Maldives

The Maldives offers a postcard-perfect setting of coral islands, crystal lagoons, and colorful marine life. A top destination in the Indian Ocean known for crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and overwater bungalows. As the archipelago can’t accommodate large cruise ships, it is primarily visited by small ships and luxury cruises, creating an intimate and tranquil atmosphere. Ships typically anchor near Malé, the capital, with excursions to nearby atolls for snorkeling, diving, and dolphin watching. The Maldives delivers a serene, upscale tropical escape perfect for cruise travellers seeking beauty both above and below the sea.
