Cruising Highlights

Experience the Romance of the South Pacific

100% Fijian, 1000% more fun...Blue Lagoon Cruises takes you on a journey through paradise, cruising the Mamanuca

and Yasawa Island groups. These idyllic lands lie off the western coast of Viti Levu, and

have some of the most beautiful and striking scenery around. You’ll see traditional Fijian

villages, swim in crystal clear lagoons and gaze out on tropical vistas you previously

thought only existed in the movies.

We’ve sought out unique experiences and more contact with the Fijians of the

Yasawas. Each and every day and evening there is an array of wonderful activities and

unique experiences.

Intimate cruisingThe small size of Blue Lagoon Cruises boutique cruise ship, Fiji Princess, is just one of

the things that makes a cruise with us so special. Measuring 179 feet (55 metres), she

can access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a larger ship – we can

get so close to shore that we can tie off to a coconut tree and you can swim to the beach.

No jostling with hundreds of other guests on board and at busy port calls - even when

full we have just 68 guests onboard.

The vessel’s modern decor is nautical and fresh, with echoes from the romantic age of

cruising gone by. You only need to unpack once and then let your floating hotel take you

from idyllic place to idyllic experience – every day somewhere and something different.

All shore excursions included*

Not only do we offer an incredible array of unique experiences every day of your cruise

BUT they are included in the price.

*Diving and Spa treatments incur an extra charge

The “Fiji Princess” experience Blue Lagoon Cruises was the founder of small ship cruising in the South Pacific. There’s

less open ocean cruising and more time ashore in superb anchorages. With over 60

years experience cruising the islands of Fiji, we know all the best places to take you.

Who better to show you their home than the Fijians themselves? We pride ourselves on

having an all Fijian crew and with one crew to every two guests ratio you just know you

will be looked after. Our crew will quickly know you by name and every way you turn

there will be a big “BULA” welcome. Blue Lagoon is sold internationally so you’ll get to

meet travellers from all walks of life and all parts of the world.

A highly experienced chef designs all our menus for us with an emphasis on the use of

fresh local produce and inclusion of traditional Fijian recipes.
