Cabins & Suites on the MS Caledonian Sky: Your Private Oasis

The MS Caledonian Sky prides itself on offering accommodations that cater to every kind of traveller, ensuring that each guest’s stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible. Spread over 5 levels, the ship’s accommodations offer travellers a range of options when it comes to space, comfort and luxury.

Standard Suites: These suites, although snug, are far from bland and ordinary. Designed with a blend of contemporary aesthetics and Fijian craftsmanship, they offer a cozy retreat. Soft ambient lighting, plush bedding, and a range of in-room amenities ensure that guests have everything they need at their fingertips. Ideal for those who prefer a quiet, intimate space, the standard suites are a testament to the fact that luxury isn’t always about size.

Superior & Premium Suites: Waking up to the vast expanse of the Pacific is a dream, and these suites make it a reality. Floor-to-ceiling windows not only flood the rooms with natural light, but also provide breathtaking views of the ever-changing seascape. Furnished with comfortable seating areas, guests can enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the waves or the occasional pod of dolphins playing in the distance.

Suites with Private Balconies: The epitome of luxury on the MS Caledonian, the Premium Balcony Suites and the Owners’ Corner Suites with Balcony are for those who desire the best.

Destinations and Itineraries: Exploring the Pacific

The MS Caledonian Sky doesn’t just offer a luxe onboard experience; it also promises a journey through some of the most enchanting destinations in the Pacific. With Captain Cook Fiji at the helm, guests are assured itineraries that blend popular spots with hidden gems, ensuring a unique travel experience.

The cruise regularly sets sail to Fiji’s renowned Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups. These islands, with their pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters, offer a slice of paradise for every traveller. Whether it’s snorkelling in the Blue Lagoon, visiting traditional Fijian villages, or simply lounging on a secluded beach, there’s something for everyone.

Beyond the natural beauty, the MS Caledonian Sky ensures guests get a taste of the rich Fijian culture. Stops at local villages allow travellers to witness traditional ceremonies, engage with local artisans, and even partake in age-old customs. It’s not just a cruise; it’s a cultural journey. While the popular spots are a must-visit, Captain Cook Fiji’s expertise shines in curating itineraries that include lesser-known destinations. Secluded bays, uninhabited islands, and underwater caves are just some of the treasures awaiting discovery.

Recognising that every traveller is unique, the MS Caledonian Sky offers a range of excursions at each stop. From adrenaline-pumping water sports to relaxed beach picnics, guests can choose how they wish to spend their day. Ask our South Pacific Specialists for a complete list of activities and experiences on tap on the cruise. For those seeking the best Fiji cruise deals, the itineraries offered by the MS Caledonian are a testament to Captain Cook Fiji’s commitment to delivering an authentic and diverse Pacific experience.

Onboard Activities and Entertainment: Setting a Fiji Cruise Apart

captain cook cruises ms caledonian sky

The journey aboard the MS Caledonian is as much about the onboard experience as it is about the destinations. Every evening, the ship’s main lounge comes alive with a variety of performances. From traditional Fijian dances that tell tales of ancient legends to contemporary music sessions, guests are treated to a cultural and auditory feast.

For those who like to stay active, there more to fitness than the ship’s state-of-the-art fitness centre. Whether it’s a morning yoga session overlooking the vast ocean or a high-intensity workout, there’s something for every fitness enthusiast. Additionally, wellness workshops and classes, from meditation to nutrition talks, ensure that guests can focus on holistic well-being.

Speaking of workshops, travellers can dive deep into Fijian culture with classes that range from local craft-making to Fijian language lessons. These interactive sessions not only provide a fun activity but also enrich the travel experience. Then, the cruise ship’s expansive pool deck is the heart of daytime activities. Guests can take a refreshing dip, join in on aqua aerobics, or simply lounge with a cocktail in hand, soaking up the sun and the panoramic ocean views.

