introduction

Feed your soul

Imagine waking every morning to a beautiful new paradise.

Savour days of turquoise seas, pure white beaches, palm-

fringed islands and the intimate tranquillity of boutique

small ship cruising. While your crew are indulging your

every wish, cruise to unspoilt islands, visit remote Fijian

villages and swim and snorkel in some of the most pristine

waters in the world.

Have fun – dive in

Take a magical voyage in the relaxed ambiance of Blue

Lagoon Cruises to the remote and exquisitely beautiful

Yasawa Islands. These islands are renowned for their

picturesque beaches and tranquil lagoons. Situated 40km

north-west from Nadi these islands extend almost 90km.

Sailing takes just a few short hours each day, leaving you

plenty of time to go ashore and explore, play water sports,

enjoy cultural activities . . . or simply do nothing at all.

It’s up to you.

Our cruise directors are trained to make your Blue Lagoon

Cruise experience truly memorable, with cultural as

well as fun activities. These can range from fishing, fish

feeding, snorkelling, coral viewing, scuba diving, volleyball,

bushwalking, spy boarding and kayaking. All entertainment

and activities are included, with the exception of scuba

diving. Our 15 dives package has proved popular with serious

divers. Refer to page 12.

On all of our cruises you can continue the unwinding process

with facials, manicures, pedicures and massages from our

skilled beauty therapists in our Lagoon Spa.

Service – always with a smile

The majority of our crew is Fijian, over half of them from the

Yasawa Islands. They have a special gift for offering genuine

friendly service – of a distinctly Fijian kind. They pay attention

to the smallest details of your comfort. You will immediately

feel relaxed in our informal and friendly atmosphere.

The inherent Fijian hospitality and warmth is a trademark of

our service.

You’re an honoured guest

Experience first-hand the ancient Fijian culture, where people

live today as they have for hundreds of years. You will be

welcomed as an honoured guest when you visit a traditional

Fijian village and take part in the Yaqona (Kava) ceremony

of welcome.

Nanuya Lailai awaits you

Our breathtakingly beautiful, pristine and private island

Nanuya Lailai, in the Yasawas, is available exclusively for your

enjoyment, as are its crystal clear waters and sweeps of fine

white sandy beaches.

Create your perfect cruising holiday

With over 57 years’ experience in cruising these waters, a fleet

of three boutique cruise ships and six unique itineraries. Blue

Lagoon Cruises offer you a choice of itineraries to suit your

travel plans.

exotic island specialities such as kokoda, a magnificent

marinated fish dish, dalo (root vegetable) and

spicy curries. We also cater for the special needs of

vegetarians, vegans and children.

Your culinary experiences will also include the

traditional Fijian lovo feast of pork, lamb, fish, chicken

and vegetables, individually wrapped in banana leaves

and slowly cooked on hot stones in an earth oven,

covered with palm fronds. A memorable meal, served

under lantern-lit trees on a tropical island.

Enjoy themed dining evenings, exotic barbecues,

fabulous smorgasbords and, every morning,

freshly made omelettes cooked according to your

personal preference.

Our extensive wine list features many top vintages from

Australia and New Zealand.

All meals are included in the price of a Blue Lagoon

cruise. With the exception of juice, coffee and tea,

which are served with meals, alcohol and beverages

any cruise with 10 or more children. They take care of

the children from breakfast through to entertainment

after dinner. They ensure that the children eat early,

have activities to keep them occupied and are taken

care of while the adults are sitting back enjoying

cocktails and dinner. Games, favourite movies, fishing

competitions and fish feeding and all the usual beach

and water activities are available.

Overview

With only three scheduled cruises each year, this world first

itinerary takes passengers on an incredible journey through

the rich history and diverse cultures of the Pacific Islands.

The 7 Day/6 Night Historical and Cultural Gold Club cruise

ventures off the beaten track, to the international dateline and

the north-east tip of the Fiji Islands. Experience three different

South Pacific cultures; Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian,

while exploring remote island locations, some rarely visited by

commercial vessels before.

This special cruise will feature and be led by an expert in the

history, art and culture of the northern Fiji islands. Our expert

guide will provide you with a truly unique perspective on

the history of the Polynesian Fijians (Kioa Islanders) and the

Micronesian Fijians (Rabi Islanders).

You will visit a traditional Fijian (Melanesian) village and

experience the special honour of participating in the solemn

Yaqona (Kava) welcome ceremony while traditional forms

of entertainment are provided by the villagers. Polynesian

welcome ceremonies, entertainment and village visits, as well

as traditional Micronesian entertainment and a village visit

in Rabi, are the cultural highlights of this cruise. A visit to the

180th Meridian and International Dateline at Taveuni and Rabi

will allow you to stand with one foot in each of two

different days.

The cruise also includes a walking tour of Levuka, Fiji’s

historical capital, a guided tour of Taveuni including Bouma

Eco Park and waterfall. Without a doubt, the most memorable

moment will be the sight at Kioa of islanders in outrigger

canoes and traditional dress, coming to pick you up off your

cruise ship to paddle you ashore for a traditional welcome.

Sun tipsBlue Lagoon Cruises emphasise the importance of using sunscreen

and recommend that you use a water-resistant 15+ or 30+ SPF

when you’re exposed to the sun. Remember to re-apply your

waterproof sunblock and lip screen throughout the day and to

wear a hat and sunglasses when you are on the beach or boat.

While snorkelling, you are most vulnerable to the sun, so wearing a

T-shirt is recommended.

Snorkelling tipsBlue Lagoon Cruises take you to some of the most beautiful coral

and marine life in the world. To ensure that you and future visitors

can continue to enjoy the beauty of the reefs, please respect this

pristine environment by not removing living shells or coral from

the reef. Also be aware that some coral is extremely fragile, and is

easily damaged. Snorkelling lessons are conducted by our cruise

directors for those who are interested. Snorkelling aids available for

non-swimmers.

Early morning swimWe schedule an early morning swim every day on every cruise.

Simply leave your cabin number with the cruise director the night

before and you will be woken up and escorted to a secluded,

private beach for a swim.

DivingBlue Lagoon Cruises can take you on an unforgettable diving

expedition to explore the fabulous coral reefs. Diving may be

arranged at check-in. Evidence of certification is required for

anything other than an introductory dive.
