"Truly Magical" were the words used by Mr. and Mrs. Illingworth when they made their first visit to the Maldives some years ago.

Here at Desert Island Cruising we think the words fit perfectly with the cruising experience you get on the Yasawa Princess in the Maldives.

The informal atmosphere on the Yasawa Princess, along with its relaxed dress code, allows our friendly staff to provide you with a unique experience as you sail though this tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean

While aboard the Yasawa Princess, apart from relaxing, there are plenty of activities for you to enjoy and explore.  We offer first class snorkelling and diving.  No need to worry if you haven't tried it before, our 'Dive Buddies' will not only guide you to the most beautiful dive sites in the Indian Ocean, our experts will train you to dive safely.

We also offer the highest quality fishing in the beautiful deep blue ocean.  A local guide will take you to the fish to make sure that your reels will be screaming.

You will also witness the real Indian Ocean lifestyle by stopping off at a number of different islands, eating on a paradise beach, night explorations and more.
