Indian Ocean Islands
3 current voyages to Indian Ocean Islands
The western Indian Ocean holds some of the most isolated islands on earth: the granitic Seychelles, Madagascar with its unmatched endemic wildlife, and the French outposts of Réunion and Mayotte.
These are long-distance itineraries, often linking Sri Lanka or East Africa with the islands in between. Ships are small, landings are by Zodiac or tender, and the wildlife — lemurs, giant tortoises, nesting seabirds — is the reason to go.
Every voyage below is operated by Noble Caledonia, with current dates and fares from their published programme.
