How to stay fit and active on a Fijian cruise

Table Of Contents

Maintaining fitness while on vacation is essential for overall well-being and enjoyment. A cruise in Fiji offers a unique blend of tranquillity, adventure and relaxation, making it an ideal setting for staying active.

The breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture provide numerous opportunities to engage in physical activities that are both fun and stimulating. From exploring lush islands to participating in onboard fitness programs, there are countless ways to keep moving and stay healthy.

Embracing these activities enhances the cruise experience and ensures that you return home feeling refreshed and revitalised. Discover how to make the most of your Fijian cruise by incorporating fitness and wellness into your journey. Let's dive in!

Guide to staying fit and active

Exploring the islands.

Guided hiking tours

Fiji's lush landscapes are a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Guided hiking tours offer an excellent way to explore the islands' natural beauty while staying active. Trails range from gentle walks through tropical forests to more challenging climbs that reward with panoramic views.

These hiking tours are led by knowledgeable guides who offer insights about the local flora, fauna, and history, making the experience both physically rewarding and educational.

Snorkelling and diving adventures

The crystal-clear waters surrounding Fiji teem with vibrant marine life, making snorkelling and diving top activities for cruise passengers. These underwater adventures provide a full-body workout while exploring stunning coral reefs and encountering colourful fish, turtles, and even dolphins. Many cruises offer equipment and guided excursions, ensuring a safe and memorable cruise experience for all skill levels.

Kayaking through serene waters

Kayaking is another fantastic way to stay fit while enjoying Fiji's scenic beauty. Paddling through calm lagoons and along pristine coastlines provides a great upper-body workout and a unique perspective of the islands.

Whether a guided tour or a solo paddle, kayaking offers a peaceful and refreshing way to explore hidden coves, mangroves, and secluded beaches. Onboard Caledonian Sky we have glass-bottom kayaks for guests who don't wish to get wet but want to see what the underwater world of Fiji has to offer!

Onboard fitness activities

Gym facilities 

Most modern cruise ships have state-of-the-art gym facilities, providing various exercise equipment to cater to all fitness levels. Guests can use treadmills, stationary bikes, free weights, and resistance machines.

Dance and aerobics sessions

Dance and aerobics sessions are a perfect way for those who prefer a more dynamic and social way to stay fit. Onboard Caledonian Sky we may offer dance classes, Pilates, or yoga sessions led by our expedition crew for a fun-fitness morning that will warm you up for the day.

Additionally, many cruises offer a range of workout classes such as Pilates, spinning, and strength training. These workout classes are led by professional trainers who can help tailor routines to individual fitness goals, ensuring an effective and enjoyable workout.

Aqua fitness

Engage in the health-boosting aqua fitness sessions, including aqua aerobics and water yoga. These refreshing activities, combined with ocean swimming, are supervised by our expedition crew. The water's resistance amplifies the workout, making it an effective way to tone muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and protect your joints.

Wellness and relaxation

Yoga and meditation sessions

Yoga and meditation are one way to maintain a balanced mind and body, especially while travelling. We occasionally offer daily yoga sessions, often held on deck with stunning ocean views. These yoga and meditation classes cater to all levels, ranging from beginners to advanced practitioners, and focus on flexibility, strength, and mental clarity.

Meditation sessions provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle, allowing guests to centre themselves and embrace a state of calm. Practising yoga and meditation onboard promotes overall wellness and enhances the cruise experience.

Spa treatments to rejuvenate the body

After a day of physical activities, indulging in spa treatments is a perfect way to relax and rejuvenate. Visit our luxurious spas offering various services, including massages, facials, and body wraps.

These treatments help soothe sore muscles, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. The serene atmosphere of the spa provides a sanctuary where guests can unwind and revitalise their bodies, ensuring they feel refreshed and ready for the next adventure.

Healthy dining options available onboard

Maintaining a healthy diet is vital for staying fit and active. Captain Cook Cruises offer numerous dining options that cater to health-conscious guests. Fresh, locally sourced Fijian ingredients are often used to create nutritious meals that are satisfying and delicious. Chat to our team about special menus with low-calorie, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.

Juice bars and smoothie stations are also available for those looking to boost their nutrient intake. By choosing healthy dining options, guests can enjoy the culinary delights of a Fijian cruise without compromising their fitness goals.

Engaging with local culture

Participating in traditional Fijian dance

Engaging with local culture through traditional Fijian dance is a fantastic way to stay active and immersed in the local customs. Captain Cook Cruises offers onboard and onshore opportunities to learn and participate in dances such as the Meke, which combines storytelling with movement. These dance sessions provide a unique cultural experience while offering a fun and energetic workout that enhances flexibility and coordination.

