Your luxurious yacht cruise begins in Victoria, one of the smallest capitals in the world, located on Mahé Island. From here, you'll be transferred to your superyacht to embark on your journey through the Seychelles archipelago. |
| 26th26 | FebFeb | 202323 | Sainte Anne Island, Seychelles | | |
Located just five kilometres off the coast of Mahé, Sainte Anne Island is home to the Sainte-Anne Marine National Park. A must-see destination for anyone visiting the Seychelles, pristine sandy beaches are bordered with granite rock and coconut trees, while crystal-clear waters and colourful coral reefs are home to a wide variety of marine animals. After discovering Saint Anne, you will be able to explore Cousin Island. Once a coconut plantation, it is now a vibrant and diverse ecosystem with a surprising diversity of species and habitats. Thanks to conservation efforts, the island has also become one of the most significant nesting sites for turtles. |
| 27th27 | FebFeb | 202323 | Praslin Island, Seychelles | | |
Forty kilometers (25 miles) northeast of Mahé, Praslin is just a 15-minute flight or 45-minute ferry ride away. Praslin, at 11 km (7 miles) long and 4 km (2.5 miles) wide, is the second-largest island in the Seychelles. First settled as a hideaway by pirates and Arab merchants, the island's original name, Isle de Palmes, bears testament to its reputation as home of the Vallée de Mai UNESCO World Heritage Site: the only place in the world where the famous Coco de Mer, the world's heaviest nut, grows abundantly in the wild. Praslin's endemic palm forests shelter many rare species, and the island is a major bird-watching destination. Surrounded by a coral reef, majestic bays, and gorgeous beaches, Praslin is much quieter and less developed than Mahé. With few real "sights," the pleasures of Praslin largely involve relaxing in or exploring its stunning beaches and fantastical forests. The second-largest island of the inner Seychelles, Praslin Island boasts peaceful beaches, turquoise waters and unique vegetation. It has extensive tracts of tropical forests, home to birds such as the bulbul and the Seychelles black parrot. The island is also famous for the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Vallée de Mai, an extraordinary botanical park where you'll find one of the rarest and most unusual plants in the world, the Coco de Mer. |
| 28th28 | FebFeb | 202323 | Grande Soeur, Seychelles | | |
Grande Soeur Island is celebrated for its two white sandy beaches and clear water. Protected by coral reef, it is one of the most beautiful islands of the Seychelles. After spending some time in Grand Soeur, you will discover Curieuse Island. Originally named "Ile Rouge' due to its red-coloured earth, it was declared a National Marine Park in the 1970s. |
| 1st01 | MarMar | 202323 | La Digue, Seychelles | | |
La Digue Island is an island like no other. It is the smallest of the three populated islands in the Seychelles, but the tranquillity will make it feel like you’re the only one there. The stunning surroundings should be soaked up from cycling through the vanilla plantations to lying on the white-sandy beaches, your time on La Digue should be cherished. There is a little more to do on La Digue compared to the smaller, uninhabited islands where you can enjoy full moon tours, surfing and snorkelling with a local. As the third-most-populated island in the Seychelles, La Digue is a nostalgic paradise offering tranquillity and tropical scenery. The natural coastline of golden beaches, palm trees and granite boulders is also home to the rare black Seychelles paradise flycatcher. |
