INDIAN OCEAN
Spend a relaxing day in Mauritius before joining the ultimate Indian Ocean cruise onboard
Costa neoClassica. Newly renovated, this intimate and relaxed ship is part of a new "slow
cruising" concept, where flexible dining times, menus that reflect the flavours of the
destination, and extra attentive service is combined with unique itineraries, designed to
make the most of each destination; expect plenty of stopovers and exclusive excursions
in small groups. Scattered like emerald jewels across the deep blue sea, the Indian Ocean
is an idyllic setting for leisurely cruising. Spend three days in spellbound Seychelles
where soft white beaches, dotted with scenic granite boulders, overlooking crystal-clear
waters, share the scene with lush forests. Learn about the charming giant turtles and
listen to rare birds' singing. Then spend three days in exotic Madagascar. The "island
of perfume" will inebriate you with the fragrances of its essences and spices. Lemurs,
baobabs, deserts, rainforests and unique flora and fauna make Madagascar an incredible
destination. Next discover tropical Reunion, home to active volcanoes, canyons and
majestic mountains before one last overnight stop in Mauritius; swim, snorkel and enjoy
the tropical sunset on one of the many postcard picture beaches.
