Flexible Cruising

To ensure you have the best possible cruise experience, we use 'flexible cruising'. What this means is that we're prepared to alter our itineraries, for weather-related reasons or when an exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking place in a local Yasawa Village, which you really should see, then we will alter our cruise route to take you there. Or, if we think that our destined anchorage for the night is not going to be as sheltered as a bay on the other side of the island, we'll up-anchor and move. However, we'll always endeavour to ensure all of the highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.
