The islands of Seychelles offer something very different from the usual tropical holiday. Not only are these isles unrivalled in beauty as the only mid-ocean granite islands in the world, but the diversity of this Indian Ocean archipelago, with each of its 115 islands offering up their own special character and unique landscapes, can sometimes overwhelm holiday-makers. The very concept of our Seychelles cruises is designed to maximise this unique aspect of the destination.
On our cruises, one can discover the beauty and wonder of the many different islands of Seychelles, without the organisational burden of transfers and a multitude of excursion bookings.
Our Seychelles cruises put travellers in the best position to discover the different perspectives and harder to reach islands and islets of the archipelago. Sheltered coves, good moorings and easy sailing distances as a result of the islands’ close proximity to one another, allow our guests to maximise their Seychelles holiday, leaving more time for diving and snorkeling in pristine turquoise waters or exploring the exotic culture and flavour, as well as flora and fauna, of the various isles.
Above all, our cruises regularly stand out for their service-oriented approach. A sizable but un-intrusive crew, which aside from the captain and engineer includes 2 deckhands, 2 stewardesses, a dive instructor and a dedicated chef, all aim to assure our guests an extraordinary sailing holiday with the comfort and amenities comparable to the more traditional forms of accommodation on land. There may be no better way to enjoy a diverse, adventurous, and all the while relaxing Seychelles holiday, than by sailing on one of our cruises.
Seychelles cruises... an array of possibilities
An array of exciting activities await holiday makers onboard all of our Seychelles cruises.
By virtue of being at sea, many of these activities, such as swimming, diving and snorkeling, as well as waterskiing and kayaking, are virtually always possible throughout the entire duration of our cruises, nearly anytime a client so wishes.
Diving and snorkeling in Seychelles is an incredibly rewarding experience. These idyllic tropical islands play host to the Indian Ocean’s crystal clear waters, allowing divers and snorkelers to immerse themselves in Seychelles’ unique underwater world with good visibility.
Snorkeling is an easy way to get up close and personal with tropical reef fish, corals, sea turtles and other colourful creatures of the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, diving affords underwater enthusiasts the chance to dive amongst the various underwater communities hosted by massive granite pillars and boulders, which are unique to Seychelles as the only granitic mid-ocean islands in the Indian Ocean, and the rest of the world.
Each of our vessels is considered a PADI diving centre, offering 18 diving tanks with full equipment rental available onboard, along with an experienced PADI instructor available to accompany all dives and even conduct introductory diving for first-time divers.
Our Seychelles cruises also give our guests the opportunity to try their hand at sailing, either with the traditional rigs of Sea Shell and Sea Pearl, our traditional sailing vessels, or the modern furling systems of our sailing yachts Sea Star and Sea Bird.
