01 October 2026

Blue Lagoon Cruises wishes to inform our valued partners that our current mandatory fuel surcharge will remain in place for October at the same level as those set for August & September 2026
The price of diesel in Fiji as of the 1st of October 2026 is now some 50% higher than before the Middle East supply issues impacted fuel prices globally. The continuation of high fuel prices cannot be absorbed within our current rates. 

Importantly for those who aren’t already aware, Fiji’s fuel prices are set by the Fijian Competition & Consumer Commission (FCCC) and is only ever amended on the first day of each month (the most recent amendment being effective from the 1st of October 2026). The price of fuel in Fiji is based on a range of factors globally but most noticeably by movement in the Means of Platts Singapore (MOPS) gasoil market, the availability of fuel from foreign suppliers, international freight rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fiji’s fuel prices are always 1-2 months behind fuel prices in other global markets such as Australia, New Zealand and North America, and hence cannot be compared with countries who adjust their fuel prices on an almost daily basis. 

What are we charging & how will this be paid?
The mandatory fuel surcharge applicable will remain to FJ$20.00 per cabin per night (not per person) and will be charged directly to the guests’ cabins to be paid onboard at the conclusion of their cruise (along with any other incidentals or items enjoyed during their cruise).  We’d like to thank our guests for their understanding of our need to recover a small percentage of the increase in operating costs.

Terms & Conditions are noted as follows:
“While we try our utmost not to increase our prices, this is sometimes outside our control. On that basis, we reserve the right to amend our prices although amendments should occur only in the instance of increases in our costs to deliver the cruise such as but not limited to, fuel costs, government taxes and charges, exchange rate fluctuations, and ground costs beyond the control of Blue Lagoon Cruises and which are deemed material to operations.”
