Seychelles Cruises – Small Ship Cruises
Seychelles Cruises – Small Ship Cruises
Seychelles Island Cruise Holidays
A Seychelles small ship cruise is one of the most unforgettable ways to explore this spectacular tropical archipelago. Sailing between islands allows you to discover pristine beaches, dramatic granite landscapes, crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life while enjoying the famously warm Seychellois hospitality.
Few places in the world feel as untouched as the Seychelles. Hawksbill turtles still nest on remote beaches and hidden islands invite you to swim, snorkel and relax in total tranquillity.
Travelling by small ship or yacht allows you to experience the islands at a relaxed pace. Enjoy beach BBQs on deserted shores, daily swimming stops and guided walks to waterfalls, viewpoints and hidden natural treasures.
Located in the Indian Ocean around 1,000 miles east of Kenya, the 115 islands of the Seychelles include UNESCO-listed nature reserves, lush tropical interiors and breathtaking coastlines — perfect for a relaxed yet adventurous island cruise holiday.
Why Choose a Seychelles Small Ship Cruise?
Small ship cruises offer a more personal and flexible experience than large cruise ships and are the ideal way to explore the Seychelles islands.
Access Hidden Islands
Small ships can reach secluded bays, remote beaches and hidden islands that larger cruise ships cannot access.

A Meaningful Way to Explore Seychelles

Instead of rushing between crowded ports, you will enjoy relaxed sailing, daily swimming opportunities and visits to some of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean.
Island hopping by small ship is the most natural and rewarding way to experience the Seychelles.
