Cruise in the Maldives

The Maldivian tourism includes an interesting product; the liveaboards. In Maldives such cruising vessels are normally termed a 'safari' even though an African wilderness is the least you will expect in the Maldives.

The vessels differ in their designs, size and even the services offered. Some are quite modest yatch-dhoanis, local boats adapted to the cruising needs. Others may have several rooms and offer facilities that are almost like a resort. The food is also diverse. Some boats even boast of restaurants while others have their own menus.
