Silversea Luxury Cruises A Suva

The downtown centre is a hodgepodge of high-rise office buildings, Colonial houses, government edifices and parks. Suva’s northern and western mountains trap the south-eastern trade winds, thus accounting for year-round humid conditions and frequent tropical downpours. Many of Suva’s points of interest are located on Victoria Parade and its extension, the tree-shaded Queen Elizabeth Drive. On a hillside surrounded by landscaped grounds stands the Government House, its pillared entrance gate guarded by a stern, uniformed sentry. In friendly Fiji, Melanesia mixes with Polynesia, ancient India with Oceania and tradition with the modern world. The local greeting, ‘bula’, is extended warmly on city streets and country roads. Fiji is one of the South Pacific’s most hospitable countries, and a destination that has much to offer visitors.
