For most of the year, Blue Lagoon Cruises is exclusive to adults in the style of smaller resorts. However, we have many requests for family bookings from guests who have previously cruised with us, so we are pleased to offer a selection of departure dates for family cruising!
The chosen "Family Cruise" departure dates are all within the Australian and New Zealand school holidays.
