The Deposit Protection Plan is a scheme that allows guests to book confidently and transfer their deposit payment towards any future Blue Lagoon Cruises in the event they are unable to travel on the cruise they originally booked. Deposit protection is entirely optional, can be invoked for any reason by the guest, and requires the per person additional fee to be purchased (for each person in the booking) at the original time of booking.

  1. Deposit Protection is only available at the time of booking and is payable together with the deposit payment towards the cruise. It cannot be added subsequently after the cruise deposit (or full payment) has been paid

4.       Right to cancel or change operations

  • All Cruises are subject to sea and weather conditions, particularly in the interest of passenger and crew safety - if weather and sea conditions become unfavourable Blue Lagoon Cruises reserves the right to delay or cancel departures and/or amend itineraries for their comfort and safety as opposed to completing the scheduled service.
  • Blue Lagoon Cruises reserves the right to cancel departures, arrange alternative transport, and/or vary schedules, itineraries, and services if necessary.

 

5.       Liability

Where another company or persons operate the tour, activity, or excursion, diving, accommodation, or shore transfers Blue Lagoon Cruises is only acting as a Sales Agent. Responsibility for the operation and liability for any mishap lies with those operators solely and not with Blue Lagoon Cruises.
 

6.       Force Majeure

Blue Lagoon Cruises shall not be liable or responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations specified herein arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts of war or terrorism, strikes, riots, accidents, civil or military disturbances, natural catastrophes or acts of God, virus outbreaks, pandemics, power or any other mechanical failures, computer virus, governmental action, or communications disruption.

It is the responsibility of all guests travelling with Blue Lagoon Cruises to check and adhere to Fiji's current health and visa requirements to enter the country.
 

8.       Travel Insurance

There are no medical facilities in the Yasawa Islands so if any medical problem arises you will need to return to Nadi. If you develop a serious medical problem, you will most likely want to leave Fiji for Australia, New Zealand, or home. There is also a higher degree of risk in public areas, on local vessels, etc. Sea conditions and sometimes cyclones can prevent travel on the booked dates as well.  It is, therefore, an essential condition of travelling with Blue Lagoon Cruises that you have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of any emergency medical treatment or accident and to protect your holiday payments in the event of a cancellation that may occur for any reason whatsoever including that of weather or any other reason beyond the control of Blue Lagoon Cruises.  

 

9.       Weather

Cruise itineraries are subject to wind, tide, and weather conditions and are operated at the sole discretion of Blue Lagoon Cruises in the interests of the safety and welfare of the guests, vessel, and crew.

Arrival and departure times at ports and various places of call are provided as a guide only and in this regard, no warranty, condition, or guarantee, express or implied, is given or intended.  Should any particular shore excursion not be available, no matter what the reason, the crew will organise a substitute, but no refund or financial recompense will be due.

 

10.    Amendment Terms

Any guest who chooses to make a new booking with Blue Lagoon Cruises will be able to change their cruise departure date / postpone their cruise without incurring any amendment fees regardless of the fare type being booked as long as the new cruise date is for the same or longer duration and the same or higher cabin grade and within the same contract season/fare validity as the original booking. A reduction in cruise duration and /or cabin grade may be treated as a cancellation and new booking - please contact the Blue Lagoon Cruises reservations team for more information. 

  • Once dates are selected you can make unlimited changes to the date of travel and one (1) change to the guest's name(s), provided the changes are made with Blue Lagoon Cruises prior to 60 days before travel as per the above fare rules.
  • Any change of date or changes to a guest name(s) are subject to confirmation and must be made in writing to cruisecentre@bluelagooncruises.com quoting the original booking reference and guest name(s) provided at the time of booking.
     

11.    Cancellation Terms

All cancellations must be in writing to Blue Lagoon Cruises, and the timing shall be based on the day of receipt of such notification by Blue Lagoon Cruises. Note a 7-day cooling off period applies from the date the booking is received to our cancellation terms being applied (e.g. booking will be held for 7 days before any cancellation fees are charged).

  1. affecting your ability to travel to join the ship for your booked departure and you inform us of this development or
  2. renders Blue Lagoon Cruises unable to operate our voyage and we inform you of this development

Then we will provide you with a 100% ‘cruise credit’ to the full amount of the net fare received by Blue Lagoon Cruises which you can apply to a subsequent departure of your choice and date.
