With its friendly crew and informal atmosphere (t-shirts and shorts are the order of the day), convivial bar and partly open-air dining area, the 180-foot MV Yasawa Princess is just perfect for an intimate cruise around the remarkable atolls of the Maldives.

There are just 28 cosy and simply-furnished cabins and four passenger decks, which offer a bar (open from midday for alcoholic drinks), restaurant, small spa area, sun deck and forward observation lounge. All meals on board are included and consist of a generous breakfast buffet, a lunchtime buffet or island picnic, and a buffet dinner. There is also a self-service tea and coffee station available all day. A dhoni and tender accompany the Yasawa Princess, providing easy access to the various islands and sandbanks visited.

The ship now also boasts a newly added aft swimming platform, so you can easily get in and out of the water. Beach towels are provided while Wi-Fi is available at an extra charge, although coverage can be patchy at times. There is a fully staffed PADI dive centre on board, with a variety of courses and dive packages available - please call us for details.

Tips are not charged at a set percentage and are not included in the holiday cost, as we understand that giving a gratuity should be entirely at your discretion.

As a guideline we would recommend giving €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate. Usually, an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening, for you to drop off at reception, if you choose to, the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew.

Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.
