Indian Ocean Odyssey - 2025
March 9th to March 23th
This Cruise was organised by Noble Calidonia started in Mahe in the Seychelles Islands. Visiting Praslin and Aride Islands we sailed South calling at St. Francois Atoll before reaching the Aldabra Group of Islands. We visited Astove Island, Comoledo Atol, Picard Island and Assumption Island. Further South we reached the Madagascan Island of Nosy Tanihely. Sailing down the West coast of Madagascar we made calls at Mahajanga, Morondava and Tulear. After two days at sea we arrived at Richards Bay in South Africa. From here we visited St. Lucia Wetlands Reserve and Hiluhluwe-imfolozi Game Reserve. The cruise ended here but I contined with a four night visit to Thanda Game Reserve. Photos of this extension may be seen here.