Learning about local sports and games

Fiji has a rich tradition of sports and games that are both entertaining and physically engaging. Guests can join local sports activities such as rugby, a beloved sport in Fiji, or try their hand at traditional games like beach volleyball and cricket. These activities provide an excellent workout and offer a chance to interact with Fijian locals and fellow travellers, creating a unique sense of community and cultural exchange.

Joining cultural tours that include physical activities

Cultural tours incorporating physical activities are an excellent way to explore Fiji's heritage while staying active. Guided tours generally include visits to historical sites, traditional villages, natural landmarks, and hiking, walking, and paddling activities.

These guided cultural tours offer an immersive experience combining physical exercise and cultural education. Guests can gain deeper insights into Fijian life and traditions while staying fit.

Tips for staying motivated

Setting personal fitness goals

Setting personal fitness goals is essential for staying motivated on a Fijian cruise. Whether aiming to maintain a daily step count, complete a certain number of workout sessions, or try new activities, having clear objectives helps maintain focus.

These goals can be tailored to individual fitness levels and interests, ensuring they are both challenging and achievable. Tracking progress and celebrating milestones can also provide a sense of accomplishment and encouragement to keep going.

Incorporating fitness into daily routines

Incorporating fitness into daily routines on a cruise is easier than it may seem. Simple actions such as climbing the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or jogging on the deck, and participating in organised activities can make a significant difference.

Scheduling time for exercise each day, whether a morning yoga session or an afternoon swim, ensures that fitness remains a priority without feeling like a chore. This approach helps blend physical activity seamlessly into the vacation experience.

Balancing relaxation with activity

Balancing relaxation with activity is crucial for a well-rounded cruise experience. It's essential to enjoy the leisure and pampering a cruise offers while also making time for physical exercise.

Alternating between periods of relaxation, such as relishing in a spa treatment, and engaging in active pursuits like hiking or dance classes helps maintain energy levels and overall well-being. This balance ensures that guests can fully enjoy their time onboard and onshore, returning home refreshed and revitalised.

Stay healthy while you cruise in Fiji

Staying fit and active on a Fijian cruise enhances the overall vacation experience, providing both physical and mental benefits. There are numerous means to maintain a healthy lifestyle, from exploring the islands through hiking and kayaking to participating in onboard fitness activities and engaging with local culture.

Embrace the unique opportunities available and make the most of your time in Fiji by incorporating wellness into your journey.

Island Hopping In Fiji’s Yasawa Islands

This post first appeared on Ordinary Traveler: How to Island Hop Fiji's Yasawa Islands

The best way to visit the Yasawa Islands in Fiji is onboard a small cruise ship. Here's everything you need to know to plan your trip!

The Yasawa Islands are a chain of islands in Fiji, located off the northwest coast of Viti Levu. The Yasawas are known for their dramatic peaks and pristine beaches. The clear waters make for excellent snorkeling and diving, and there are many caves and reefs to explore.

In fact, the Islands' natural exotic beauty has earned them spots on Hollywood movie sets and is a popular choice for reality shows!

The Yasawas are also home to some of Fiji's most exclusive resorts. But, in my opinion, there's no better way to see the islands than by taking a cruise.

With a cruise, you can see multiple islands in one trip, and stop to explore each one at your own pace. It can be challenging to travel between islands, so a cruise is a sure way to see everything and make the most of your time on the island.

Traveling in the Yasawa Islands

The Yasawas are a popular tourist destination for backpackers and cruise ship passengers. The largest island is Nacula Island, which is where the majority of the population lives.

The Yasawa Islands were first settled by the Melanesian people some 3,000 years ago. European contact was made in 1789 by Captain William Bligh. The islands were later visited by Christian missionaries who arrived in 1835.

Tourism began to develop on the islands in the late 1960s when a resort was opened on Yanuca Island. Ever since then, the Islands continue to grow in popularity among travelers.

English is the official language and is widely spoken in Fiji, which is a great relief for travelers and makes it easy to get around.

Fijians are also known to be some of the most friendly and hospitable people in the world (and I found this to be very true!).

My Experience on Captain Cook Cruises

I took a 4-night cruise with Captain Cook Cruises Fiji during my visit to the Yasawa Islands. The ship was modern and comfortable, and the staff was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I really enjoyed every minute of this cruise.

The cruise is known for its stops across different islands, where you can go ashore and explore. You can also participate in activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking. The cruise also included meals and entertainment onboard.

I had an amazing time on my Captain Cook Cruise! I got to explore so many remote northern islands and meet local communities that I would never have been able to visit on my own.

But let's jump into some details.

Yasawa Islands Itinerary

On the first day, we were welcomed to Tivua island, which is Captain Cook Cruises' private coral reef island.

