Cruising a different Ocean with Virgin Holidays
For those that have experienced Caribbean cruising, a new Indian Ocean cruise
could be just the ticket. Embarking on the 14 night cruise passengers
take in Mauritius, the Seychelles, Mombassa, Comoros Islands, Madagascar and
Reunion, before returning to Mauritius.
Whilst in Mauritius venture into Port Louis, the countries capital, where
you can explore the local shops and have a cocktail on the harbour front. After
Mauritius the boat sets sail to Mahé in the Seychelles, a stunning paradise
deep in the Indian Ocean. Mombassa in Kenya is a perfect contrast to
the islands of the Seychelles with long white sand beaches, a vibrant buzz
and unspoilt scenery. The Comoros islands are next to explore, the volcanic
islands are stunning with some magnificent coral reefs which offer great snorkelling
conditions. The ship then heads to Madagascar, a perfect place to spot
giraffes and zebra in their natural habitat on one of the organised safaris. Final
stop is Reunion, a small island 200km South West of Mauritius; the volcanic
island is beautifully unspoilt and peaceful.
Book by the 25th of September for Jan/Mar ’08 departures and the 14
night Jewels of the Indian Ocean cruise starts from £1,749, with kids
prices starting from £699. Prices include return direct flights
to Mauritius on Virgin Atlantic, transfers, and cruising on a full board basis.
