FIRST-CLASS | CRUISE: Explore some of the loveliest islands in the Indian Ocean on this intimate cruise. Journeying aboard the M/Y Pegasus, you’ll spot giant tortoises on an uninhabited island, visit a bird sanctuary, lounge on one of the world’s best beaches, and have plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and suntan.
This 5-day Seychelles vacation takes you on a cruise to remote islands in the archipelago nation. It features first-class accommodations and small group tours.
Your journey begins in Port Victoria on the island of Mahe, where you’ll board the M/Y Pegasus, your 4-star cruising vessel. M/Y Pegasus will be your home for the next four nights and provide all the comforts of a first-class hotel, including rooms with great sea views, a comfortable lounge, an onboard library, a gourmet restaurant, and a swimming platform on deck. During your next few days, you’ll journey to St. Anne Island, Curieuse, Cousin Island, St. Pierre Island, and Praslin.
Explore the island of Curieuse, which used to be a leper colony and is now inhabited only by giant tortoises that roam freely. Venture through a mangrove forest and enjoy a beach barbeque before moving onto Cousin Island, where you’ll visit a bird sanctuary that’s the breeding ground for a quarter-million birds. Reach Anse Lazio, one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, where you’ll have time at leisure to enjoy the beach and waters. On Aride, you’ll hike to the island’s peak and spot the delicate speckled flower, Wright’s gardenia, which only grows on the island. Connect to St. Pierre Island for an afternoon of swimming and snorkelling, then head to Baie St. Anne on Praslin.
The next morning, you’ll disembark and connect to the airport for onward travels.