We were able to snorkel with baby sharks in crystal-clear water right off the beach, and there was also a volleyball court, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. In the evening, we joined the Captain and his crew for the Gala Captain's Dinner.

An important tip for the first day, make sure to charge all of your electronics before you board the ship. I arrived from an overnight flight from LAX and planned to charge my camera and drone batteries as soon as I got to my room, but that wasn’t enough time before we left on our first stop.

On the second day, we started with a swim and snorkel in an idyllic bay at Brothers Island. Then, they offered a gourmet buffet lunch as we journeyed to Naviti Island. I loved looking over at the aquamarine waters along the white sandy beaches here. The scenery here is unmatched.

On the evening of the second day, we joined the festivities and entertainment of a Fijian Village at Gunu. It was an experience I'll never forget.

I was able to try traditional Fijian foods, participate in their dances and ceremonies, and learn about their culture and way of life. I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity to connect with people from another culture and learn more about the world.

Some important notes on preparing to visit the villages

• Do not wear a hat in a village and do not touch anyone’s head as this is considered a sign of disrespect to the locals
• It is customary to take off your shoes when entering a home
• Dress modestly when visiting a village (covered shoulders and a sulu to cover your legs)

I woke up early on the third day of the cruise and was excited to explore and swim in the beautiful Sawa-i-lau lagoon!  This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Later in the day, we visited a local school on Yasawa Island. It was another memorable interaction with local culture and it was very interesting to see how the children here learn and play. The view from the school's peak was stunning. Back on board, we had dinner and they planned an evening of crab racing!

On the fourth day, the last full day of the cruise, we sailed to Drawaqa Island for some amazing snorkeling. It was a really beautiful last swim through the reefs. If you're lucky, you might even get to swim with some Manta Rays.

Later in the evening, we had the Captain Cook Cruises Music Quiz. By this time, everyone on the cruise feels like an old friend. I really appreciated the social atmosphere on the cruise -- especially since I was traveling solo. This is not always my experience on cruises, so it was a welcome surprise.

I found the other travelers to be very outgoing and friendly and there were other solo travelers on the ship, so we joined in on many activities throughout the trip.

The last day of the cruise was definitely bittersweet. I woke up early and enjoyed the view from my balcony one last time. After breakfast, I said goodbye to my new friends and headed to the pool deck. The crew sang their traditional Fijian song and I couldn't help but feel emotional. It was a wonderful trip and I'm so glad I was able to experience it!

How to Get to Captain Cook Cruises

The Yasawa Islands are located in the northwest of Fiji, and getting there is pretty easy from the international airport.

First, you'll need to fly into Nadi International Airport. Nadi Airport is the primary international airport for Fiji and a hub for regional travel throughout the South Pacific islands, so you should have no issues booking a flight.

All of the boats and small ships that travel to the Yasawas leave from Port Denarau, which is a 25-30 minute drive from Nadi airport. I recommend staying at a hotel on Denarau Island before you depart for the Yasawas so you can sleep off your jet lag and be refreshed for your island adventure.

I stayed at The Radisson Blu Resort Fiji and absolutely loved everything about it. The grounds are stunning, they have an adults-only pool area, nanny service, several delicious restaurants, and the staff is amazing. I also had the best massage of my life at their spa!

Once you're on the ship, sit back and relax -- you're in for a beautiful journey.

Helpful Tips

• The cruise includes all the amenities of a larger cruise liner such as buffets and 3-course meals, massage services, use of snorkeling equipment, cocktail bar, jacuzzi, gym and swimming pool.
• Massage prices are super reasonable on the cruise!
• WiFi is spotty so do your research before you board. Also, my data with T-mobile showed I had full bars but I wasn’t getting anything to load on my phone. So better to think of this as an "unplugged" trip.
• If you're like me and tend to eat smaller meals often, be sure to bring snacks with you. I needed the extra snacks since we were active so much of the time.
• Denominations for the Fiji dollar are as follows: $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes. Coins include 5c, 10c, 20c, 50 c, F$1.00, and F2.00.
• Foreign currencies and travelers' checks can be exchanged in commercial banks, large hotels and resorts, and foreign currency bureaus.
• Credit cards are widely accepted as well.
• ATMs that dispense local currency are easily found in major towns and cities.

Electricity

• The electrical current in Fiji is 240 volts AC 50 Hz. Fiji has three-pin power outlets identical to Australia and New Zealand. 

Pros and Cons of Cruising to the Yasawa Islands

Overall, cruising to the Yasawa Islands is a truly unique and wonderful experience. The islands are breathtakingly beautiful, the people are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the activities are a lot of fun.
