Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Port Louis, Mauritius

   Mauritius

   

   Port Louis, the cosmopolitan capital of Mauritius, is a captivating blend of French colonial architecture, UNESCO heritage sites, and one of the Indian Ocean's most vibrant food cultures — the Central Market's dholl puri and vindaye de poisson alone justify the port call. Beyond the city, the island offers Black River Gorges, the surreal seven-coloured earth of Chamarel, and the lagoons of Le Morne. The ideal cruising season runs from May through November, when the Southern Hemisphere winter delivers warm, dry days with comfortable temperatures and calm seas.
