FUEL SURCHARGE FOR BLUE LAGOON CRUISES
Applicable for travel from 1st of September 2026
1st of September 2026
Dear Guests,
Please be advised that Blue Lagoon Cruises continue to have a mandatory fuel surcharge in place.
Why is the mandatory fuel surcharge in place?
The price of diesel in Fiji as of the 1st of September 2026 remains some 46% higher than before the Middle East supply issues impacted fuel prices globally. The continuation of high fuel prices into September 2026 cannot be absorbed within our current rates.
Importantly for those who aren’t already aware, Fiji’s fuel prices are set by the Fijian Competition & Consumer Commission (FCCC) and is only ever amended on the first day of each month (the most recent amendment being effective the 1st of September 2026). The price of fuel in Fiji is based on a range of factors globally but most noticeably by movement in the Means of Platts Singapore (MOPS) gasoil market, the availability of fuel from foreign suppliers, international freight rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fiji’s fuel prices are always 1-2 months behind fuel prices in other global markets such as Australia, New Zealand and North America, and hence cannot be compared with countries who adjust their fuel prices on an almost daily basis.
The mandatory fuel surcharge currently applicable is FJ$20.00 per cabin per night and will be charged to guests’ cabins to pay onboard at the conclusion of their cruise, along with other incidentals or items enjoyed during the cruise.
We’d like to thank our guests for their understanding of our need to recover a percentage of this increase in fuel costs. We also ask that Terms & Conditions are noted which are as follows:
“While we try our utmost not to increase our prices, this is sometimes outside our control. On that basis, we reserve the right to amend our prices although amendments should occur only in the instance of increases in our costs to deliver the cruise such as but not limited to, fuel costs, government taxes and charges, exchange rate fluctuations, and ground costs beyond the control of Blue Lagoon Cruises and which are deemed material to operations.”
Blue Lagoon Cruises thanks all guests for your understanding of the current situation and your acceptance of the mandatory fuel surcharge when settling your bill at check out.
Vinaka,
Blue Lagoon Cruises
