|
Final check in time is
1.30pm at Blue Lagoon Cruises pre-boarding lounge at Lautoka. After an
opportunity for last minute shopping at our well stocked boutique and
the fitting of snorkeling equipment you will be transferred by coach to
the wharf to board Blue Lagoon Cruises’ luxury vessel the Mystique
Princess to begin your four day/three night Gold Club Cruise.
Once onboard, freshen up in the luxury of your
spacious stateroom before joining fellow passengers in the dinning
saloon for afternoon tea as the Mystique Princess sets sail on the
afternoon tide for the beautiful Yasawa Islands.
Against the backdrop of a sensational South
Seas sunset and spectacular island scenery complimentary champagne and
hors d’oeuvres are served on the Sky Deck. The mystical islands cast
their subtle spell as you relax and meet new friends. Tonight a superb
selection of South Pacific fare is served for the "Captains
Welcome" dinner, with a wide selection of wines available from the
ships cellar. Island songs from the crew complete this first memorable
evening.
Day 2 |
The first sunrise in the
Yasawa Islands is a magical experience as the light gradually reveals
pristine sandy white beaches, fringed with palm trees. For the energetic
early birds there is an optional dip in a tranquil lagoon before the
delights of a hot and cold buffet breakfast as the Captain skillfully
pilots the Mystique Princess through beautiful coral cays towards the
first stop of the day.
Having dropped anchor in a sheltered lagoon
there is ample time to explore, swim, snorkel, sunbathe or simply relax
in the shade of a palm tree with a favorite book and a long cool drink
After a barbecue lunch on
the beach complete with irresistible sizzling steaks, sausages, baked
fish, salads and tropical fruit the ships sets course for the next
island stop. From the sky deck there are panoramic views of the rich
coral seas and crystal clear lagoons as the Mystique Princess carefully
anchors near a traditional Fijian village. Here passengers are welcomed
as honored guests.
The village green is the
setting for the ancient and solemn "yaqona" ceremony followed
by authentic ‘meke’ entertainment (dances) and ‘seres’
(singing). This is a place where time stands still.

|
The Fijian people live today
as they have for hundreds of years and this special opportunity to share
their culture and lifestyle passes all too quickly before it is time to
bid a fond farewell and return to the waiting ship. For this special
night a spectacular smorgasbord dinner is served followed by evening
entertainment courtesy of your crew.
Day 3
|
After breakfast, we weigh anchor and set sail
for Blue Lagoon Cruises own private island paradise, Nanuya Lailai. With
delicate coral and a myriad of tropical fish, it is a snorkeller’s
delight. Once ashore a variety of activities await you including
bushwalking, sailboarding, coral viewing, spy boarding, paddle boarding,
fishing, sunbathing, and for the energetic volleyball with the crew. In
the late afternoon you can witness the preparation of a traditional
island feast or "magiti" in an earth oven called a lovo. As
another perfect day draws to a memorable end delicacies such as
succulent pork, lamb, chicken and fish with an array of island dishes
and tropical fruit are savored and enjoyed. After dinner the beach party
continues to the strumming of guitars long into the unforgettable night.
Day 4 |
After an optional early
morning swim the anchor is lifted for the last time as the Captain sets
a course for the mainland of Viti Levu. There is breakfast and morning
refreshments to enjoy as the Mystique Princess cruises through the
Yasawa Islands to arrive at Lautoka wharf at noon. Your last memory of
these few heady days in this south seas paradise are those of the
haunting lyrics of Fiji’s farewell song "Isa Lei" sung by
your crew.

- Sun Tips: Blue
Lagoon Cruises wishes to emphasise the importance of using sun screen
and recommends that you should use a water-resistant 15+ when in the
sun. Make sure you maintain your waterproof sunblock and lip screen
throughout the day and wear a hat and sunglasses when you are on the
beach or on a boat. While snorkelling, you are most vulnerable to the
sun so wearing a t-shirt is recommended
- Snorkelling Tips: The
snorkelling opportunities around the Yasawas and Mamanucas are
legendary with some of the most beautiful coral and marine life in the
world on view. To ensure that you and future visitors may enjoy the
beauty of the reefs, we ask that you consider the following:
- Never snorkel alone.
- Do not remove living
shells or coral from the reef – you may be depriving a hermit
crab of a home.
- If you turn any coral
rocks around to get a better view, please make sure you turn them
back as there are organisms under the coral sheltering from
predators. Left exposed, they will soon be eaten. Similarly eggs
of various reef creatures are laid under coral blocks. Their
survival is vital for posterity.
- Do not kneel, walk on
or grasp any coral. Some are remarkably fragile and any small
pieces you break will take several years to grow again.
- Alcohol, drugs and
snorkelling can be a fatal combination: always enter the water
with a clear head.
- Diving: With
advance notice, scuba diving expeditions can be arranged. Visit also Yasawa
Diving.
- Deck Plan: A
deck plan and safety instructions are located on the inside of your
stateroom or cabin door.
