Special festive days lie ahead of you when the EUROPA sails to beautiful locations in the Indian Ocean. Enjoy an idyllic Christmas on board and celebrate New Year’s Eve out at sea together with us.
Mark Twain once wrote: “First MAURITIUS was created, then paradise.” See the wonders of the archipelago for yourself before enjoying relaxing hours on the tropical beaches of MADAGASCAR. The vibrant capital Victoria welcomes you to unforgettable days on the SEYCHELLES: enjoy the underwater sights from the glass-bottom boat*, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vallee de Mai* on Praslin, and snorkel and relax on the beaches of La Digue and Curieuse. After two days at sea, you will return to PORT LOUIS.
* The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
