Cruise Ship Karen

For Crew and Cruisers

Polynesia

Suva, Fiji

April 14, 2018 by

A lively downtown and market, enclosed by modest businesses and one colonial grand hotel is right by the ship. Get out of the city to the nearby rainforest to find the real gem of the island in the towering leafy trees, fast paced river with cool pools perfect for swimming in with the locals.

Savusavu, Fiji

April 14, 2018 by

The natural beauty of Savusavu, with cascading waterfalls and cool pools to swim in, as well as snorkel spots and the friendly local town make it an interesting off the beaten path place to visit.

Lautoka, Fiji

April 14, 2018 by

The modest town of Lautoka has fascinating sights in the outlying area, notably the aromatic, colourful Garden of the Sleeping Giant and the healing Lautoka mud pools.

Dravuni Island, Fiji

April 13, 2018 by

This remote paradise literally is a long sweeping powder white sandy beach, with clear turquoise waters, less than 100 locals living there with about the same amount of wild pigs.

Pago Pago, American Samoa

April 11, 2018 by

Pago Pago in American Samoa combines US capitalism with island time mentality. Find local products in the small town or get out into the countryside to see the natural beauty.
