar (Viking crown ) which will be extended to the rear.

     Concierge lounge becomes more cabins.

     I believe there’s a tiki bar going in next to cafe promenade.A sports bar next to the pub.

    No coastal Kitchen.

    You can have breakfast in chops .

    Izumi is taking part of Windjammer opposite chops.

    thanks Chilliburn,

    appreciate your reply.

    have only sailed on Radiance & Ovation.

     

    Voyager sits in the middle - am really keen to tick off another class of RCI ship!

    Voyager of the Sea - Amplified

    in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers

    G'day Guys,

     

    Hoping to get some info on changes after the Amplification later this year.

     

    I did have a quick look, a very quick look...

    loved the look of the updated pool deck on Navigator, I'm hoping Voyager gets the same?

    lime & coconut?

    is there a suite lounge, what deck?

    is there a suite restaurant like Coastal Kitchen on Ovation?

     

    Appreciate any help

    Cheers

    I have booked four legs out of Sydney on Serenade.  The CL was the one that was not busy?  

     

    G'day Island Lady,

    Yes the CL was never even half full...

    DL was full every night.

    I especially like the chairs up at the bar...

    loved watching the flying fish jump the waves from the CL.

     

    If you don't want an overflowing CL/SL then sail from Sydney.

     

    We only had 1 x pineapple, but around 150 D+

     

    Enjoy..
