FUEL SURCHARGE FOR BLUE LAGOON CRUISES

What you need to know

1st July 2026

Dear Guests,

Blue Lagoon Cruises has updated the mandatory fuel surcharge first introduced in April 2026 following a decrease in Fiji's fuel prices, effective from 1 July 2026. This marks the first reduction in Fiji's fuel prices since the global oil crisis began, and these savings are being passed directly on to guests through a reduced mandatory fuel surcharge.

Why is the mandatory fuel surcharge in place?

While fuel prices have decreased, the price of diesel in Fiji remains approximately 60% higher than before the global oil crisis. These ongoing fuel costs, together with increased operating expenses across areas such as food and beverage, international freight and other supplier costs, cannot be fully absorbed within our current cruise fares.

For those who may not be aware, fuel prices in Fiji are regulated by the Fijian Competition & Consumer Commission (FCCC) and are only reviewed on the first day of each month. Prices are influenced by several global factors, including the Means of Platts Singapore (MOPS) gasoil market, international freight rates, fuel availability and foreign exchange rates. As a result, Fiji's fuel prices typically lag behind those in markets such as Australia, New Zealand and North America by one to two months.

The mandatory fuel surcharge has been reduced to FJD $25.00 per cabin, per night for travel from 3rd July 2026 until further notice. The surcharge will be charged to your cabin account and is payable at the conclusion of your cruise together with any other onboard purchases or incidentals.

We’d like to thank our guests for their understanding of our need to recover a percentage of this significant 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 is committed to reviewing the mandatory fuel surcharge each month and will do so again on 1 August 2026. In line with current global oil prices, we anticipate that fuel prices in Fiji may continue to decrease, with any further reductions reflected in future fuel surcharge reviews. Until such time as a further review is communicated, the surcharge within this advisory remains applicable until further notice.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you onboard.

Vinaka,

Blue Lagoon Cruises
