It weighs more than 3,000 tonnes, took three years to build, and it's up for sale. The largest ship ever built in Fiji will cruise the waters of the Coral Sea for the last time this week, after poor financial returns forced the vessel's owners to put it on the market. The cruise ship Reef Endeavour sets sail today, and some of those involved in its construction and crew members will be on board to bid farewell.

Presenter: Jean Edwards
Speakers: Captain Cook Cruises managing director in Fiji Semi Koroilavesau, joint managing director of Captain Cook Cruises in Australia, Jackie Haworth-Charlton
