CHEERS TO 70 YEARS

Blue Lagoon Cruises began small ship cruising in the Fiji Islands, and the year 2020 marks their 70th anniversary in operation –making them one of the oldest tourism providers in the South Pacific.

Founded in 1950 by a young New Zealand stockbroker Trevor Withers, the intent was to set up a fishing industry in Fiji. This dream morphed into a tourism venture, that has slowly grown into a multi-vessel fleet.

With three, four, and seven-night cruises on offer, you can find yourself snorkelling with sharks, swimming with manta rays (May to October), or just chilling on the beach. The team at Blue Lagoon Cruises know all the best places in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands – after all, they have been doing it for 70 years!

One of the celebratory cruises planned for 2020 is the ‘Cheers to 70 Years’ Villa Maria Wine Tasting Cruise. Why not jump on board for this four-night cruise? You will enjoy nightly wine tastings lead by Villa Maria’s chief winemaker, wine-matched evening meals, and wine-themed evening entertainment. Sublime.

They may be 70, but Blue Lagoon Cruises have taken the bold move of becoming single-use plastic-free. This means installing filtered mineral water stations throughout the ship and providing all guests with the gift of a reusable drink bottle to use onboard. A glass crusher on board also aids in reducing waste and the impact on the environment. Happy birthday to Blue Lagoon. Do come and celebrate!
