Seychelles mini cruise

Planet

Small ship cruising is a low impact way to discover the Seychelles - our small ships run on Marine Diesel Oil (unlike larger ships that use non refined Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) which is non-refined, polluting and highly toxic.) Our cruises most often anchor at sea and bring guests into the islands on small zodiacs, significantly reducing the environmental impact on the shoreline.

Single-Use Plastic Reduction: One of our guiding principles is to positively impact the areas in which we explore. That is why we are proud to have successfully completed a single-use plastic reduction program across our entire fleet, minimizing single-use plastic items. Such items include straws, stirrers, cups, lids, bottled water, among other items, as well as items wrapped in plastic; single-portion items such as butter cups, jams or yogurts. Our goal is to completely eliminate single-use plastics on board all our vessels.. Our hope is that our actions will prompt other cruise operators to do the same.

We are the first cruise line to sign up to the Tourism Declares Climate Emergency initiative, which exists to enable everyone in tourism to implement the Climate Action Plans needed to halve sector emissions by 2030.

People

Our cruise itineraries take us to small islands which are not often visited by large cruise ships, and are designed to have minimal impact on local societies and ecosystems, without compromising our product quality or the guest experience. On our Seychelles cruises you can expect local food as our dedicated crew shop locally - helping both the local economy and reducing our food miles.
Our cruise directors are familiar with the islands we are visiting, and they are always there to introduce you to the local producers and the traditional places to visit.
The guides for our optional excursions are all local experts, meaning that our guests get true expertise and our impact on the islands we visit is positive and sustainable.
Our guiding principle is to 'Create a Better World at Sea', which means looking to deviate away from areas of over tourism, sourcing goods locally for use on board and above all ensuring that we have a positive impact on the destinations we visit.
