Blue Lagoon Cruises
says the time is right
for its popular Mystique
Princess to return to
service for the first
time since the company
merged with South Sea
Cruises back in 2012.
Speaking to CW during
this week’s Fijian Tourism Expo,
Blue Lagoon ceo Peter Duncan
said the move was in response to
“market demand,” with bookings
for sister ship Fiji Princess
increasing to a point where
the company is “already facing
capacity issues on quite a number
of departures”.
The company is also seeing
increased enquiry levels for
special charters, Duncan said.
But don’t hold your breath – the
announcement confirmed that
while concept plans have been
drawn up, the proposal is that
Mystique Princess will undergo a
comprehensive makeover for the next 18 months, with a re-launch
scheduled for early 2017.
“At this point, I can tell you the
makeover will be a thorough
bow-to-stern that covers all onboard
facilities, including an allnew
decor for passenger cabins
and the public areas of the ship.”
Blue Lagoon Cruises has been
undergoing a re-invigoration
over the last few years since it
merged with South Sea Cruises
(CW 19 Jul 2012), with Duncan
saying the decision to bring
back Mystique Princess “will be
warmly welcomed by our industry
partners in our key markets
around the world”
