Maldives 8 days cabin cruise
This yacht cruise will give you the most incredible chance to explore the Maldives in such a unique way, where you may truly enjoy the local hospitality first-hand and relax in the elegant vide soaking the unparalleled views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches.
As a rule, the yacht is at sea in the morning and at anchorage for night. It gives you plenty of opportunities to explore truly uninhabited islands (only 200 out of 1,200 islands are inhabited), where you may enjoy sedate sunbathing or unforgettable diving experience.
In the midst of your cruise adventure, "Theia" will take you to one of the stunning secluded islands for a palette-pleasing barbecue. Other nights you will treat yourself to some authentic Maldives dinners, accompanied by breathtaking sunsets, or challenge yourself to tune to "body beru" local dancing.
Since "Theia" is very popular in England, there is no wonder that the British passengers constitute the majority. But no matter where you come from or what activities prefer, diving or relaxed cruising, you will find the friendliest easy-going atmosphere here. The dress code is very simple: casual - no matter what part of the day or night it is.
There is a long-term and well-established crew with an experienced captain on board. They will make you at ease and very comfortable with their smooth-going professional services, so that your trip will be the most memorable in every positive aspect of it.
The yacht cruise, in this respect, has the most advantages over the holiday inland resort, where you feel like " you are missing the boat".
