Maldives

DAY 1 : Hulumalé
Welcome to the Maldives!

For departures up to 31 January 2025 and departures from March 2025
On arrival at the airport, you will be taken to your boat, which is waiting for you at the port of Hulhumalé for boarding at 4 pm.

For all departures from 1 February 2025 (except departures from 1 and 15 March 2025)
On arrival at the airport (you must arrive before 9am), you will take a speedboat to Dhigurah (1h30 to 2h journey) where your boat is waiting.

Take the time to get to know your gulet and make yourself comfortable in your cabin, then get to know the crew and other passengers over a welcome cocktail. Let the holiday begin! Overnight at anchor.

DAYS 2 to 7 : Cruising
Depending on the conditions, the trip will begin by sailing towards Ari's inlet. While sailing, head out on deck and watch the sea - you might just spot one of the many dolphins that swim in these waters! You will stop off on the island of Dhigurah, famous for its long stretch of white sandy beaches and its vast turquoise blue lagoon. Home to a small fishing village, it is also one of the most beautiful islands in the Maldives. Take to the water in this snorkelling paradise, where you can swim among manta rays and harmless whale sharks. Weather permitting, your captain will organise a seafood barbecue under the stars on the beach. Are you ready to feast?

Set sail for Vaavu Attol, a small deserted island in a paradise-like setting where you can soak up the sun and relax on the beach. Enjoy a walk around the island with your feet in the sand, or cool off with a swim in the shallow turquoise water.

Your cruise continues to the South Malé attol and its authentic charm. You can swim in warm, clear water. The destination is a paradise for fishing enthusiasts, and you may be lucky enough to catch a bonefish or a blue trevally. You can also explore the attol by kayak or paddle, or opt for snorkelling.

DAY 8 : Hulumalé
Your cruise is drawing to a close.

For departures up to 31 January 2025 and departures from March 2025
At the end of the morning, say goodbye to the crew and it's time to disembark. You will be taken to the airport.

For all departures from 1 February 2025 (except departures from 1 and 15 March 2025)
Disembark at Dhigurah and take a speedboat (at 6.30am) which will take you directly to Malé airport. We recommend that you book an early afternoon flight.


*Important: for all departures from February 2025, (except for departures from 1 to 8 March and from 8 March to 15 March 2025) For your convenience, embarking and disembarking will take place in Dhigurah (to reduce sailing time and allow you to fully enjoy your cruise). A speedboat transfer (1h30 to 2h trip) will be organised between Malé and Dhigurah.

    Des vacances de rêve

    La croisière en goélette a été exceptionnelle.
    L’équipage a été aux petits soins avec nous et la qualité du service a dépassée nos attentes. Le chef de cuisine nous a régalé tous les jours de plats différents.
    Le capitaine nous a emmené chaque jour sur des fonds marins différents et nous avons pu rencontrer les raies mantas , les requins nourrices et des dauphins.
    Un seul point négatif, le groupe électrogène qui fait énormément de bruit, jour et nuit.

    Crociera fantastica

    È con grande entusiasmo e soddisfazione che condivido la mia straordinaria esperienza a bordo della Pearl 111. Sin dall'inizio, il Comandante ha dimostrato una professionalità impeccabile, guidando la nave con maestria attraverso le acque cristalline dell'oceano Indiano.
    L'equipaggio ha reso il viaggio ancora più memorabile grazie alla straordinaria gentilezza e attenzione ai dettagli. Ogni membro dell'equipaggio ha contribuito a creare un'atmosfera accogliente e calorosa, facendoci sentire coccolati e a nostro agio durante tutto il soggiorno.
    La qualità del servizio è stata eccezionale, dalla pulizia delle cabine ai pasti. Ogni richiesta è stata gestita con prontezza e cortesia, dimostrando un impegno costante nel garantire la massima soddisfazione degli ospiti.
    Le Maldive sono già un paradiso sulla terra, ma questa crociera è stata resa ancora più straordinaria grazie all'eccezionale squadra a bordo. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza a chiunque cerchi un viaggio indimenticabile, arricchito dalla professionalità del Comandante e dalla premurosa attenzione dell'equipaggio. Grazie per aver reso questa vacanza alle Maldive un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile!
