Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Victoria
Depart 23:59
Victoria is the world's smallest capital city, heart of the Seychelles archipelago on the granite island of Mahé, where endemic coco de mer palms, spectacular beaches framed by massive boulders, and a vibrant Creole market culture converge. Must-do experiences include browsing the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market, hiking the Copolia Trail through endemic forests, and swimming at Anse Intendance beach. May through September offers the coolest, driest conditions for exploration.
Day 2
Day 2
La Digue
La Digue is the smallest inhabited granitic island in the Seychelles, where ancient granite boulders frame the world-famous Anse Source d'Argent beach and bicycles remain the primary transport. Visitors cycle through tropical splendour, spot the endangered Seychelles paradise flycatcher, and feast on Creole cuisine of grilled snapper, octopus curry, and vanilla-scented ladob. AIDA, Azamara, Emerald Yacht Cruises, and Ponant call on Indian Ocean itineraries, with April-May and October-November offering the calmest seas and most reliable sunshine.

Day 5
Saint Francois
Saint François Atoll in the remote outer Seychelles is a pristine coral atoll renowned for world-class saltwater fly-fishing, significant seabird colonies, and a turquoise lagoon of breathtaking beauty accessible only by light aircraft or expedition ship. Must-dos include walking the lagoon flats, watching green turtles nest, and tasting Creole octopus curry. November through April's calmer monsoon provides optimal fishing and marine conditions.

Aldabra Atoll
Aldabra is the world's largest raised coral atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the remote Seychelles outer islands where over 100,000 giant tortoises roam freely and the last flightless bird in the Indian Ocean survives. Must-dos include observing the vast tortoise population, snorkelling pristine reefs, and watching manta rays in the tidal channels.

Port Louis
Arrive 04:00
Port Louis, the cosmopolitan capital of Mauritius, is a captivating blend of French colonial architecture, UNESCO heritage sites, and one of the Indian Ocean's most vibrant food cultures — the Central Market's dholl puri and vindaye de poisson alone justify the port call. Beyond the city, the island offers Black River Gorges, the surreal seven-coloured earth of Chamarel, and the lagoons of Le Morne. The ideal cruising season runs from May through November, when the Southern Hemisphere winter delivers warm, dry days with comfortable temperatures and calm seas.
