Indian Ocean cruise: a guide to choosing the right one

An Indian Ocean cruise lets you move from one world to another with a true sense of tropical escape: experience the contrast of volcanic terrain, Creole culture, and coral lagoons in Réunion or Mauritius; discover pink-granite beaches, crystal-clear water, and exceptional snorkeling in the Seychelles; then explore Madagascar's wilder side, with lemurs, whales, and more rugged ports of call.

The destination blends swimming, sweeping landscapes, rare biodiversity, and an island way of life in an experience that can focus equally on relaxation and discovery.

What our guests loved:

Must-see experiences on an Indian Ocean cruise

Swim in lagoons across the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar

Travelers often name the lagoons as one of the highlights of an Indian Ocean cruise. In the Seychelles, Mauritius, and around Nosy Be, they especially remember the clear water, beaches fringed with rocks or coral, easy snorkeling, and encounters with tropical fish or sea turtles.

Gain a new perspective on volcanic landscapes and wild islands

Guest feedback often highlights the dramatic natural scenery of Réunion, Madagascar, and the Seychelles. Piton de la Fournaise, Réunion's cirques, Mont Passot, and Vallée de Mai reveal another side of the destination through forests, volcanic rock, panoramas, and lush wilderness.

Experience island life in markets, ports, and villages

Many travelers also enjoy more locally focused ports of call, where they take time to browse a market, taste a Creole specialty, or discover local crafts. Port Louis, Victoria, Hell-Ville, and the small ports of the Seychelles and Madagascar stand out for colorful stalls, spices, fruit, rum, fish, and an easygoing seaside atmosphere.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Stroll through the Saint-Paul market amid hot samosas and Creole spices

On Réunion, travelers who want to go beyond the grand volcanic landscapes often appreciate the Saint-Paul market for its distinctly local atmosphere. Stalls filled with fruit, spices, vanilla, piping-hot samosas, steamed dumplings, and chili fritters offer a glimpse of everyday island life and its Creole, Malagasy, Indian, and Chinese influences.

Dinner at Bazar Labrin as Beau Vallon takes on a festive Creole atmosphere

On Mahé, travelers often mention Beau Vallon's Bazar Labrin as a more local alternative to large beach hotels. Creole food stalls, grilled fish, octopus curry, fresh juices, simple tables, and the lively waterfront atmosphere paint a more vibrant picture of the Seychelles.

End the day in Ambatoloaka amid the laid-back atmosphere of its beachfront dining spots

On Nosy Be, travelers often associate Ambatoloaka with departures for the nearby islets, but the village also stands out for its late-afternoon atmosphere. Small local establishments, bars, beach restaurants, and boat operators create a relaxed mood that contrasts with more structured nature excursions to Nosy Tanikely or Lokobe.

Learn more about your Indian Ocean cruise

The Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, for a cruise of discovery

The Red Sea is so called because of its particular color due to its high concentration of sand and mud. This almost closed sea with very warm waters separates Africa from the Middle East . The destination fascinates above all for its magnificent corals which are revealed even at a shallow depth. The Suez Canal set up to provide a passage from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean allowed cruises along the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean to start from ports located in the south of France, Italy, Greece or in Malta . The Red Sea passes through the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb to end its course in the heart of the Indian Ocean, this vast expanse of salt water of 73 million km² which extends from Africa to India, passing through Thailand and the Australia . Madagascar, Reunion, Mauritius , the Seychelles, paradise islands, strongholds of many species of fish, whales, turtles, dolphins are among the cruise destinations along the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean .

A promise of discoveries

Going on a cruise in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean promises constant wonder. Whatever route you choose, the change of scenery will always be there. A cruise through the islands of the Indian Ocean takes you to islands favored by nature where fine sandy beaches, tropical forests and volcanic landscapes abound. Nosy-Be in Madagascar, rightly nicknamed the island of perfumes, immerses you in an enchanting universe where eucalyptus, vanilla and ylang-ylang perfume the air. During a stopover in Sainte-Marie, you will rub shoulders with lemurs, the symbol of Madagascar , and may also have the chance to see humpback whales which take advantage of these calm waters to mate.

On Mauritius, the Trou aux Biches beach awaits you for swimming and other water activities. If you spend enough time on land, you will also have the chance to visit the village of Pamplemousse and the Sir Seewoos agur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, known for its rich collection of exotic and native plants. With its volcanic landscape and its famous volcano, the Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion promises a stopover in the heart of nature. Hikes through the lunar landscapes of the Bellecombe plain and the plain of sands are on the program during a cruise stopover in Reunion. If for you, a stopover in the islands is often synonymous with beaches, Reunion will not disappoint you, this island is home to thirty kilometers of sandy beaches, sometimes white, sometimes black, and more than twenty kilometers of lagoon.

Other cruise itineraries in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean take you on a discovery of the Middle East. Dubai and its dizzying towers, Jordan and the site of Petra, Israel and the age-old treasures of Jerusalem, Oman and its papaya and banana plantations are among the stops on this cruise in the Orient. Some cruises in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean take you to Sri Lanka and in particular to its capital Colombo, a city with astonishing architecture where English, Chinese, Arab, Roman and Portuguese influences form a heterogeneous mixture. If you have time, take a detour to the Elephant Orphanage, which is a few kilometers from Colombo. A cruise in the Red Sea inevitably passes through Egypt, the land of the pharaohs where you can not only approach secular pyramids like that of Giza, but also by walking through the black sand dunes of Safaqa.

The ideal season for a Red Sea and Indian Ocean cruise

The region that borders the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean enjoys a warm climate throughout the year, which allows cruising in all seasons. Although it is possible to sail on these waters in summer as in winter, it is preferable to plan your cruise in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean during the austral summer, that is to say from October to March. At this time of year, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the sun, far from the greyness of the European winter. You will also have the chance to observe the whales heading for Antarctica. If you mainly want to focus your trip on the islands of the Indian Ocean, it is best to plan your cruise between October and December. At this time of year, the vegetation is lush and the temperatures are spring-like.
