The capital city and largest metropolitan area in Fiji, Suva is a destination worth looking forward to when you’re exploring Australasia and the Pacific Ocean. Here, you’ll find an abundance of vibrant culture, sensational cuisine, and unforgettable adventures. Its importance to the region around it, though, cannot be understated; Suva is the socioeconomic centre of the South Pacific, and is slowly cementing itself as the region’s fashion capital too! So, you’ll really be able to enjoy the best of the best when visiting this fascinating city. Those who want to stay where the action is, you’ll find Suva home to lively marketplaces and several fascinating museums, alongside plenty of places to tuck into some flavourful local food. Beyond this, though, you’ll find so much more to enjoy; the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is just one of these destinations – but, perhaps, the best for those with limited time in the capital city. A luscious nature reserve just a short distance from Suva, the hiking routes here are exceptional; and, if you want, you’ll be able to swim and bird-watch here too. However you feel like spending your time, you’re in for a real treat when Suva is on your itinerary.

With a permanent population of just 125, this miniscule island doesn’t even cover an area of one square-kilometre; it really doesn’t get more remote, and more unspoilt, than this. Boasting long stretches of white-sand beaches, sparkling crystal-clear waters, and the opportunity to truly disconnect from the outside world, it can’t be overstated just how incredible this port of call is. Here, you’ll enjoy an authentic Fijian experience, and find picture-perfect views everywhere you look. It’s like stepping into a postcard, in the best possible way.

Opera House

Established in the early 19th century, it makes for a wonderful visit if you’re looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Alternatively, you could reach for the sky at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Constructed out of steel, this prominent bridge connects the central business district to the North Shore. What’s so incredible about the ‘coat hanger’ bridge, is that you can climb it and take in breathtaking views of the city and harbour!

The capital city and largest metropolitan area in Fiji, Suva is a destination worth looking forward to when you’re exploring Australasia and the Pacific Ocean.

Its importance to the region around it, though, cannot be understated; Suva is the socioeconomic centre of the South Pacific, and is slowly cementing itself as the region’s fashion capital too!

Beyond this, though, you’ll find so much more to enjoy; the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is just one of these destinations – but, perhaps, the best for those with limited time in the capital city. A luscious nature reserve just a short distance from Suva, the hiking routes here are exceptional; and, if you want, you’ll be able to swim and bird-watch here too. However you feel like spending your time, you’re in for a real treat when Suva is on your itinerary.
Things to do in Suva:
Colo-i-Suva Forest Park
Established in 1872, the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy – a network of forest conservation programmes developed in 2015 to help protect the natural landscape of Commonwealth countries – and a stunningly beautiful palace to visit when in Suva. Home to a variety of hiking trails, the opportunity to swim, and plenty of birds to spot with your binoculars, everyone can enjoy spending some time here. Among the native flora here, of which there is a lot to admire, you’ll also find some African Mahogany, which was planted here throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
Suva Fiji Temple
A rather recent addition to the architecture of Suva, having only been completed in 2000, the Suva Fiji Temple is a remarkable temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the first of its kind to be built in Fiji. Designed with traditional designs and styles in mind, it’s located at one of the highest points in the city and features a 72-foot tall spire. With subtle nods to the local culture alongside the broader symbolism utilised by the Church, it’s a sight worth seeing and stands out against much of Suva’s other architecture.
Fiji Museum
Sitting in the heart of Suva’s Thurston Gardens, stunning botanical gardens worth visiting in their own right, the Fiji Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in learning more about Fiji and Fijian culture. It’s home to the most important collection of Fijian artefacts in the world, with exhibitions showing off a variety of items of historic importance – from authentic canoes and objects related to cannibalism, to contemporary artwork and more.
Dravuni Island

Here, you’ll enjoy an authentic Fijian experience, and find picture-perfect views everywhere you look. It’s like stepping into a postcard, in the best possible way.
Things to do in Dravuni Island:
Dravuni Island Lookout
If you fancy stretching your legs when you arrive, a short hike up to the inland peak on Dravuni Island is always a good idea. You’ll be able to get here along a fairly easy hiking trail, and you’ll be met with fantastic views of the island when you arrive. It’s also a great spot to grab a picture of your cruise ship, which you should have no trouble seeing.
Snorkelling
If sun lounging isn’t something you want to spend the whole time doing, you can actually snorkel straight from the island’s beaches. With the island being within the Great Astrolabe Reef, which is the world’s fourth-largest coral reef, you won’t have to swim very far at all to find some stunning marine life. A rocky outcrop right by the island’s wharf is home to some of the most easily-accessible coral, making this almost too easy to enjoy.
Dravuni Island Village
If you’re looking for an authentic Fijian experience, it doesn’t get more authentic than the village on Dravuni Island. Here, you’ll be able to observe village life and learn more about the culture here from the friendly locals. You’ll also find the University of the South Pacific research station here, which is used to study the local marine life. While you will have to be mindful of the village’s customs, spending some time here is always special.

The ship is beautiful the atrium and staircase is stunning. The food was plentiful fresh and always well presented in the the horizon buffet.
The main dining room service was excellent and vast range of dishes for all every night. With Princess favourite available as standard 3 starters and mains. The ship was very clean and staff always greeted us with a smile.
I have been on 15 cruises ( 5 different lines) and the Royal Princess ship is one of my favourites.

