Isles of Spice & Sapphire Seas: Thailand, Sri Lanka, Maldives & Seychelles


Cruise overview
The natural and historic treasures of Sri Lanka combine with idyllic isles in the Indian Ocean. Embark on an extraordinary adventure that contrasts the vibrant cultures of Sri Lanka and India with remote paradises of the Indian Ocean. In Hambantota, seek out elusive leopards in the dense jungles or exotic birds in the serene wetlands before sailing for the historic Fort district in Sri Lanka’s capital of Colombo. Then you’ll experience the atmospheric heritage of Cochin, India, as you marvel at the iconic Chinese fishing nets and glide peacefully through the lush Kerala backwaters. In the Maldives, pure indulgence becomes your daily reality as you plunge into crystal-clear waters and snorkel in the turquoise lagoons. On the other side of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles promise equally enchanting isles. Wander beneath the ancient canopy of rare palms in Praslin’s Vallée de Mai, and relax beside the rose-hued granite boulders that adorn the beaches of La Digue.
Itinerary
Phuket
Though few tourists linger here, Phuket Town, the provincial capital, is one of the more culturally interesting places on the island to spend half a day. About one-third of the island’s population lives here, and the town is an intriguing mix of old Sino-Portuguese architecture and the influences of the Chinese, Muslims, and Thais that inhabit it. The old Chinese quarter along Talang Street is especially good for a stroll, as its history has not yet been replaced by modern concrete and tile. And this same area has a variety of antiques shops, art studios, and trendy cafés. Besides Talang, the major thoroughfares are Ratsada, Phuket, and Ranong roads. Ratsada connects Phuket Road (where you’ll find the Tourism Authority of Thailand office) to Ranong Road, where there’s an aromatic local market filled with fruits, vegetables, spices, and meats.
