Our Ship - MV. Yasawa Princess II

The 'MV. Yasawa Princess II' Experience

The MV. Yasawa Princess II, new to our fleet in 2026, will be your home away from home throughout your cruise—except each morning, whereby you'll wake up in a different stunning location. With 75 years of experience cruising Fiji’s islands, we know the best spots to explore, and who better to show you these idyllic islands than the Fijian crew themselves? Our all-Fijian team, with a high crew-to-guest ratio, ensures you'll receive attentive, personalized service. You'll quickly be greeted by name, and everywhere you go, you'll be welcomed with a warm ‘BULA’.

Intimate Cruising

The small size of Blue Lagoon Cruises' cruise ship, the MV. Yasawa Princess II, is just one of the reasons why a cruise with us is so special. Measuring 150 feet (45.8 metres), she can access bays and islands that would be impossible to reach in a larger ship – we can get so close to shore that we can tie off to a coconut tree, and you can swim to the beach.

  • With a maximum of 44 passengers and up to 22 Fijian crew, you know you will be well looked after with true Fijian hospitality
  • Due to our small number of guests, no matter which beach or island we visit, you won’t be overwhelmed by crowds. Most of the time, our guests are the only people on the beach!
  • The vessel's décor is fresh and modern with a nod to the companies' history in these islands
  • You only need to unpack once and then let your floating hotel take you from an idyllic place to an idyllic experience, every day 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
  • Our 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 for us to alter our itinerary to cruise on the sheltered side of the islands

Cruise Preparation

Blue Lagoon Cruises caters to people of all ages and fitness levels. However, you do need to have a good enough level of mobility to make your way up and down staircases between each deck. While getting in and out of the tender boats can require a certain degree of mobility, the crew will tailor shore landings to suit, and there’s nothing wrong with staying on board for those who would prefer to relax and enjoy the scenery. On or off the ship, the Blue Lagoon Cruises team will ensure that you have a truly memorable experience.

 

Dress standard

The dress code is casual and informal, even at dinner. We encourage our guests to wear what they feel comfortable in and to leave their dinner jackets and high heels at home. For those wanting to visit villages for cultural reasons, we do ask that men wear a sulu (provided in your cabin) and women dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered.
