Often referred to as ‘the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’, Socotra's dramatic landscapes include other-worldly dragon blood trees, alien-like succulents, and pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters.

Today as you sail, you’ll bask in the endless comforts of your ship. From the deck, marvel at the dramatic sea views. Relax with a nurturing facial treatment or massage in the spa or delve into the ship’s learning resources. Or, simply take refuge in your cabin and enjoy the opportunity to rest.
