TUI TAI COMPLETES NEW STATEROOMS WITH PRIVATE OVERSEA VERANDAS AND ROOFTOP CABANAS


Tui Tai Accommodations Tui Tai Adventure Cruises has completed a renovation of its Starboard side Stateroom and Stardeck to create two new classes of privacy and luxury.

The Stateroom and Grand Stateroom now has its own enclosed veranda with stunning direct-to-ocean views. Guests in these Staterooms enjoy a private entry far from other cabins. These Staterooms boast enormous private cabanas on the rooftop, accessible only from within the private veranda. Private stardeck cabanas feature the best views on the ship (and therefore the best views in the world), plush daybeds, oversized cushions and a table. Relax outside, gaze at the stars (some guests even sleep outside under the stars); and enjoy two decks of total privacy, comfort and space. Guests in this stateroom have the experience of their own private yacht.

"With the new Private Oversea Verandas and Rooftop Cabanas, these Staterooms are Two-Storeys. They are the largest and most decorated accommodation of any expedition vessel in the Pacific," said owner Tige Young.

The interior of these rooms remain the same as the Stateroom and Grand Staterooms, including their own bathrooms, air conditioning, and queen-size beds. Large windows and floor to ceiling glass windows offer exquisite views. Grand Staterooms feature a personal entertainment system: plasma style LCD/TV, DVD/CD player, and iPod docking station.

Rod and Linda: "an unbelievable time on the Tui Tai"

Hi Morika,
Just wanted to let you know that Linda and I had an unbelievable time on the Tui Tai. It was all that we expected and more. We would also like to thank all the staff on the boat again, they all were extremely helpful, friendly and made our trip what it was. Also a special mention for Linga, with his knowledge and experience of the Fiji culture and his wonderful personality, you have a wining combination there.

Thank you again and we will be sure to let all of our friends know about the Tui Tai and what it can offer

Rod and Linda Fletcher

Tony Whitton, Rosies Holidays: I must say Tui Tai was a delightful surprise

Bula Tige, Bula Morika
I must say Tui Tai was a delightful surprise. Eroni and I wanted to drop you both a short email to thank you both and the amazing crew at Tui Tai for your extraordinary hospitality and the very impressive adventure experience that you showcased last weekend.
It was so good to see a young couple like yourselves redefine the tourism experience in the North and showcasing an extraordinary part of Fiji that many of us may never have seen. You can be proud of your crew, the amenities on board and the delightful part of the world that you operate in.
Please accept this email as our thanks from all the team at Rosie Holidays and we will really be trying hard to send more customers your way.
With the fuel prices and the general economic climate in our source countries, we all have to paddle a bit harder but we do hope we can grow our partnership with Tui Tai.
Vinaka Vaka Levu, Sota Tale.
Regards
Tony Whitton

Clint, Renae and I had a totally awesome holiday

Ni Sa Bula Morika and Tige,
Vinaka, Vinaka vaka levu from the Bonney family!!!
Clint, Renae and I had a totally awesome holiday, as did our friends who traveled with us.

Morika, what can I say..... WOW !!!! you have an excellent product to export to the world. I did try and put in to words my gratitude when I wrote in the guest book...2 full pages, perhaps Ben told you?
Our 5 days and nights on the Tui Tai were truly wonderful. The staff and all the crew are a credit to your company.

Everyone showed us true Fijian hospitality and made us feel so very welcome and part of the Tui Tai family. Everyone from the engine room to the boat and diving crew and of course Una, Meli and Luma made our trip complete. Ben and Kaori are perfect for their jobs and never had anything but smiles and helpful advice.
Una has the best hands for massaging everything into dreamland but more noticable is that Una has the most gentle nature and the biggest heart. Meli has an infectious sense of humour and style and Luma's cooking was delicious whatever meal he prepared. Together those three people are the best ambassadors for the Tui Tai.
We were also fortunate to be on a cruise with other like minded families and couples who laughed and talked as if we all had known each other before. The laughter and conversations also included all the staff, perhaps it was sharing the kava every night with some of the crew that made everyone feel at ease all the time. Whatever it was there was always laughter.
The small amount of Fijian dollars we had left was not appropriate and Clint and I have decided that we would like to show our appreciation and give the crew of the Tui Tai something for their hospitality and friendship. Can you tell me the names of the crew on our cruise (March 10th - 15th) and what is the best way to send them something. I was hoping to give individual cards with some cash and possibly photos... so perhaps if I did that but sent it in one envelope to your office you would be able to forward it on.
If you can get back to me with answers to my request, I will try to get some photos printed to send away.
Once again thank you, thank you, thank you for a truly fantastic, awesome, wonderful holiday that we will remember for all the right reasons.
Talk soon,
Vinaka,
Cate
