Wanderer Cruise
5 Day / 4 Night Cruise
Start this cruise off in the spectacular Sacred Islands then head north and explore the beauty of the Yasawa Islands. Visit the famous Blue Lagoon and spend time on our private beach here.
Flexible Cruising
This cruise is based on the itinerary detailed below but 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, either when necessary, or when some exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking part 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 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. Cruising through a region of coral lagoons and isolated island anchorages is weather dependent and so, at times, our itineraries may need to be altered. However we'll always endeavor to ensure all of the highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.
