We are very good at what we do. With 70 years experience cruising Fiji's Islands, we've figured out the winning formula for taking guests to the most beautiful places, showcasing the most rewarding activities and giving our guests the best possible experience in the untouched South Pacific!
The Blue Lagoon is an area in Fiji’s Yasawa Islands, named for its mix of aqua and turquoise waters, so stunning that you’ll want to dive right in and discover the coral reefs below. We believe that one of the best examples of the Blue Lagoon is in fact at our very own island, Nanuya Lailai. It’s simply spectacular!
Our skilled chef and his team dish up a true range of enjoyable meals made all the more pleasing by the beautiful locations in which we eat. In the morning, enjoy freshly made omelets or eggs to your liking and in the evening, enjoy barbeques, splendid buffets, and traditional Fijian meals on the menu.
We cater to most food allergies and preferences and we also offer Halal meals.
We offer transfer services from Mamanuca Island resorts to M.V. Fiji Princess. The pick up and connections for this transfer service are run by local operators exclusively for Blue Lagoon Cruises guests. The 3 and 7 night guests will join M.V. Fiji Princess at Mana or Modriki Islands and the 4 night guests will connect with South Sea Cruises transfer vessel enroute to meeting Fiji Princess in the Sacred Islands.

International cruise liners are big and getting bigger – which is great if you want to cruise with 2,500 or more people! But at Blue Lagoon Cruises we believe that part of the unique charm of the experience is the ability to become friends with all the guests and crew. By the end of the first day everyone has had a chance to meet and get to know each other and the crew know you by name! Many guests stay in touch with each other and the crew and meet up time and again on subsequent Blue Lagoon Cruises. The small size of Fiji Princess also means we can get to beaches and bays that bigger cruise liners cannot access.
We have installed filtered water stations throughout the vessel and all guests are provided with a reusable metal drink bottle on arrival as we are a single use plastic free vessel.
Pre & post-cruise coach transfers are complimentary on our cruise departure & arrival days (Friday and Monday). These transfers are operated by a third-party coach company and are available on a complimentary basis between:
Nadi International Airport and Port Denarau (and return)
Your Nadi/Denarau or Wailoaloa hotel and Port Denarau (and return)
Private transfers or transfers from other areas are available at an additional charge.
Requests for a pre / post-cruise transfers need to be booked directly with Blue Lagoon Cruises reservations and your flight arrival / departure details must be provided for all Airport transfers. Your pickup time will be confirmed at time of booking.
For airport arrivals, the driver will be holding the guests name card for meet & greet in the arrivals area at Nadi International Airport once you have left the baggage hall.

When completing your pre-cruise registration via the App we would request that you include information about any allergies so our onboard chefs are aware prior to your cruise departure from the mainland.
M.V. Fiji Princess and South Sea Cruises vessels are not wheelchair accessible, and the islands visited during the cruise do not have jetties. This requires our guests to disembark / embark, by transferring from the ship to a smaller tender vessel and then disembarking from the tender boat directly on to the beach. This process can be challenging for those with mobility impairments and while getting in and out of the tender boats can require a certain degree of mobility, our crew will tailor shore landings to suit conditions – guests may of course choose to stay on board if they would prefer to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Guests do need to be mobile enough to move around the ship easily including getting up and down relatively steep and narrow flights of stairs to access the different areas of the ship as there are no elevators available onboard. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage guests with specific accessibility needs to contact us for further information or alternative options.

Fijian's are often referred to as the friendliest people in the world. We feel it's important for our guests to experience the authentic, genuine friendliness and helpfulness of the Fijian people. Therefore, we staff Fiji Princess with only Fijian crew, from the Captain to the stewards.
Every way you turn you'll be greeted with a big 'Bula' and ear-to-ear grin and you'll find yourself instantly welcomed into the 'family'.

There is no need to bring bulky beach towels as these are provided and changed each day. Bed linen, towels and toiletries are all provided and there is the ability on-board to purchase a small selection of essential purchases.
Many of our guests fall in love with the friendly nature of Fijian's and are especially taken with the wide-eyed curiosity of the children. The villagers do not expect gifts from our guests, but many of our guests ask us what items they can bring to give away to village children. School supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, drawing/colouring books, notepads and the like) are always most welcome as are sports items such as rugby and soccer balls. Items of clothing are also well received. We do not suggest school learning books as the importation of relevant educational material is subject to Ministry of Education approval.
We do have a large selection of snorkels, masks, and flippers on board for you to use however if you feel more comfortable bringing your own please feel free to do so. Should you choose to use our onboard equipment we will also have new mouthpieces available for purchase (note all our equipment is well sanitised prior to being given to you to use for the duration of your cruise).

It's not often you'll have bad weather in Fiji! But if the wind or sea conditions make cruising uncomfortable, we will simply adjust our cruise route to ensure that we stay on the sheltered side of the island chain. If conditions are not suitable for sailing, we will not operate the cruise in the interest of guest safety.
Fiji has a very warm, tropical climate all year around. The rainy season is from November to April, but don’t let this 'dampen' your spirits, as the wet season is usually made up of plenty of sunshine, with only one or two sudden down-pours a day, meaning you can still enjoy your beach holiday!
