Fiji Island Cruise Map
Fiji Princess
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 and with 70 years' experience cruising the islands of Fiji, Blue Lagoon Cruises know all the best places to take you! Who better to show you their home than the Fijians themselves? The all-Fijian crew and with a high crew member-to-guest ratio ensure you will be well looked after. The crew will quickly know you by name and every way you turn there will be a big ‘BULA’ welcome.
The small size of the cruise ship is just one of the reasons it is so special. Measuring 179 feet (55 metres), the M.V. Fiji Proncess can access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a larger ship – it can get so close to shore that it's possible to tie off to a coconut tree and you can swim to the beach!
- With a maximum of 68 passengers and up to 30 Fijian crew, you know you will be well looked after with true Fijian hospitality
- Due to the small number of guests, no matter which beach or island you visit, there won't be crowds. Most of the time, guests are the only people on the beach!
- The vessels décor is fresh and nautical, with echoes of the romantic age of cruising gone by
- You only need to unpack once and then let your floating hotel take you from idyllic place to idyllic experience – everyday somewhere and something different
- Visit traditional Fijian villages, swim in crystal-clear lagoons and gaze out on tropical vistas you thought only existed in movies
- Guests often make friends for life, given the social atmosphere of small ship cruising
- If conditions are rough due to winds and swells, it's easy to alter itinerary to cruise on the sheltered side of the islands
