Cruise to Mauritius

Yes, there are luxury cruises to the Indian Ocean paradise of Mauritius! Several luxury cruise lines include Port Louis (the main port and capital of Mauritius) in their itineraries: Ponant, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas and Oceania Cruises. 

Mauritius has several large nature and marine parks. Many cruises give you the opportunity to join excursions to the amazing Casela Nature Park for encounters with wildcats, zebras, monkeys, giant tortoises, or "blue safari" excursions in a submarine to colourful coral reefs supporting aquatic flora and fauna. Other excursions take you to the south of the island, famed for its spectacular volcanic landscapes and unspoiled natural beauty.

You can also experience the beauty of Mauritius’ coloured earth geopark at Chamarel. This rare and impressive geological phenomenon offers a stunning display of rainbow-hued sand dunes set against lush green vegetation. 

With its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife and luxurious resorts, Mauritius is an ideal destination for your honeymoon. MSC cruises to Mauritius offer discounted staterooms for honeymooners. 

The cruise port in Mauritius is in the island's capital, Port Louis. Be aware that if you're planning to fly in and cruise, or visa-versa, the island's international Airport is in Plaine Magnien at the opposite end of the island – which is an overland journey of around 50 kilometres.

Having been colonised by several countries in its history, Mauritius is now a vibrant blend of French, African, English, Chinese and Indian cultures. When your cruise visits the tropical islands of Mauritius you can learn about its unique history and cultural diversity through its many festivals, museums, archaeological sites, temples, mosques, churches and of course its deliciously eclectic cuisine! 

Although Mauritius is famous for its luxury resorts, accommodation catering for all kinds of tastes and budgets is available throughout the island. From secluded 5-star beach resorts and hotels to boutique B&Bs, inland eco-lodges and glamping opportunities, there's something for whatever holiday you'd like! 

The best times to cruise to Mauritius are between May and June or October to December to avoid the humid and rainy peak of summer and the shortened days of winter. 

Thanks to the melting pot of French, African, Indian and Chinese cultures that make up the Mauritian heritage, the island serves deliciously diverse cuisine shaped by them, with uniquely local twists. Some of the best restaurants in Mauritius are in the luxury hotels that hug the beaches, many of which accept non-guest reservations.
