Overview

The cruise takes in the majestic southern Yasawa Islands and also spends time at the strikingly beautiful Modriki and Sacred Islands. It’s not just nature that will have you captivated on this cruise; you’ll get to know and love Fijian culture! Flexible Cruising To ensure you have the best possible cruise experience, we use 'flexible cruising'. What this means is that we're prepared to alter our itineraries, either when necessary, or when some exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking part in a local Yasawa Village, which you really should see, then we will alter our cruise route to take you there. Or, if we think that that our destined anchorage for the night is not going to be as sheltered as a bay on the other side of the island, we'll up-anchor and move. Cruising through a region of coral lagoons and isolated island anchorages is weather dependent and so, at times, our itineraries may need to be altered. However we'll always endeavor to ensure all of the highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.

Cruise Itinerary

Cruise to the sandy beaches of Modriki Island, as featured in the Tom Hanks film Cast Away. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and canapés prior to tonight’s Captain’s Welcome Dinner. Your evening will include entertainment provided by our friendly and talented singing, dancing, guitar-playing crew.


Before breakfast, plunge into Modriki’s crystal-clear lagoon or wander along its white sandy beach. Spend your morning swimming with reef sharks (weather permitting). Then after lunch, tie your sulu and visit the chiefly village of Soso. Dinner is a traditional Thali dinner, with Bollywood dancing and movies to follow.


Sunday is all about tradition. Attend a village church service, then head back to the boat for a Sunday roast lunch. Learn to cook traditional Fijian recipes and enjoy a buffet dinner of Fijian cuisine along with a choice of European dishes before a round of Fijian bingo!


Today you’ll have time for an early-morning snorkel, swim or kayak trip. During breakfast we’ll cruise to the Sacred Islands where, after a buffet lunch, you’ll be farewelled by the crew and transferred back to Port Denarau on our private high-speed catamaran. Farewell from Blue Lagoon Cruises.


The actual route sailed is weather-dependant and will be determined by the Captain to ensure the best cruise experience for you.


Fiji Princess

Vessel Type: Motor Yacht Length: 55m Passenger Capacity: 68 passengers Built: 1998 - Refurbished 2014 The M.V. Fiji Princess will be your home away from home for the duration of your cruise, except you’ll wake up in a different stunning location each morning. With nearly 70 years' experience cruising the islands of Fiji, we know all the best places to take you. Who better to show you their home than the Fijians themselves. We pride ourselves on having an all-Fijian crew and with a high crew member-to-guest ratio, you just know you will be looked after. Our crew will quickly know you by name and every way you turn there will be a big ‘BULA’ welcome. Small enough to tie off to a coconut tree… The small size of Fiji Princess is just one of the things that makes a cruise with us so special. Accommodating up to 68 passengers and measuring only 179 feet (55 metres) in length, we can access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a large ship. We can get so close to shore, that we can tie off to a coconut tree and you can swim to the beach!  Facilities An open-air dining room with views out over the sea to the rear of the vessel Shaded sky deck bar and saloon bar Sun loungers on the large upper sun deck A small range of souvenir items for purchase Splash pool A library of reading material and games In room movies available on demand Glass bottom coral viewing boat Kayaks Stand-up paddle boards Free WiFi (available where coverage allows) Self service guest laundry Food Onboard
