Weather Advisory #1

POTENTIAL FOR DISRUPTION TO OUR SERVICES

Awesome Adventures Fiji – South Sea Cruises Group
Wednesday 26 February – 6.15am

Bula,

With the current weather forecast (strong winds and occasional rain today), resort transfers to the Yasawa Islands remain scheduled to operate today however, please note the following:

  • Small boat tendering from vessel to shore (or vice versa) will be challenging in such conditions and will only be undertaken in locations where vessel Masters deem it safe to do so. Resorts will need to make their own call as to whether they can safely transfer guests via tender boat to the location which respective vessel Masters deem it safe to tender. Chosen locations may not be as near as usual to respective resorts. Additionally, and given the current weather forecast, tendering may not occur on the western side of the Yasawa Islands. In some cases, the tendering process could be suspended or abandoned with little or no notice in the interest of customer and crew safety.
  • Customers should remain aware throughout the day that if heavy seas are deemed not safe to operate then the respective vessel Master may suspend SSCG vessel services altogether with little, or no notice. Such decisions will be made in the interest of customer, crew, and vessel safety.

Customers who need to amend or change a booking with South Sea Cruises because of the latest forecast should email: reservations@ssc.com.fj or call +679 9995512.

Vinaka.

South Sea Cruises Group
