Robert Bear and Kartgv, I think you will both enjoy seeing this book titled 'The Sitmar Liners: Past and Present'. Fun to see the photos and read about these ships! You can scroll down to see a photo of Fairstar on page 101, followed by the original deck plan of Fairstar. And page 175 outlines the South Pacific itinerary- primarily Noumea, Suva, Lautoka, Nuku'abfa, and Port Vila. Does that sound familiar? Here's the link: http://books.google.com/books?id=PhGMcJw9THgC&pg=PA175&lpg=PA175&dq=sitmar+fairstar+pacific+isles+cruise+ports&source=bl&ots=dvNw-XK0C9&sig=ybhzYXmaL2ogceD5I1kq5ULsSbM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PHQKVMzSEIi7ogSrz4DYAg&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=sitmar%20fairstar%20pacific%20isles%20cruise%20ports&f=false.

Thank you for that link it is excellent with a lot of information. We were originally booked on the Fairsky, but it hit a reef and I think it sank, so we had to change booking and that's how we finished up on the Fairstar cruise, out of Sydney.

I have a "Welcome Gala Dinner" menu from our Fairstar cruise January 19th 1977, does anybody know how long that cruise went for and where in the Pacific?

We went on a Fairstar cruise in January 1977, and have the 'Welcome Gala Dinner" menu I just found, I had forgotten about this cruise because we also cruised the following year in January 14. My question is does anybody know how long this cruise was and where it sailed? definitely in the Pacific Islands.
