Concentrated Relaxation

Blue Lagoon Cruises

As a company with almost fifty years experience cruising the idyllic Fijian islands, Blue Lagoon Cruises offer holidays of relaxation and indulgence for romantics, adventurers or busy people seeking relief from the hectic pace of everyday life.

Holiday makers can choose to spend up to seven days island hopping in the unspoilt Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands, meeting people and making new friends on board an intimate, luxurious motor yacht.

Over the years, Blue Lagoon Cruises has developed a strong reputation as a premier cruising company to which people return again and again, with a high percentage of passengers choosing their trip through the recommendation of friends and relatives.

Another hallmark of Blue Lagoon Cruises� reputation in the South Pacific is the friendly, smiling service provided by the attentive, all-Fijian crew. Passengers often report being made to feel welcome as if they were family.

With a choice of four vessels and 3, 4 or 7 day cruises, Blue Lagoon Cruises allows for flexibility in terms of both time and budget. A cruise departs most days from Blue Lagoon�s port in Lautoka.

Blue Lagoon�s purpose built ocean going boats also enable passengers to access and experience the more secluded and remote waters of the Yasawa islands.

The company�s elegant flagship, MV Mystique Princess, is a luxuriously appointed mini cruise liner which offers Gold Club passengers the comforts and refinements of first-class cruising.

This vessel features 36 spacious air-conditioned staterooms with a king size bed, en suite private bathroom, mini bar, TV/video, audio system and sensational views from a panoramic window.

A Blue Lagoon Cruise experience begins with a warm welcome on arrival in Lautoka at the company�s elegant pre-boarding lounge. Featuring a bar, caf� and boutique, the lounge enables passengers to relax in air conditioned comfort to prepare for departure.

Once underway, much of the time is spent off the boat, exploring the unique Yasawa islands and visiting local villages. One of the most beautiful and unspoilt ports of call is Blue Lagoon Cruises� private retreat: Nanuya Lai Lai island, where passengers can snorkel, windsurf, dive or just relax on a secluded beach.

Other activities include a beach BBQ, volleyball, fishfeeding and �lovo� � a traditional Fijian feast.

While a Blue Lagoon Cruise allows for making new friends, there is also plenty of opportunity to slip away and have moments to yourself in one of the worlds truly unique locations.

One of the most memorable moments of a Blue Lagoon Cruise occurs in the late afternoon - standing on the upper deck, cocktail in hand, watching the tropical sun set slowly beyond the horizon in a blaze of colour as the surrounding islands slip peacefully by.
