Indian Ocean Luxury Cruises

Seychelles

The Seychelles are islands in the western part of the Indian Ocean, which are perfect for touring by boat. A small luxury cruise ship is best, since it will be able to anchor in more places than a large, deep-water luxury cruise ship. Most cruises of the Seychelles leave from the capital, which is Victoria. It's on Mahe Island. From Victoria most cruises sail north to Praslin and La Diegue, and see whale sharks and octopus on the way. Check out other islands like Desroches, too. Make sure your Seychelles luxury cruise has a stop at the Aldabra atoll. That's not really an island, but rather a sunken island that acts as a haven for marine wildlife like giant tortoises, of whixh it's said that 150,000 are said to live here.
