| Blue Lagoon tick

FIJIAN operator South Sea Cruises, the parent company of Blue Lagoon Cruises and South Sea Island, has received a new ISO accreditation relating to its Environmental Management Systems.

The achievement followed an audit by NZ-based Telarc, which is the country’s key body for accrediting ISO standards recognised in over 160 countries globally.

South Sea Cruises CEO Brad Rutherford said the group was also the only tour and transport operator in Fiji to receive Telarc accreditation for its Quality Management systems and Occupational Health & Safety.

The ISO tick follows a major fleet replacement and modernisation program, as well as reduction of single-use plastic by the cruise operator.
