Fiji Lines Up More International and Small-Ship Cruising for 2027, Tourism Fiji Says
If you want small-ship cruising in Fiji, the article names two options to look at. Heritage Expeditions' 11-day Heritage Adventurer voyage starts in March 2027 and visits Savusavu, Fulaga and Taveuni. Blue Lagoon Cruises' Yasawa Princess II carries only 44 guests in 22 cabins. The article gives no prices or booking deadlines, so check directly with those operators for availability and pricing, and ask whether a sailing can be paired with a resort stay.
My read is that Tourism Fiji is selling the destination as a cruise gateway, and the source is a destination marketing statement, not an operator's filing. The most concrete product is Heritage Expeditions' 11-day March 2027 voyage on the Heritage Adventurer, which calls at Savusavu, Fulaga and Taveuni. The operators winning here are small-ship lines, and the statement itself says to forget the traditional mega-ship experience. The wry part is that the 45-meter Yasawa Princess II, with just 44 guests in 22 cabins, is pitched on reaching places larger ships can't. Record August 2026 arrivals suggest demand is strong, but the text never says how many cruise operators are coming, since the list of companies didn't survive in the copy. I would treat this as a prompt to research, not a reason to book. If a small ship appeals to you, I would ask Blue Lagoon Cruises and Heritage Expeditions for dates and pricing before committing.
