Unique trip to the Aldabra Atoll: Discover the Treasury of the Indian Ocean!

Mahé, Seychellen - With a very special expedition, Silhouette Cruises wants to make the beauty of the Aldabra Atoll tangible in the Indian Ocean. In May 2026, the expedition ship "Maya’s Dugong" started a 15-day trip to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is known for its untouched flora and fauna. The archipelago that is around 1,000 kilometers from the main island of Mahé is not only the largest in the Indian Ocean, but also offers an impressive biodiversity with numerous rare bird and animal species as well as a unique underwater world.

divers can look forward to impressive encounters with schools of barracudas, sharks and water turtles. The habitat is characterized by huge Gorgonia corals and colorful fishing swarms, which are optimally protected by a fishing ban on the Seychelles Iceland's foundation. The passage by the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, which are known for their intact coral reefs and rare birds, as the Fregattvogel, promises unforgettable experiences in one of the best diving areas in the world.

travel course and offers

The expedition begins and ends in Mahé and leads the participants over the Desroches Islands, the Alphonse Group and Cosmoledo, an uninhabited island that houses great bird colonies. Special features of the trip are the exploration of smaller islands, which are usually only visited by research groups. The "Maya’s Dugong", which is 43 meters long, offers space for 14 passengers and 10 crew members, which creates a very personal atmosphere on board

The expedition is only offered once in May 2026: from May 8th to 22nd. The price per person is $ 15,269, which includes the meals. In addition, there are $ 950 and $ 84 environmental taxes. In February 2024, expedition cruises to Aldabra will also take place, which are already available from $ 13,034 per person. These trips offer comprehensive diving equipment and access to experienced diving instructors, as well as free Kayak and snorkeling excursions.

sustainability and sights

Aldabra offers a flourishing wildlife that could develop almost undisturbed by human influences. The largest giant tortoise population in the world lives here, and huge seabird colonies transform the sky over the atoll into a lively spectacle. Special explorations are possible due to the low number of guests, which opens up unique insights into this fascinating ecosystem.

Silhouette Cruises was founded in 1997 and has since specialized on cruises through the Seychelles, including expedition cruises since 2015. These new trips are waiting to be discovered, and offer both relaxation and adventure in one of the last paradise of the earth.
