Captain Cook Fiji renames popular cultural cruise
Captain Cook Cruises Fiji has today announced that the company has changed the name of its two popular seven nights Northern Discovery Cruises on-board the small ship, MV Reef Endeavour.
The Discovery Cultural Cruise will now be called the Four Cultures Discovery cruise and the Discovery Heritage Cruise is now named the Colonial Fiji Discovery Cruise.
“We decided to change the names of these cruises so they better reflect the actual experience offered on each cruise. For example passengers discover and experience four different cultures on the Discovery Cultural Cruise, so to rename the cruise The Four Cultures Discovery cruise just made perfect sense”. Explains Jackie Charlton, General Manager, Captain Cook Cruises Fiji.
The Four Cultures Discovery cruise circumnavigates Fiji’s second largest island Vanua Levu and gives passengers the ultimate chance to experience the cultures of the Ellice Islanders (Polynesians), Banabans (Micronesia), Fijian and Indians.
