Cruise in Seychelles: The Garden of Eden
The Seychelles Islands are unique! A place where the purest nature has been preserved almost intact, offering the chance to live incredible experiences amidst paradisiacal beaches, crystal-clear waters, and green peaks covered in virgin forests.
The Seychelles Cruise: The Garden of Eden invites us to sail among some of the 115 islands of the archipelago, enjoying the most beautiful beaches in the world and the fascinating local Creole culture. We'll touch the three main islands, Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, with the possibility of visiting some of Seychelles' most renowned spots, such as Anse Lazio and Anse Source d'Argent beaches or the Valley of May, where the coco-de-mer grows – the world's heaviest seed.
The Pegasos yacht features 21 spacious and comfortable Ocean View cabins, all equipped with large windows, private bathroom with shower, TV, air conditioning, and a safe. During navigation, you can relax in its lounge, peruse the library, or enjoy a pleasant meal with sea views. The decks are furnished with comfortable sunbeds, and, when weather and anchoring conditions allow, you can take a dip from the platform located at the stern.
A Seychelles cruise is, ultimately, a perfect way to discover the natural beauty and rich culture of the Seychelles Islands while enjoying a relaxing holiday.
The Seychelles Cruise: The Garden of Eden operates throughout the year, with departures on Saturdays from Mahé.
