Silver Cloud: 14-Night from Lautoka - September 29, 2026

Arriving in Cobia Island, Fiji at 1:30 pm with only 4 hours hours before your 6:00 pm departure is a tight window.

Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. The island's shoreline is perfect for an easy swim or simply relaxing with your feet in the sand.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Cloud means a quicker disembarkation in Fulaga (Vulaga), Lau Group, Fiji - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Exploring Fulaga's lagoon by small boat reveals towering limestone walls, shallow turquoise pools, and quiet coves.

Your ship arrives in Neiafu, Vavau at 7:30 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.
