When Fiji’s small ship cruise company, Blue Lagoon Cruises, put Fiji Princess into service their retired the 55 metre Mystique Princess
Now by popular demand Mystique Princess will come back into service to accompany her sister ship.
With a capacity of just 68 passengers, the boutique cruise ship is petite enough to explore remote islands and bays inaccessible to larger vessels.
Company CEO Peter Duncan told media attending this year’s Fiji Tourism Exchange that bookings for cruises aboard the Fiji Princess have increased significantly to a point where the company is already facing capacity issues on quite a number of departures.
He said, “We are very excited about bringing Mystique Princess back into service to meet this pleasing demand. She will receive a comprehensive refurbishment over the next 18 months and we’re aiming to celebrate her re-launch early in 2017.”
He said part of the increased market demand was inquiry for special charters, such as a recent one to explore one of the world’s greatest mysteries – the disappearance of the American aviatrix Amelia Earhart.
