The cruise takes in the majestic Yasawa Islands and 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 the traditional Fijian culture! 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. if some special event taking part in a local Village, which you really should see, then we will alter our cruise route to take you there. If we think 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. We'll always endeavor to ensure all highlights of each cruise are enjoyed by our guests.

We had a 3 night cruise wish we could have stayed longer. Staff were all so attentive and fun to be around . Food was fantastic breakfast lunch and dinner all so convenient while looking at stunning views of the islands and a blue blue ocean. Afternoon drinks on the beach were a treat all served up by our favourite barman Leslie . Nothing was too much for him . I’ll definitely be returning for longer this time . Thank you Blue Lagoon Cruising .
It was a wonderful experience on this beautiful ship with the great crew❤️
The cruise was excellent and with only 44 passengers lots of room to get around and get to know each other. The crew were so obliging and friendly. The rooms and food also very good.
It’s a must do experience if you want a stress free way to see some of the most iconic places in Fiji while you are pampered on a new ship by an incredible attentive and friendly crew. The small number of guests on board allows you to experience a luxurious cruise trip
Bula Vinaka carlaf956, Vinaka vakalevu for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your 3-night Explorer Cruise was such a memorable and relaxing experience. It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed exploring some of Fiji’s most iconic destinations while being looked after by our attentive and friendly crew. We’re also pleased that the intimate atmosphere on board made your cruise feel even more special and luxurious. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back on board for another unforgettable Blue Lagoon Cruises adventure. Warm Regards!
Sweet boat, very friendly staff, excellent food, great captain (Malichi)
We got a complimentary pick up from our Denarau Hotel. Check in was a bit frenetic but was fine. Our suitcase was then transferred to the ship directly while we had a day at the Malamala Beach Club (would recommend upgrading to a beach cabana with butler service if you want some quiet ) We were then awaiting the tender transfer to the ship that happened later than we expected (ie Fijian time) We were probably on the ship at 5 and went to our cabin to change for the Captain's dinner, thinking we had missed the quick trip to Castaway Island. This was then announced but we had already changed into non- beach clothes so didn't go. The welcome from the crew with individual handshakes was lovely and they were so friendly and lovely at all times. One crew member even summoned the reef sharks to the ship with a special call he'd learnt in his village from his grandfather. We were on the 3 night option and stayed in an Orchid Upper deck room. I agree with some fellow passengers that there was nowhere to relax in the cabin unless you laid on the bed, but it was perfect to watch the islands drift buy sitting in the shade of the bar with the fans going and an expertly mixed mocktail/cocktail between trips. Enough storage for us and you get used to the bathroom. The AC was efficient and we slept well We don't snorkel so did the glass bottom boat option to see the coral and reef sharks (also saw dolphins from the ship that day which the Captain announced ) Later we visited Soso Village and were welcomed by the chief and an Elder- with a quick visit to the school. You are given instructions on respecting local customs with regards to attire (you get a complimentary beach bag with sarongs, water bottles and toiletries) The next day we returned to the village for a church Service- such amazing harmonic singing. There was afternoon tea on the beach (well in the shade near the beach) One afternoon we had swimming on an idyllic beach where the crew had set up chairs/umbrellas and later afternoon tea. We were bid farewell with more singing by the crew as we swapped over with the 4 day arrivals. The food was good and the tender crews very good at helping people in and out of the boat. Our room was kept clean and we loved the complimentary laundry service with items delivered back the same day. I think they are maybe replacing the ship with a newer one this year, but we had a great time on the existing one and met some lovely crew and passengers.

Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Fijian adventure in the future. Warmest Regards!
Hate to admit it was not perfect for us, because we do not swim, snorkel or participate in water activities. Must say most of the guests really enjoyed the activities on offer every day, and it was very well organised. The food choices were very varied and for sure everybody’s taste would be adequately catered. The barman knew how to mix true cocktail's. The captain was a very approachable and pleasant, and it was a pleasure inter-reacting with him. The cabins though not luxurious, were adequate. The best part of the cruise was the staff. Here’s my problem, I do not want to name any names, because I risk missing some very deserving names. In summation, every single member of staff I encountered were extremely helpful and efficient. I am going to resist the temptation to write an entire book about all the help I was offered. I very big thank you to all.

I was impressed with the excellent service and professionalism of your team, as well as the food and Activities! The Day to Day activites although the weather was on our side, still made the cruise even more exciting and beautiful.
Bula Vinaka We are pleased that you had great adventures on your three night Explorer Cruise. It prides us that you were impressed with our excellent service and professionalism as well as the food and activities. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back soon for even more memorable moments soon. Vinaka Vakalevu!
Everyone is so friendly and the cruise was too short. Everything was perfect, even in the rain! I would like to especially commend Joe (only on board for a month) and Api and Reapi for always knowing our names and having a ready greeting! But, everyone was warm and friendly! The bed was comfy and the gifts for each guest were perfect!
Bula LOffutt, Thank you for your five star rating and review. It prides us to read that your cruise was perfect and that everyone was so friendly even though it rained. Your mention of Joe, Api and Reapi is highly appreciated and we are already looking forward to welcoming you back home in the near future. Sota Tale and Vinaka Vakalevu!
