This afternoon, we drive to Port Denarau in time to board Blue Lagoon Cruise ship M.V. Princess.  The small size of this vessel allows her to access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a larger ship – we can get so close to shore that we can tie off to a coconut tree and you can swim to the beach!  Today we head for the outer Mamanuca Islands. The first overnight anchorage is the secluded Modriki Island, the location for the Tom Hanks movie, Cast Away. After a quick swim or walk on the beach, enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and canapes as you watch the sunset on the Sky Deck.
