The Indian Ocean serves up the kind of weather that dreams—and luxury island getaways—are made of. Warm, tropical breezes glide over turquoise waters, and the sun shines generously for most of the year. Temperatures stay balmy, making it a paradise for beach lovers, divers, and anyone looking to soak up island life.

Two seasons define the rhythm here: the dry season, with endless sunshine and calm seas, and the wet season, when warm tropical showers roll in, refreshing the lush landscapes before giving way to blue skies once more. Cyclones occasionally make an appearance in some regions, but the ocean’s natural beauty is constant. Whether you're lounging in the Maldives, sailing past Seychelles, or diving off the coast of Madagascar, the Indian Ocean’s weather is always set to "paradise mode."

Singapore

Singapore

The jewel in Southeast Asia’s crown, Singapore is a fascinating city packed with colonial-era buildings, new-age architecture, designer shopping and traditional temples. The city’s diverse and world-famous restaurant scene is due to the huge mix of cultures, with Chinese, Malay, Western and Indian flavours coming together to create unbeatable dining experiences. One of the most popular city stops on an Indian Ocean cruise, Singapore is famously the cleanest capital in Asia, with pristine streets, pretty parks and more luxury hotels than visitors to fill them.

The Maldvives

The Maldvives

Made up of more than 1000 coral island, formed around 26 atolls, the Maldives is the one of the true paradises of the world. The tropical island-haven is best known for its private island resorts and luxurious overwater bungalows, which can be found adorning the pages of the world’s top travel magazines. Incredibly popular with honeymooners, our Indian Ocean Cruises which visit the Maldives allow you to explore some of these incredible islands in style, returning to your luxury cruise liner at the end of a busy day spent sunbathing, snorkelling and relaxing in the sun.

PHUKET, THAILAND

PHUKET, THAILAND

Thailand’s star island has style, the most luxurious resorts in the country and beaches for all kinds of travellers – from those looking to party until the sun comes up to those searching for their own private stretch of sand. An Indian Ocean cruise which stops in Phuket gives passengers the chance to play castaway on this paradise island, with plenty of water-based activities and longtail daytrips to neighbouring, remote islands. The island’s capital, Patong, has nightlife aimed at all ages, with shopping, bars and restaurants open almost 24/7. For a taste of Phuket’s quieter, more natural side, visit the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, where waterfalls and lush rainforests can be explored.

Once referred to as the Garden City of the East, Sri Lanka’s busy capital is a must see stop on an Indian Ocean Cruise. The seaside city’s colonial heritage is evident in many of its neighbourhoods and buildings, but in recent years Colombo has begun to rebrand itself as a luxury destination. More swanky new hotels and resorts open each season and, as the most convenient base to explore many of Sri Lanka’s biggest sights, the city caters for the increasing thongs of tourist with delicious dining options and plenty of day tours.
