On itineraries pausing near the Fijian archipelago en route to or from the Date Line, charter a private catamaran along the Coral Coast for world-class snorkelling over pristine reefs, a champagne reef lunch, and the warm turquoise immersion that defines the South Pacific.
What to expect
A sleek catamaran departs the marina as the morning sun turns the lagoon jade and cobalt. Your Fijian guide leads you over coral gardens teeming with lionfish, parrotfish, and reef sharks. A champagne and fresh-coconut lunch is served at anchor above a shallow sand flat. The return journey offers sundowners against one of the Pacific's most celebrated sunset skies. This is the South Pacific at its most unfiltered and magnificent.
Good to know
Pre-book directly with South Sea Cruises well ahead of sailing; private charters fill quickly on luxury itineraries. Confirm your all-aboard time with the ship before booking and allow at least 2 hours of buffer. Reef-safe sunscreen is required.
