Blue Lagoon Cruises releases stunning 2007 brochure
Blue Lagoon Cruises’ Australian Sales Manager Libby Wood told The Mole today that copies of the boutique island cruise specialist’s 2007 brochure are now readily available, with the new brochure featuring full details of all the company’s excellent products, which include three-day/two-night and four-day/three-night ‘Club Cruises’ and four-day/three-night and seven-day/six-night ‘Gold Club’ cruises.
The brochure also features Blue Lagoon Cruises’ seven-day/six-night ‘Cruise in Luxury – Dive in Paradise’ (CLDP) packages and the unique ‘Historical & Cultural Dateline Cruise’ programs which will operate just three times in 2007.
Effective 02 April, the seven-day/six-night CLDP programs will depart from the company’s home port of Lautoka on the first Monday of every month.
The CLDP programs provide a great option for super-keen dive enthusiasts looking to sample Fiji’s remote Yasawa Islands in combination with a luxury cruise, with the dive component includes up to 15 dives over the seven day cruise program – plus all equipment – with the flexibility to do as many or as few dives as required.
These include a night dive and wreck diving in the region which is renowned for its huge variety of marine life and endless coral pastures.
The boutique island cruise specialist’s ‘Gold Club’ cruise format also presents an ideal fit for divers with non-diving friends or family, with the comfortably paced, nicely blended ‘Gold Club’ program combining plenty of time ashore with bushwalking, snorkelling safaris, swimming, visits to remote village and cultural activities.
The exclusive ‘Historical & Cultural Dateline Cruise’ programs will operate just three times in 2007 – on 19 March, 16 July and 19 November.
Aside from its remoteness, the area is unique in the fact that it is the only place
on earth where travellers can see all three of the Pacific Ocean’s distinct cultural groupings – Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian – living together, including Kioa Island, home to some 300 Polynesian Elice Islanders who migrated into the region in the 1940’s.
The cruise will also visit the 4,000 Micronesian Banabans who have inhabited Rabi Island since 1946, an area which remains virtually the same since the Banabans first arrived from Kiribati to escape the ravages phosphate mining had dealt to their home islands.
The cruise schedule also includes Fiji’s original capital city, Levuka, on Ovalua Island and Nananu-I-Ra Island, the traditional home of the Fijian Serpent God Degei who according to local legend created the thousands of islands comprising the Fijian archipelago.

The Mole is visiting Fiji next week for TravelMole on location and meeting with Scott Forrest Director of Commercial Operations with Blue Lagoon to bring you up so speed with everything happening.
