Imagine waking every morning surrounded by sparkling blue oceans, islands fringed with gently waving palms and empty, unspoilt beaches of pure white sand. Welcome to boutique cruising in the idyllic South Seas.
Relax into an easy rhythm on board your modern, luxury vessel, soak up the sun, collect seashells on a deserted beach, swim or snorkel in the pristine waters or join a trip to a remote Fijian village and experience true South Seas hospitality. The choice is yours on a Blue Lagoon Fiji Cruise! With over 50 years of experience cruising the islands of Fiji, Blue Lagoon will give you an unforgettable South Seas cruising experience.
Blue Lagoon Cruises was originally established in the 1950's, by Captain Trevor Withers, a New Zealand lawyer, and named after the famous 'Blue Lagoon' film starring Jean Simmonds and Lloyd Bridges, which was filmed in the Yasawa Islands. The Company had a critical role in the remake of the movie starring Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins, as they literally transported and accommodated the production company during the filming, often assisting in the choice of locations using their vast, collective experience of the Yasawa Islands.
A Blue Lagoon Cruise will be a very carefree and relaxing experience, where you can experience the stunning beauty and pristine waters of Fiji's many islands. Located 40km north-west from Nadi, the Yasawa Islands are renowned for their tranquil lagoons and picturesque beaches. The multitude of different islands offer a daily changing vista, with a range of coral cays, lagoons, turquoise seas, pure white beaches and spectacular bays as your cruise ship stops at a different one each day. The islands stretch for almost 90 km and their remoteness, about 4 hours sailing from the mainland, ensures they retain their tranquility and traditional charm, and where local villages are almost exactly the way they have been for hundreds of years
A cruise with Blue Lagoon will take you deep into the turquoise Pacific South Seas, sailing to unspoilt tropical islands and sheltered lagoons, where you can watch as the waves break over distant reefs and the sun sinks softly beyond the horizon. You can swim, dive or snorkel in the clear blue waters, travel ashore and be accepted as an honoured guest into the ancient Fijian culture, visit traditional villages and markets, share in the Yaqona Ceremony, sample an island feast set on a breathtakingly beautiful beach or simply laze the days away doing nothing at all.
A variety of itineraries allow island explorations, beach activities, visits to remote Fijian villages and swimming and snorkelling in some of the most pristine waters in the South Pacific. Included in every cruise is a visit to their own privately-owned island, Nanuya Lailai, with deserted, pristine beaches, lush tropical forests and swaying palm trees. Here you enjoy a beach barbecue lunch, laze away the afternoon swimming snorkeling, windsurfing, bushwalking or just relaxing on the soft sand, then partake in a traditional island 'Majiti' feast in the evening followed by an after dinner beach party. A true tropical island paradise!
Each cruise is fully inclusive, with all your meals included in the cruise cost. Most drinks are available for purchase though some meals or light snacks may include some complimentary drinks, such as the champagne and hors d'oeurves served on your first night at sunset! The on-board, award-winning chefs create varied menus using fresh local produce and seafood. Laid back breakfasts, beach barbecue lunches, Fijiian style buffets and traditional 'Lovo' Feasts, dining on a Blue Lagoon cruise caters for all palates and is an experience in itself. The wine list available is also extensive, with many top vintages from Australia and New Zealand.
Your ship, the MV Fiji Princess, is a 4-star, 60-metre catamaran. She is 197ft (60m) long and 44ft (15m) wide with a weight of 1228 tonnes and carries up to 68 passengers in 34 air-conditioned cabins on 3 decks - the lower Hibiscus Deck, and the middle and upper Orchid decks. Facilities include a formal entry foyer, 80 seat dining saloon, Sky Deck Cocktail Bar, upper deck Lounge Bar, onboard beauty spa, small boutique, 4 wrap-around sun deck areas with outdoor Fijian mahogany furniture, small swimming pool and guest laundry. The whole ship has just gone through a FJ$1.2m refurbishment (April 2014) and everything is shiny and new! The public areas have all been redecorated and have new furniture and furnishings, as have the cabins, which now have a more modern feel, with cream and natural wood decor with splashes of deep blue and gold giving a very elegant look.
The upper Orchid Deck has 12 cabins with double or twin beds and is approximately 13 sqm (142 sqft) in size. The middle Orchid deck includes a lounge bar with DJ Station, wide screen TV and has 16 cabins approximately 13 sqm (142 sqft) in size with double or twin beds and 4 with triple and double/single bed configurations.

A very small number of cabins also have a daybed. From April 2014, the Orchid Cabins will also have a new range of complimentary cabin amenities, such as a welcome fruit platter, Nespresso pod coffee machine, daily stocked mini bar including wine, beer and bottled water and a Pure Fiji sun care pack. All cabins are above the waterline and feature large windows to make the most of the views.

Further afield it operates 5 times a week to Hong Kong, twice a week to Tokyo and 3 times a week to Singapore They also provide regular services to the neighbouring island nations of Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, Kiribati, Tuvulu and the Solomon Islands.
Korean Air operate three flights a week between Seoul and Nadi. On the southbound flights from Seoul a direct connection can be made off Korean Air's daily London-Seoul flight. However, on the return flight, a night stop will be required in Seoul, as the flight timings do not permit a same day connection.
Air New Zealand operates daily to/from Auckland with connections to its double-daily flights to London, either via Los Angeles or Hong Kong. Air New Zealand also operates a codeshare arrangement with Air Pacific providing seats on their non-stop Nadi-Los Angeles flights.
Virgin Australia operate a regular service from/to Sydney, with connections to many other Australian cities.
Air Calin operate twice a week between Noumea and Nadi.
Air Niugini operate a twice a week service from and to Port Moresby via Honiara to Nadi.
Fiji Link, Fiji Airways new domestic airline subsidiary, operates an extensive domestic flight network covering all the countries main islands, with at least a daily service. The main northern islands receive at least two flights a day and some times more, the less populated islands get a restricted service, so sometimes a night stop in Nadi or Suva may be required when connecting between some of the less popular islands.
Pacific Island Air operate various transfer routings from Nadi and Denerau to many of the resorts in the Mamanucas, Yasawas, and some Coral Coast resorts, by helicopter and by seaplane. Helicopter transfers to the islands can be arranged from Nadi Airport or from Denerau Island where as the seaplanes depart from the airport only. They can also arrange sightseeing flights and activity excursions. Due to the small size of these aircraft, Pacific Island Air require an approximate weight of each passenger booked, so they can work out the trim of the aircraft (weight and balance for operational requirements). Also, luggage weight is restricted on transfer flights to 20kg per person for seaplane and fixed wing aircraft, and 15kg pp for helicopter flights. No allowance for infants. Excess baggage rates are FJD10 (approx £3.60) per kg.
A number of the outer island Resorts operate their own dedicated daily flights, to transfer their clients from Nadi to the resort and back, using either fixed wing commuter aircraft, seaplanes or helicopters. Further details of these will be given at the time we provide our quotation.