Positive points: Plus package is excellent and gives you the option to pay the difference for a premium drink. Menus are very clear as to what is or isn’t included. Excursions were expensive but very well organised. Overall entertainment was OK with the house band Dynamix the pick of the options. Friendly crew.
Negative points; we cruised on Royal Princess in 2018 and at that time she was our favourite ship. 8 years on we felt that a referees was required. The sofa in our cabin was worn out and uncomfortable, there are no USB points in the cabin and there is a shower curtain rather than a glass door. None of these are terrible but many of the newer ships make Royal Princess seem a bit tired.
We thought the medallion was just a gimmick. Yes it opens your door and I guess it helps the staff at the restaurant identify who is waiting in line. However, if you order a drink you still have to give your room number and the service is definitely slowed by the medallion. We waited for 25 minutes for a drinks order at Crooners, we waited an hour on another occasion for a drink at the Horizon bar and nothing turned up at all. We had instances where the app said our drinks had been delivered when they clearly had not. Trying to get a drink at the bar was very difficult. Staff didn’t know who was next in line and took ages to get served.
Food was ok but not very imaginative! We prefer NCL, Celebrity and Princess in that order. Food choices on NCL are far more varied and they have far more speciality restaurants. On Riyal Princess Sabatini’s always had spaces so didn’t appear to be that popular. Ocean Terrace was virtually empty for the whole cruise.
Finally, the descriptions for the excursions could be more helpful. One of the excursions we went on claimed that there was a transfer by ferry. The ferry turned out to be a small motor boat which took 10 people. You had to walk in to the sea and climb on board. This was ok for us but others could have struggled.

Suva
DAY 17
07 Nov 2027
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 6 PM
The capital city and largest metropolitan area in Fiji, Suva is a destination worth looking forward to when you’re exploring Australasia and the Pacific Ocean. Here, you’ll find an abundance of vibrant culture, sensational cuisine, and unforgettable adventures. Its importance to the region around it, though, cannot be understated; Suva is the socioeconomic centre of the South Pacific, and is slowly cementing itself as the region’s fashion capital too! So, you’ll really be able to enjoy the best of the best when visiting this fascinating city. Those who want to stay where the action is, you’ll find Suva home to lively marketplaces and several fascinating museums, alongside plenty of places to tuck into some flavourful local food. Beyond this, though, you’ll find so much more to enjoy; the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is just one of these destinations – but, perhaps, the best for those with limited time in the capital city. A luscious nature reserve just a short distance from Suva, the hiking routes here are exceptional; and, if you want, you’ll be able to swim and bird-watch here too. However you feel like spending your time, you’re in for a real treat when Suva is on your itinerary.
Things to do in Suva:
Colo-i-Suva Forest Park
Established in 1872, the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy – a network of forest conservation programmes developed in 2015 to help protect the natural landscape of Commonwealth countries – and a stunningly beautiful palace to visit when in Suva. Home to a variety of hiking trails, the opportunity to swim, and plenty of birds to spot with your binoculars, everyone can enjoy spending some time here. Among the native flora here, of which there is a lot to admire, you’ll also find some African Mahogany, which was planted here throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
Suva Fiji Temple
A rather recent addition to the architecture of Suva, having only been completed in 2000, the Suva Fiji Temple is a remarkable temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the first of its kind to be built in Fiji. Designed with traditional designs and styles in mind, it’s located at one of the highest points in the city and features a 72-foot tall spire. With subtle nods to the local culture alongside the broader symbolism utilised by the Church, it’s a sight worth seeing and stands out against much of Suva’s other architecture.
Fiji Museum
Sitting in the heart of Suva’s Thurston Gardens, stunning botanical gardens worth visiting in their own right, the Fiji Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in learning more about Fiji and Fijian culture. It’s home to the most important collection of Fijian artefacts in the world, with exhibitions showing off a variety of items of historic importance – from authentic canoes and objects related to cannibalism, to contemporary artwork and more.
Dravuni Island
DAY 18
08 Nov 2027
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 5 PM
A stunning volcanic island in Fiji, which is also part of the fascinating Great Astrolabe Reef, Dravuni Island is an idyllic paradise where unrivalled adventure and ultimate relaxation await. With a permanent population of just 125, this miniscule island doesn’t even cover an area of one square-kilometre; it really doesn’t get more remote, and more unspoilt, than this. Boasting long stretches of white-sand beaches, sparkling crystal-clear waters, and the opportunity to truly disconnect from the outside world, it can’t be overstated just how incredible this port of call is. Here, you’ll enjoy an authentic Fijian experience, and find picture-perfect views everywhere you look. It’s like stepping into a postcard, in the best possible way.
Things to do in Dravuni Island:
Dravuni Island Lookout
If you fancy stretching your legs when you arrive, a short hike up to the inland peak on Dravuni Island is always a good idea. You’ll be able to get here along a fairly easy hiking trail, and you’ll be met with fantastic views of the island when you arrive. It’s also a great spot to grab a picture of your cruise ship, which you should have no trouble seeing.
Snorkelling
If sun lounging isn’t something you want to spend the whole time doing, you can actually snorkel straight from the island’s beaches. With the island being within the Great Astrolabe Reef, which is the world’s fourth-largest coral reef, you won’t have to swim very far at all to find some stunning marine life. A rocky outcrop right by the island’s wharf is home to some of the most easily-accessible coral, making this almost too easy to enjoy.
Dravuni Island Village
If you’re looking for an authentic Fijian experience, it doesn’t get more authentic than the village on Dravuni Island. Here, you’ll be able to observe village life and learn more about the culture here from the friendly locals. You’ll also find the University of the South Pacific research station here, which is used to study the local marine life. While you will have to be mindful of the village’s customs, spending some time here is always special.
