Wonderful destinations on this cruise between Fiji and Papeete. The crew and the fellow passengers was delightful and easy to talk to. The food was very good but could perhaps be a bit more adventurous - even people in the 60+ segment nowadays appreciate a bit more spicy food, the food was more safe and blend.

The general staff were terrific but the interaction of the Officers was almost non-existent, to the point that two officers standing ...
We were very interested in seeing both the North/South Islands and specifically Milford Sound. In fact we were one of the 25 passengers who booked the ship's excursion to get off the ship for thee days/2 nights and rejoin the ship in Port Chalmers so that we could really experience Fiordland National Park and Queenstown. This was the main purpose of choosing this cruise. Due to rough seas on the ...
