Overall this 7 night trip was outstanding for seeing the beautiful western islands and getting the opportunity to see what the non-city life is like for Fijians. The cruise staff works to ensure you understand Fijian culture expectations, provides historical background, extends warm hospitality and outstanding personal service, and strives to ensure everyone’s wellbeing and safety during water, land based & shipboard activities.
The food served is very good and varied. The bar servers seek to please. The on board staff work as a seamless team to get the job done (their on board & nationally recognized marine biologist, Amos Daniel, also supports the working crew, assists in the bar, and dances with the staff during cultural demonstrations).
Water based excursions for dives, snorkeling and beach time is well coordinated and again, safety is paramount. Glass bottom boat operator, Ice Iskulathan Amos, uses dry wit and humor while giving clear to understand instructions after gaining

The 7 day cruise was amazing. Great snorkeling, diving, food, entertainment... but the crew makes this experience.
From:
- Ilisani the entertainment director who was organized, funny and was great at explaining culture and keeping us organized. “Good try..... but no that isn’t the word of the day”
- Amos, the marine biologist who made sure we saw great things on our snorkeling trips
- Billy, the award winning (literally) bartender who made us unique and tasty cocktails.
- Ice, the glass bottom boat driver who got us to the ship after church in rough seas and who was amazing with the children
- Nurse Boo Boo, who is the happiest lady on earth...a big smile constantly
- Susie, Suzanna, Raibe our amazing severs....I’m sure I’m missing a bunch
- The Padi dive crew who kept us safe and ensured we had amazing dives.
- Patricia, the infamous curry cook
- Aspiring deck officer Jack, who ensured I made it back from the hike
- Mela our female 1st officer .... #girlpower! Go Mela!

Extraordinary vacation aboard the Reef Endeavour, Fiji. What a treat it was to spend time cruising the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands of Fiji. Captain Ian and his crew exceeded all expectations with service, entertainment, food, cultural experiences, diving, snorkeling and beaches. The Fijians are such lovely, warm and welcoming people. We experienced a Kava ceremony, a Fijian Church service and school visits. Ilisani did a beautiful job coordinating our daily activities and providing us with a schedule for the day. Captain Ian and crew took us to some of the most beautiful coral reefs and beaches in the world. We had daily information sessions, with Amos, about the coral reefs we were visiting. My husband was thrilled to get his dive certificate during our week long stay. We had a wonderful cultural experience of song and dance from the crew on our last night. Many thanks to Captain Ian and the Reef Endeavour crew for making this an unforgettable experience!

What a trip this was. It was my first time to Fiji and to cruise on a smaller ship. Had a fantastic time. Island adventure right from day one. Snorkeling, swimming, kayaking or what ever you decided to do. Staff were just lovely and always a smiling face and so eager to assist. Loved Amos' quiz hour. Hilarious and great fun. Food was delicious and great choices.An amazing way to explore Fiji. Would recommend Captain Cook cruises 100% and hope to one day return to do another adventuress cruise. Kathy B, Williamstown, SA

The cruise is a complete island and cultural experience of the Yasawa Islands. You get to wake up each day to a new amazing island. Fiji is such a beautiful place and this cruise let’s you be part of it. Highly recommend!!!
Crew - Family
The crew are what makes this cruise. You are family the minute you get on board. Ilisoni is a fabulous host, Amos the marine biologist is hilarious but also VERY informative on each of the reef visits. Manasa is a great entertainer too. Everyone is always happy to help and make your holiday amazing.
Activities
If you want to just relax you can, for us we snorkelled everyday, twice a day. The water was a warm 27-28c every day. The fish in abundance and so relaxing to just float around with. Cultural visits to schools, churches, villages were also so so good. You can lie on a beach, go snorkelling, go glass bottom boat exploring, or relax on the ship.
Food
Food was extremely good. Every night a different menu for dinner, a sit down alacarte meal. L
