Ultimate Seychelles Cruise Itinerary with Silhouette Cruises

A 8 day trip, travelling to Mahe Island, Praslin Island
There is arguably no better way to discover Seychelles … More  
There is arguably no better way to discover Seychelles than by boat. Each island in this archipelago possesses its own unique charm and features, but experiencing them all is far from easy. With Silhouette Cruises, however, the various islands are brought to you across a leisurely sailing itinerary, all the while providing new perspectives of this paradise with each kilometre that we sail. Our traditional vessels Sea Shell and Sea Pearl combine rustic charm with comfortable accommodation, while our modern sailing yachts Sea Star and Sea Bird provide a new dimension of comfort and spaciousness at sea within Seychelles. Our itineraries allow guests to maximise their Seychelles experience by seeing and doing as much as possible in a relatively short stay.

Day 3

La Digue Island, Seychelles


City
Day 3 7:00am - Day 3 11:00pm
Notes
A morning sail brings the vessel to La Digue, a sleepy island community where ox-carts and bicycles still remain the most common mode of transportation throughout the island. La Digue is home to the endemic Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher, and is perhaps most famous for its massive granite boulder formations at Anse Source d'Argent, which is thought to be the most photographed beach on earth. Explore the entire island by bicycle, perhaps stopping by Union Estate, a sprawling network of traditional island activities, including a copra mill, vanilla plantation, and shipyard.
