Cruising on a luxury yacht during your Holidays in the Maldives

With the Maldives made up with more than 1100 islands, the opportunities for cruising through this spectacular part of the world are endless. It certainly makes for a memorable holiday and will ensure you return to work in 2016 feeling relaxed and well rested.

Yacht Charter Broker

When it comes to yacht selection, you are spoiled for choice – from luxury catamarans, smaller sail yachts and explorer vessels to both super and mega yachts. By using a Yacht Charter Broker, you will be able to identify the right vessel for your needs, taking into account the size of your party, your exact desires and itinerary plans. A Yacht Charter Broker takes away the headache of the behind-the-scenes paperwork including legal requirements such as insurance and contracts. Acting very much as a travel agent would, they are the intermediary between you and the service provider.

What To Expect

As a discerning holiday maker desiring peace and tranquility away from holiday crowds, chartering a private yacht for your New Year cruise will ensure the privacy and special attention you appreciate. The experienced crew will plan your itinerary according to your requirements, be it a little fishing, swimming, snorkeling or surfing. When you take the family, they can embrace their favorite pastimes while you enjoy the on-board luxury of your cooled en-suite cabin. Alternatively you may want to read and relax in the air-conditioned lounge or saloon. If you want to watch the world go by, the on-deck lounge and dining area is ideal. Undercover with ocean breeze, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular view and reflect on the year that has passed.

Scheduled Yacht Tours

If you are not chartering a private yacht for your New Year holiday, you can select a pre-planned package, make new friends and see the New Year in in style. This option often includes airport transfer, accommodation on a luxury cruise yacht for seven nights and full board. There may be some added extras when it comes to island excursions. The itinerary enjoys planned stops and while anchored, you will have the opportunity to swim, dive, snorkel or simply sit and enjoy watching the activities. For New Year, the yacht may anchor and a New Year’s Eve beach dinner is enjoyed. With this option, guests may be offered the opportunity to sleep under the stars on the beach, depending of course, on the weather.

The Menu

On-board your New Year vessel, expect the menu to match the occasion. From breakfast to celebratory dinner, your needs are accommodated. Mid-morning delicacies and afternoon snacks are available, with your chef and hostess providing excellent service.

Cruising the Maldives for New Year certainly is a unique way to cross from one year to the next. Relaxing and memorable, it’s a vacation you will never forget.
