In 2025 we celebrate 75 years of cruising the tropical waters of the South Pacific, Blue Lagoon Cruises specialises in 3, 4, and 7-night itineraries through Fiji’s spectacular Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. Sail to uninhabited tropical islands, laze on golden beaches, and snorkel in crystal-clear blue waters to truly experience paradise.
The MV. Fiji Princess accommodates a maximum of 64 passengers (32 cabins) and the MV. Yasawa Princess II (sailing from mid April 2026) has a maximum of 44 passengers (22 cabins), allowing for a personal and friendly atmosphere that is complemented by our enthusiastic all-Fijian crew.
The small size of our ships means they can access bays and islands that would be difficult to reach in a larger ship. A Blue Lagoon Cruises cruise is an ideal way to experience the hidden wonders of Fiji that you previously thought only existed in the movies.
Each day and evening there is an array of wonderful activities and memorable cultural encounters with the local Fijian people to enjoy.

Vinaka Fiji is a charitable organisation based in Fiji’s Yasawa Islands that aims to improve the provision of basic needs and facilities within the various Yasawa Island villages.
It does this by providing direct aid and also acting as a facilitator to bring together those who can help the landowners and residents of the Yasawa Islands.
Having worked closely with the villagers of the Yasawa Islands for more than ten years, we believe in creating a sustainable future for their people whilst still maintaining their culture and relaxed way of life. Vinaka Fiji works with the people of the Yasawas, alongside the Fijian
government, to help plan and implement various projects.
Vinaka Fiji receives funding through its major sponsors but we are also heavily reliant on monetary donations from kind-hearted individuals, organisations and groups. The donations are used to facilitate the Vinaka Fiji mission and purchase some of the many materials and resources required to make our projects possible.
