Setting sail from Malé
The low-lying reef-protected atolls of the Maldives, set in the crystal clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, are the perfect place to relax and unwind. A great choice for a honeymoon or romantic getaway, the Maldives also appeal to active travellers who love watersports, snorkelling and diving. Maldivians themselves reflect a melting pot of cultures, owing to the location of the islands on the major trading routes between Europe, Africa, Arabia, India and the Orient, all reflected in the rich diversity of language, music and skills. Tourism is of course the major industry.
Our tip
99% of the Maldives is made up of sea, so if you don’t like the water, it’s probably not for you! If you do, an underwater paradise is at your fingertips.

India: Kochi
The port of Kochi, commonly known as Cochin, occupies a strategic location on India’s Malabar Coast, and its history as a trading hub is reflected in the blend of European, Chinese and Arabian influences. It’s also the gateway to the idyllic Kerala Backwaters, which are best appreciated on a houseboat cruise.
