    Customer Review

    Little cruise ship that took me diving. The Caves of Babylon was a stunning dive in mammoth caves with a wall that fell into the abyss. Endless swim-thrus and cracks and crevices that beg to be explored. I could have spent my entire trip exploring this one site.” Recommended for: Food, islands, staff.

    Customer Review

    Best way to see Fiji. Beautiful islands, best soft coral we’ve ever seen, memorable authentic culture experiences (not sham sales shows), and the best crew we’ve had on any class of ship. They sang all the time, always smiled, and knew our names because they wanted to, not because they had too. Sit down and drink the kava with them!!Recommended for: Unbelievable staff; 2 islands every day; multiple options at most stops all included.
