All Aboard

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji is an Australian family-owned small ship cruise company with forty-eight years of cruising experience.

Captain Trevor Haworth and his wife Geraldine first started Captain Cook Cruises in 1970 at No. 6 Jetty Circular Quay, Sydney and built the business from a single vessel to the most recognised Sydney Harbour cruise ship line operating today.

In 1996 Captain Cook Cruises expanded internationally and with a fleet of two vessels, began operating accommodated cruises around the Yasawa Islands and Northern Fiji along with dinner and day cruises in partnership with the Koroilavesau family.

Cleaning up Fiji

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji are advocates of corporate social responsibility and believe in giving back to the people of Fiji.

In November 2017 they launched a new environmental and sustainability initiative, the Ocean Ambassador Program aimed at removing rubbish pollution in remote Fiji with a focus on plastic and looking after and sustaining the Fijian environment.

The initiative cleans up waste from the remote beaches and villages visited on Captain Cook Cruises accommodated cruises, educates villagers, crew and passengers and collects valuable data about the types of waste found in the Fiji Islands.

Since the program started, crew and passengers have collected on average 70-120kg of rubbish per week from the beaches they have visited. Captain Cook Cruises Fiji has also eliminated most single use plastic items like plastic drinking straws and plastic cups onboard small ship MV Reef Endeavour and on Tivua Island.

Captain Cook Cruises Fiji is also a partner with Cure Kids Fiji, helping to overcome urgent child health challenges to achieve significant improvements for Fijian children, their families and communities throughout the country. Visit www.captaincookcruisesfiji.com
