Seychelles cruises: A guide to choosing the right one

A Seychelles cruise feels like sailing through an archipelago designed to be approached by sea: granite boulders on sand, clear lagoons, coco de mer forests, giant tortoises, and small islands whose atmosphere changes within a few miles.

From Mahé to Praslin and La Digue to Curieuse, the journey alternates among iconic beaches, snorkeling, bike rides, tropical gardens, and peaceful anchorages. Depending on the itinerary, the experience may focus on beaches, nature, intimacy, or expeditions to the outer islands.

Tips for choosing your Seychelles cruise

1. Choose your region

  • Mahé & Victoria : The most convenient entrance, with Victoria Harbour, the market, Beau Vallon, the gardens, the scenic roads and the islets of the St Anne's Marine Park.
  • Praslin & Curieuse : Ideal for the Vallée de Mai, coco de mer palms, Anse Lazio, Curieuse's giant tortoises, and snorkeling trips to St. Pierre.
  • La Digue & the Granitic Islands : Perfect for the most iconic image of the Seychelles, with bike, Anse Source d'Argent, granite beaches, quiet villages and a slower atmosphere.
  • Aldabra, Amirantes & the Outer Islands : Rare and more expeditionary, with atolls, seabirds, turtles, isolated beaches and routes highly dependent on sea conditions.

2. Choose your cruise style

  • Small ships & island-hopping : Variety Cruises, Ponant or Silversea are particularly relevant for Seychelles, with more intimate ships, more flexible navigation and an island, beach and nature-centerd approach.
  • Luxury cruises, upscale comfort & personalized service : Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea, Seabourn Cruise Line, Ponant or Explora Journeys are for travelers looking for a well-kept dining experience, attentive service, comfortable suites and better accompanied excursions.
  • Extended Indian Ocean voyages : MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line or Oceania Cruises may include Mahé, Praslin or La Digue on longer routes to Madagascar, Mauritius, East Africa or the Indian Ocean.
  • Expeditions & the outer islands : Ponant, Silversea, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, or Swan Hellenic are best when the program focuses on Aldabra, the Amirantes, or more remote areas, with naturalists, supervised landings, and more demanding sailing.

Seychelles cruise must-sees

Explore La Digue by bike to Anse Source d'Argent

La Digue remains one of the most popular stops in Seychelles because it is easy to explore at a relaxed pace. Travelers enjoy the bikes, the village of La Passe, flat paths, and the arrival at Anse Source d'Argent, with its granite rocks and clear lagoon.

Walk through the Vallée de Mai on Praslin

The Vallée de Mai adds a very different dimension to Seychelles. Travelers enjoy leaving the beach for an ancient forest, where coco de mer palms and the sounds of vegetation give the port call genuine natural depth.

Visit Curieuse to see the giant tortoises

Curieuse often ranks among the great cruise memories. Travelers enjoy meeting the tortoises, following trails between mangrove and beach, and combining the excursion with snorkeling around St. Pierre.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Take time at Victoria Market before heading to the beaches

On Mahé, Victoria Market provides a popular local break before a day on the lagoon. Travelers find tropical fruit, fish, spices, flowers, and everyday scenes that contrast with the islands' most photographed beaches.

Venture to Grand Anse to see La Digue's wild side

Beyond Anse Source d'Argent, Grand Anse shows another facet of La Digue. Travelers love its clear sand, its open horizon, its more present waves and this impression of rough beach, less laid out than the classic images of the island.

Swim around St. Pierre after Curieuse

The small islet of St. Pierre is often mentioned as an easy, memorable snorkeling stop. Travelers enjoy its rocks, colorful fish, clear water, and the chance to end a Curieuse excursion with a lighter moment in the lagoon.

A treasure in the middle of the Indian Ocean

Located in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands and islets. It lies 1,050 km northeast of Madagascar and 1,300 km southeast of Somalia. The archipelago covers a total area of 410 km², with the largest island measuring 27 km long and 8 km wide. The Seychelles is the only archipelago in the world composed of granite rock. In fact, 42 of its islands are the result of the formation of this rock in the open sea. Thanks to this characteristic, it boasts a number of heavenly beaches adorned with granite rock.

A top-of-the-range cruise near the paradise islands

If you decide to take a luxury cruise in the Seychelles, a tour of the islands one after the other will enable you to make the most of the sites they offer. Mahé is the archipelago's main island. It offers Takamaka beach, a picture-postcard location with white sand on the coast and turquoise-blue water. Located in the southwest of the island, it's the ideal spot for a family picnic. The beach is covered with Takamaka trees, hence the origin of its name. Depending on your preference, you can prepare your lunch at home or sample the delicacies concocted by local restaurants. A number of establishments, such as Chez Batista, offer typical Creole cuisine: chicken curry with pineapple and coconut milk, prawn colombo with coconut milk, and more.

If you'd prefer to get away from it all, Mahé has the Morne National Park. It's nestled on a hill rising to 930 meters, and can be reached by cutting through the town of Victoria.

Once you've reached the heart of the Morne National Park, you can admire the lush greenery and endemic plant species such as orchids.

You'll find everything you need to prepare your lunch, from fish to spices, fruit and even flowers. You can also visit the "Rue du Marché" to buy a souvenir made by local craftsmen.

Praslin is an ideal tour to combine with Mahé. This 26 km² island can be reached by boat or plane from Victoria harbor. Once there, you'll have the opportunity to discover the Vallée de Mai, a nature reserve classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In addition to its magnificent beach and rainforest, this island is also well known for its 7,000 cocos de mer. A visit to this park will enable you to discover the black parrots, a rare species of bird found in the Seychelles. A 15-minute boat ride from Praslin takes you to the island of La Digue. It's a tiny 15 m² plot of land, but its beauty is enough to fill you with wonder. La Digue is an island paradise with a unique landscape of granite rocks, coconut palms and clear water. It's the ideal destination if you're looking for peace and quiet. Other hiking activities, including a nature safari, can also be enjoyed on this island.
