Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean offers a different kind of journey – one shaped by distance, open water and a sense of quiet connection between far-reaching places. Stretching between Africa, Asia and Australia, it brings together a diverse collection of islands and coastlines, each with its own character but tied together by the sea. The region is vast and fragmented, which is part of what makes exploring it by small ship so rewarding. A cruise can connect islands and coastal communities that would otherwise involve multiple flights and separate stays, while the journey between them becomes part of the experience. Days at sea bring a genuine sense of the scale and remoteness of the Indian Ocean, with time to settle into a more unhurried pace of travel. And this isn't simply tropical-island cruising. Depending on the route, you might travel between the coral islands and marine environments of the Seychelles or Maldives and somewhere as ecologically and culturally distinctive as Madagascar. Centuries of movement and trade between Africa and Asia have also shaped the cultures, communities and ports found throughout the region. That variety makes for an equally varied style of exploration. Snorkelli
