The fleet’s flagship, the MV Mystique Princess, offers a beautifully furnished saloon, outdoor lounging area, sundecks with cocktail bar and private area for those looking for a romantic getaway. The Spa offers relaxation and indulgence. The beauty therapists provide a range of services to rejuvenate and pamper you.
Our Crew’s reputation is world-renowned, ensuring that you have a totally relaxing and enjoyable holiday while on board, whether it is sunset cocktails enjoyed with traditional music as you are served hors d’oeuvres, or the three main meals with morning and afternoon teas. Our service concludes only at day’s end, when you decide to retire to watch a movie or simply relax in the comfort of your private cabin.
Our chefs provide a variety of menus. These include à la carte meals, exotic barbecues, magnificent smorgasbords and freshly made omelettes cooked to your personal taste every morning. Your taste buds will be rewarded by imaginative menus and special dining experiences. Blue Lagoon Cruise chefs create some of the finest cuisine that Fiji has to offer, using only the best and freshest local produce.
Our cruises include luxury accommodation with private ensuite facilities, all meals and cruise activities. Cruise activities include traditional Fijian entertainment, village visits, coral viewing, beach party, complimentary cocktails and a Blue Lagoon Cruise gift".
Our thoughts on Blue Lagoon Cruises
Blue Lagoon have been providing memorable cruises in Fiji successfully for over 60 years, so they are obviously doing something right! Their ships are custom-built for cruising in Fiji waters and their current ships are state-of-the-art. Blue Lagoon Cruises rate their ships as 4 Star and we agree, although we think 4 Star is a conservative rating – these are marvellous small ships cruising to wonderful places and staffed by great people. Fiji Princess carries a maximum of 68 passengers and Mystique Princess carries a maximum of 72 passengers, so you never feel lost in the crowd on these cruises.
Blue Lagoon Cruises operate a 3 day cruise and a 4 day cruise each week out to the beautiful Yasawa Islands.
The 3 day/2 nights cruise is normally operated by MV FIJI PRINCESS with check-in at Lautoka at 8.30am on Saturdays and returning to Lautoka at 4.00pm on Mondays.
The 4 day/3 nights cruise may be operated by either MV FIJI PRINCESS or MV MYSTIQUE PRINCESS with check-in at Lautoka at 1.30pm on Tuesdays, returning to Lautoka at 12.00 noon on Fridays
MV MYSTIQUE PRINCESS, a ship that wouldn’t look out of place in Monte Carlo, does 7 day/6 night cruises departing on the first Tuesday of each month either through the Yasawa Islands or, 3 times a year, on the wonderful Historical & Cultural Cruise to the northern Fiji islands of Rabi, Taveuni, Vanua Balavu in the Lau Group, Ovalau and Levuka. Experience three different South Pacific cultures – Melanesian, Polynesian and Micronesian, while exploring remote island locations, some rarely visited by commercial vessels.