One of the highlights aboard the MS Caledonian Sky is the open-air cinema. Guests can snuggle up with blankets and enjoy classic movies or recent blockbusters, all under a canopy of twinkling stars. Also, the ship hosts a variety of themed events like Captain’s Gala Dinners to Fijian-themed nights! These evenings offer people a chance to dress up, mingle with fellow travellers, and enjoy specially-curated menus and entertainment.

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji Introduces the Caledonian Sky

  • July 3, 2023

Caledonian Sky

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji is introducing the Caledonian Sky to its fleet. Acquired from APT Cruises earlier this year , the 114-guest expedition ship will debut for the Fiji-based brand in November 2023.

According to a statement available on the Captain Cook’s website, the 1991-built vessel will replace the Reef Endeavour, ushering a “new era of high-end cruise experiences never seen before in Fiji.”

Currently the company’s sole vessel, the 168-guest Reef Endeavour has been in service for the company since 1996.

The arrival of the Caledonian Sky “elevates and expands the pioneering expeditions” that its original ship has undertaken since entering service, the company added.

Described as a “luxury expedition small ship,” the Caledonian Sky will sail to destinations that are otherwise unreachable, Captain Cook said, including the most remote parts of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.

The program includes different three- to 14-night expeditions, all accompanied by a team of Marine Biologists and cultural experts.

The schedule also includes new itineraries for the 2024-25 season, such as a seven-night cruise to Southern Lau and Kadavu.

Sailing from Port Denarau, the expedition explores the remote southern Lau and Kadavu island groups, and allows guests to witness the great sea reef, while visiting islands including Dravuni, Moala, Fulaga, Mutuku, Beqa and Vatulele.

Also new is the 14-night Southern Lau and Tonga Whale Migration Cruise.

According to Captain Cook, the itinerary sails to the southern portion of the Lau group of islands before embarking on an expedition to the outer islands of Tonga during the whale migration period.

Originally built for Renaissance Cruises, the Caledonian Sky has sailed for several operators during its three-decade cruising career, including Noble Caledonia and Star Cruises.

According to Captain Cook, the vessel is “tailor made” for the “adventurous sophisticated traveler” and offers “spacious boutique comfort” with just 57 ocean-view staterooms.

The ship also carries a fleet of ten zodiacs, the company said, in addition to a team of 70 crew members.

Captain Cook Cruises promises high end itineraries aboard MS Caledonian Sky

Captain cook cruises fiji has purchased  ms caledonian sky. and she is promising brand new high-end expedition cruising. the purchase represents an elevation of expedition cruising in fiji..

MS Caledonian Sky offers a level of luxury and facilities not yet seen in the region.

The boutique, expedition ship MS Caledonian Sky which is known to sail the Kimberley, was sold by APT’s parent company Australian Pacific Holdings.

The ship is set to start sailing Fiji on November 11, 2023, sailing out from Nadi. A three-night sailing begins from $3297 and a seven-night sailing begins from $7693.

Allison Hamworth West, Executive Chairman of Capitan Cook Cruises Fiji says the acquisition is a mark the cruise line’s ambition to achieve a new level of luxury in Fiji.

“MS Caledonian Sky will provide a new era in luxury expedition cruising never seen before in Fiji. So her arrival will provide an opportunity to explore many previously inaccessible parts of Fiji in elegant comfort.

“Opening up new island locations never visited by tourists. And doing it in a sensitive and sustainable way as passengers are guided by our team of Marine Biologists and Cultural Experts.”

What’s new?

They will not be keeping the ship’s current crew in its entirety. However, you can expect an improved cruise-to-passenger ratio as well as more specialised expedition staff.

“Although MV Reef Endeavour (63 rooms) and MS Caledonian Sky ( 57 suites) have a similar passenger capacity. The Caledonian Sky has more crew and a larger crew-to-passenger ratio. So return guests will be able to come back and cruise with the Captain   Cook Fiji family they know and love as well as meet some new faces.

