Seychelles & Madagascar 2025

Thursday, November 7, 2025 to Sunday, November 23, 2025

This is an extraordinary cruise for travelers who love the natural world and all its 
wonders. Located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the 115 islands that make up the Seychelles are known for crystal-clear waters, endless stretches of powdery white-sand beaches, its diverse and vibrant marine ecosystem, and a range of unique plant and animal species.

After two days in Mahé, embark the 59-cabin Island Sky and cruise to the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, then travel to the remote Alphonse group, and finally to Aldabra, a vast coral atoll that is home to the world’s largest population of giant tortoises. A team of naturalists will lead several guided nature walks, plus there will be many opportunities for snorkeling among colorful reef fish, interesting coral formations, and various marine creatures.

Continue to Madagascar, a thousand-mile island boasting an impressive variety of spectacular landscapes from pristine coral reefs and coastal mangroves to virgin rain forests and native groves of Baobab trees. Geographically isolated for millions of years, nearly all of Madagascar’s intriguing animals and plants are found nowhere else on Earth, including nearly 100 varieties of lemurs.
