Atoll Explorer Cruise
Drifting through the idyllic Indian Ocean, the Atoll Explorer offers the opportunity to discover a number of the Maldives’ stunning pearl islands, and uniquely caters for divers and non-divers alike. With a friendly crew, attentive service and all inclusive on board, it is unsurprising that many guests repeat the experience year after year.
The choice of three itineraries encompasses two seven night sailings or both combined to form a 14 night cruise from Malé to Malé (please call to book the 14 night duration).
ATOLL EXPLORER
A small, comfortable ‘floating hotel’, which offers a relaxed and informal atmosphere on board. A restaurant serves international-style buffets, with indoor and open-air dining areas, and there is also a small gift shop, bar, 2 sun decks and indoor games. The on board dive school can arrange prebookable diving packages – please call for details.