“A bigger galley team, an expedition team of multiple Marine Biologists and Cultural Experts. And, the line will have more hotel crew.”

The luxury MS Caledonian Sky can accommodate 114 passengers across 57 ocean-view cabins. Suites have private balconies, and the ship has alfresco dining and a large sky deck. The small size of the ship enables it to visit more remote islands across the Pacific that aren’t possible for larger ships.

She will replace MV Reef Endeavour , creating a more high-end version of current itineraries. New seven-night Northern Lau and Southern Lau sailings begin in April 2024. And there are 14-night voyages from Lau to Tonga and Samoa.

The ship has 10 zodiacs for expedition activities and there will be a team of marine biologists and cultural experts on every sailing. And they will offer insight into the environments and destinations visited.

Ms Haworth West says: “The arrival of MS Caledonian Sky will see an expansion in our small ship expedition cruise programs. And this allows us to share more exquisite and remote locations with our guests, who’ll travel in elegant comfort.”

NOT SURE WHAT TO BOOK OR NEED HELP WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS?

We are full steam ahead with cruises and can't wait to welcome you aboard. As of the 14 th  Feb 2023, entry requirements into Fiji have been removed. No longer do you need to show your vaccination status or have a prebooked PCR test.  For the protection of the remote communities of the outer islands, Captain Cook Cruises requires passengers boarding our 7-night Remote North Cruise and 7 or11 night Lau cruises to have a mandatory preboarding RAT test. The pre-voyage screenings are for the protection of all the remote communities on the remote islands that we visit.  Many of these isolated communities have little or no access to medical facilities or supplies, so to protect them, Captain Cook Cruises requires all passengers to complete a COVID Rapid Antigen Test (RAT test) within 24 hours of boarding the ship.  You can achieve this in various ways: 1)  From 10am on the day we can direct you to our medical partners in Port Denarau for them to conduct a test for you at a cost of $35 .2) Provide a letter from any professional medical provider with their name and stamp certifying that you have produced a negative test within the allowed time period 3) Complete your own RAT test before coming to the counter or when you arrive on departure day. Photograph it with your phone and show it to check in staff on arrival – Please note that the photograph will need to have a time stamp on it to show the test was taken within the defined period.   Please be aware that in line with our policy of protecting the remote communities of the outer islands our staff are required to deny boarding to any passengers who refuse to comply with this process. Should boarding be denied, a credit note may be issued for future cruises, but no refunds will be allowed. We thank you for your understanding and we look forward to having you on board.

First-ever luxury small ship expedition cruise

Listen to this article:

captain cook cruises ms caledonian sky

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji has launched Fiji’s first-ever luxury small ship expedition cruise with the MS Caledonian Sky.

Comprising 57 suites, the cruise ship will offer a 14-week cruise package that will visit islands in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. Captain Cook Cruises Fiji executive chairperson Allison Haworth-West said the MS Caledonia Sky has brought with her a new era of cruise experiences and tourism infrastructure in Fiji.

“When my parents started Captain Cook Cruises in 1970 in Sydney, the business was started with the premise and the intention of providing the opportunity to people to experience a location which was Sydney,” said Ms Haworth West.

“The reason we are all here today we are still trying to do the same 50 or so years later.

“We have brought Caledonia Sky here to allow people to explore the most beautiful places and destinations and cultures of Fiji and meet the people that as we know are extraordinary.

“For many years already along with the Koroilavesau family we have already been pioneering this with the MV Reef Endeavour, however, Caledonia Sky, will allow us to open up not just the Mamanucas, the Yasawas but also the remote North and Lau groups to a much greater extent.

“And bringing the benefit of sustainable sensitive tourism to Fiji in a way we like to do with respect and a meaningful way.”

Ms Haworth-West said their luxury expedition cruising in Fiji would elevate their offering to a level not seen before in Fiji.

The cruise ship will make its maiden voyage today.
