Join MV Reef Endeavour for a journey of discovery, as we cruise around the north of Yasawa and visit Pacific jewels like the famous Sawa-i-lau limestone cave and blue lagoon. This 4 night cruise is perfect for those who have limited time, but want a slightly longer break than 3 nights.
You’ll cruise to our privately owned Tivua island and spend time exploring the beaches and coral reef and if diving is your passion, there’s also a new wreck, Raiyawa to explore. You’ll see many beautiful beaches along the way including Drawaqa Bay and Yaqeta Beach and the pinnacle of our cruise is a visit to the world famous Sawa-i-lau aquamarine limestone lagoon, which featured in the 1980 movie ‘Blue Lagoon’.
There are 16 islands in the Yasawa island group, which stretches for a total distance of 90 kilometres and because they were formed by volcanic activity, they are more rugged than other Fijian islands and are renowned for their pristine natural beauty.
The Yasawa’s people are also unique and you’ll experience the best of Fijian culture on this cruise with a feast and cultural performance at Gunu, a visit to a school, village and shell market at Matacawalevu and a spot of crab racing at Sawa-I-Lau.
And after experiencing daily shore visits such as these, you’ll return to the luxury of MV Reef Endeavour, where you’ll enjoy all the amenities of a larger cruise liner including fully catered buffets and 3-course meals, massage services, cocktail bar, jacuzzi, gym and swimming pool.
Our 4 night Mamanuca & Northern Yasawa Islands small ship adventure is perfect for those with busy lives who still want enough time to escape and unwind. It’s ideal for singles, couples and families and cruises depart 12pm Tuesdays and return 9am Saturdays at Port Denarau Marina in Nadi.

When you cruise aboard a small ship like MV Reef Endeavour, you get the best of both worlds. On the one hand you enjoy all the luxury amenities of a large cruise liner, such as meals prepared fresh daily onboard, a Captain’s Kids Club, two bars, free WiFi, a day spa, jacuzzi, gym, and freshwater swimming pool. Plus you also enjoy the unique benefits of being smaller, a trait which means we can often go where the big ships can’t venture and experience rarely visited Fijian destinations and cultures. By maintaining strong relationships with remote local villages, we are able to give you a unique behind-the-scenes insight into remote island life.
Our 4 night cruise is designed to provide busy people with a window in which to enjoy a well deserved break, without taking too much time out of their schedules. One night longer than our 3 night cruise, it makes the most of each moment, with daily island stopovers, a choice of water activities, reefs to snorkel, beaches to explore and locals to meet on island, village and school tours and at lovo feasts and kava ceremonies. Or alternatively, it provides a peaceful window for you to laze by the pool, sip a cocktail or two and chill for a while in the warm tropical sun. The choice is yours on our 4 night cruise.
Because she only caters for 130 passengers, the atmosphere on MV Reef Endeavour is relaxed and informal and every passenger can be assured of personal attention. The ship offers four accommodation levels and a choice of 63 suites, ocean staterooms and porthole cabins, each air-conditioned and with a private ensuite bathroom. Facilities onboard include a swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi, mini gym, guest laundry, dining saloon, two bars, a conference room, gift shop and library and we provide free WiFi when mobile reception is available. As for the crew, the Fijian people are some of the most friendly in the world and you will leave us feeling as though you are leaving family.
One of the most memorable attractions common to all of our Fiji cruises is the food. Our mouth-watering alfresco luncheons, gourmet barbecues and a-la-carte dinners are prepared daily onboard by our team of chefs from fresh local and imported produce and our cuisine is a delicious fusion of international and Fijian flavours. Breakfast is from 7.30am to 9.00am daily lunch from 12.30pm and dinner from 7pm to 8pm. Each meal has one sitting only and table seating is only assigned for dinner. If you have any food allergies or special dietary requirements, these can also be catered for, providing you notify the kitchen in advance.
Our 3 night cruise is our shortest, designed for those with limited time and visiting Mamanuca and the Southern Yasawa Islands. Our 4 night cruise is ideal for those wanting a slightly longer break and visits Mamanuca and Northern Yasawa Islands, There’s a 7 night combination of these cruises and our other 7 night cruises are for those interested in Fiji’s history and culture, one exploring the colonial past of the remote Fiji Islands and the other circumnavigating Vanua Levu to celebrate the four cultures of Fiji. Finally, our 11 night cruise is for lovers of nature and explores the unspoilt beauty of the remote Lau Islands and Kadavu.
