Cruising Schedule
Once a week the MV. Fiji Princess departs Port Denarau for her voyage into the enchanting Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. Operating from late April 2026, MV. Yasawa Princess II departs Port Denarau for her voyage into the enchanting Yasawa Islands. While you may travel on either the 32-cabin MV. Fiji Princess or the 22-cabin MV. Yasawa Princess II, both offer the same stunning destinations, all-inclusive experiences, and warm Fijian hospitality so your cruise experience will be just as unforgettable, whichever ship you're on.

Cabins are allocated upon guest check-in only. We can't guarantee a particular cabin or deck preference; however, we will certainly do our best to accommodate any specific requests. Single cabins: There are a limited number of single cabins available on each cruise. Confirmation is subject to availability.

Cruise Preparation:
Blue Lagoon Cruises caters to people of all ages and fitness levels. However, you do need to have a good enough level of mobility to make your way up and down staircases between each deck. While getting in and out of the tender boats can require a certain degree of mobility, the crew will tailor shore landings to suit, and there's nothing wrong with staying on board for those who would prefer to relax and enjoy the scenery. On or off the ship, the Blue Lagoon Cruises team will ensure that you have a truly memorable experience.

Cabin Inclusions:
- A complimentary mini bar stocked on the day of departure only with a selection of premium beer, soft drinks, sparkling wine, and snacks (Note: alcoholic beverages can be exchanged for non-alcoholic options if requested at the time of booking).
- Gifts of a Blue Lagoon Cruises tote bag, Pure Fiji gift bag per cabin, and a reusable metal water bottle, and a sulu (sarong) for each person
