Holidays in Fiji
Sitting just below the Equator with an average maximum temperature that barely dips below 26 degrees, Fiji is an enticing getaway for Victorians at any time of the year. With over 300 islands dotted across the sparkling South Pacific Ocean, Fiji offers a year round sun-kissed holiday. Balmy tropical days that revolve around the rising tide and the setting sun, there is a Fijian island to entice all types of holidaymakers.
Island resorts, hotels and bures cater for every type of traveller from budget through to ultra-luxe and everything in between. Island cruising is another option to explore the islands and coral reefs beyond the palm-fringed beach. Captain Cook and Blue Lagoon Cruises both offer luxury small ship cruises for extended expeditions to far-flung islands accessible only by sea.
Cruising is a unique way to enjoy Fijian’s renowned hospitality as each village lays out the welcome mat for seafaring visitors. Cultural ceremonies and traditional dance form an integral part of any welcome with visitors often encouraged to join in the dancing.
Their hair adorned with fragrant floral garlands, their bodies draped in colourful sulus, ladies sashay their hips while men keep time with a rhythmic beat using drums, hands, snapping fingers even. Stirring voices seem to raise the rafters as everyone joins in with singing and harmonies. Predominantly Christian, Sunday is a day of rest across Fiji that sees everyone in their Sunday best.
Visitors are always welcome to attend Sunday services which are worth attending to hear glorious hymns ringing out across the village.
Visiting Fiji from Melbourne with direct flights to Nadi on Air Pacific has never been easier. Book your ticket to Fiji now and you’ll find yourself sashaying to Fiji’s rhythm before you know it.
We look forward to seeing you on board soon!
