Flexible Cruising
To ensure you have the best possible cruise experience, BLC use 'flexible cruising'. What this means is that they are prepared to alter itineraries, either when necessary, or when some exciting opportunity arises. For example, if there is some special event taking part in a local Yasawa Village, which you really should see, then they will alter the cruise route to take you there. Or, if they think that that the destined anchorage for the night is not going to be as sheltered as a bay on the other side of the island, they'll up-anchor and move. Cruising through a region of coral lagoons and isolated island anchorages is weather dependent and so, at times, itineraries may need to be altered.

4 Night Wanderer Cruise Itinerary
MONDAY - 1ST NIGHT: YALOBI BAY:
Following a private high-speed catamaran transfer to the Sacred Islands, you’ll be welcomed aboard M.V. Fiji Princess. Settle into your cabin and have lunch on the ship, then spend your afternoon snorkelling, swimming and relaxing on the beach. Enjoy a complimentary sparkling wine and canapés as you mix and mingle with your fellow cruisers prior to the Captain’s Welcome Dinner.
TUESDAY - 2ND NIGHT: BLUE LAGOON / NANUYA LAILAI:
Today’s destination is the famous Blue Lagoon and the private beach on beautiful Nanuya Lailai Island. M.V. Fiji Princess will tie off to a coconut tree and this is your chance to jump off the back of the ship as many times as you like and swim to shore. Optional activities include snorkelling, fish feeding, volleyball, water aerobics and a coconut husking demonstration. A BBQ lunch will be served on the beach while tonight’s dinner is a traditional Fijian Lovo — a meal cooked underground in a fire pit. Tonight’s entertainment is a Meke performance by local villagers.
WEDNESDAY - 3RD NIGHT: SAWA-I-LAU:
Stretch your legs this morning with a 40-minute guided walk to Lo’s Tea Shop on the other side of the island. Walk back to M.V. Fiji Princess or travel by water taxi for your cruise north to the sacred Sawa-I-Lau Caves, followed by a visit to Tamasua Village where you’ll enjoy a traditional seafood dinner. Tonight is a screening of the Brooke Shields’ classic film The Blue Lagoon on the Sky Deck (weather permitting) which was filmed here in the Yasawa Islands.
THURSDAY - 4TH NIGHT: DRAWAQA ISLAND:
This morning you can choose to visit a local school before we head south again, this time for Drawaqa Island. A marine biologist will join us on board to tell us about the marine life, coral reefs and the conservation programmes that the Vinaka Fiji Trust has been working on in the Yasawas. This afternoon you can take part in some optional extras (diving or handline fishing, own expense), go in search of the manta rays (May-Oct) or simply relax on the beach. For the last night together, there is a BBQ on the Sky Deck (weather permitting) followed by a disco. Boogie on down!
FRIDAY:
Enjoy breakfast on board as M.V. Fiji Princess cruises back to Port Denarau. Back at port you’ll be serenaded with the traditional Isa Lei farewell song by the crew, as your exploration of the beautiful Yasawa Islands comes to an end. ~~~~ |
