Every detail has been designed with you in mind. From spacious suites and sun decks, to elevated dining experiences and a wellness deck that is as refreshing as it is rejuvenating.

The Seychelles Islands, in the Indian Ocean, is a tropical paradise perfect for nature lovers, where dazzling white sand beaches are fringed with lush jungle, and the region is rich in marine and bird life.

Welcome aboard this 8-day cruise through the scenic Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. We set sail from the tropical paradise of Mahé Island. Along the way, explore Sainte Anne Channel, home to magnificent marine life, then venture to Cousin, a small island sheltering various species of sea birds. Discover some of the best beaches in the world on Praslin Island, La Digue Island and observe an abundance of wildlife on Curieuse Island and Aride Island, before returning to Mahé island.

Itinerary Map

Itinerary Highlights

Mahe Island
The largest of the Seychelles is home to the smallest capital of the world, Port Victoria. Forested peaks overlook its powder white, idyllic beaches, verdant vegetation, and coconut and cinnamon plantations. Mahe is a centre of craft artisans, painters, sculptors and woodworkers.

Praslin
One of the Seychelles' most popular destinations, Praslin is home to fantastic beaches and intimate hotels and resorts. Soak up the sun in style while you keep a sunglassed eye out for the very rare bird species that dwell on Praslin, including the Seychelles bulbul and the black parrot. Praslin National Park in the island's south contains the spectacular palm forest of Vallée de Mai. Divers love the ancient coral reefs off Praslin's shores.

La Digue
Arriving at La Digue feels like sailing straight into a painting, brimming with brush strokes of blue, green and tan. The beaches here are spectacular, particularly Grand Anse and Anse Source d'Argent, which is strewn with pink granite rocks. There are very few cars here, so traveling by bike or by ox cart is the way to go.

Curieuse
Curieuse Island is a small granitic island 1.13 sq mi in the Seychelles close to the north coast of the island of Praslin. Curieuse is notable for its bare red earth intermingled with the unique coco de mer palms, one of the cultural icons of the Seychelles, only growing on the two neighboring islands.

Aride Island
Aride Island is the northernmost granitic island in the Seychelles. A nature reserve, it is leased and managed by the Island Conservation Society of Seychelles.
