Highlights

Highlights

• It’s no exaggeration to say the beaches here are some of the most beautiful in the world. our small ship allows us to drop anchor beside uninhabited islands and swim in bays the big cruise liners can’t reach.
• We’ll make a stop at the stunning anse source d’argent on la dique – it’s consistently rated as one of the best beaches in the world.
• While bigger cruise liners have to moor out at sea and commute into shore via tender, we’ll drop anchor in the middle of port towns like mahe, and la digue. you can hop on or off the boat as you please.
• The seychelles are mainly known for their resorts, but this trip visits far-flung islands like aride. short distances between the islands also mean less time cruising, usually for no more than 3-4 hours at a stretch.
