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.
