Dine on delicious traditional Fijian meals and experience a private beach picnic.

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.

100% Fijian, 1000% more fun...

Snorkel or dive stunning reef locations and see a myriad of tropical fish, spectacular manta rays (seasonal) and coral reefs.

See the locations where the hit movies ‘Cast Away’ and ‘The Blue Lagoon’ were filmed.

Intimate cruising The small size of Blue Lagoon Cruises 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.

Our on-board atmosphere remains refreshingly informal and intimate.

The vessel’s decor is fresh and nautical, 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.

Blue Lagoon Cruises takes you on a journey through paradise, cruising the Mamanuca and Yasawa Island groups.

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 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 a one crew member 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 greets guests from all over the world, so you’ll get to meet travellers from all walks of life and all parts of the globe.

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.
