Maldives is considered the foremost luxury tropical holiday destination of recent times, and this reputation is richly deserved. The pearl string of atolls nestled within the clear, warm aquamarine waves boast beaches of powdered white sands and are adorned with swaying fronds of palm. Most of the islands exude the matchless tranquility of areas totally devoid of human habitation, and the larger island contains a lush variety of flora in full bloom. Beneath the translucent sea water lie gardens of vibrant coral and rainbow shoals of tropical fish, not to mention a boundless population of acrobatic dolphins!
The islands also boasts some of the most luxurious resorts in the world, and a bewildering variety of sea sports such as sailing and diving, cruises, island-hopping trips and colourful cosmopolitan nightlife are all on offer to the lucky Maldivian tourists. Although these islands may seem like a holiday paradise tailor-made by the gods for the fortunate few, it is important to realize and understand that the country also holds a proud culture and heritage that spans several centuries.
With all these wonders on offer, the biggest dilemma the tourist faces is how best to pack as many of this holiday havens sights and sounds into a single vacation. The answer that is ever increasing in popularity comes in the form of boat and ship cruises.
Whether you book one of the many luxury ocean liners or an intimate day trip hosted by your resort of choice, taking a cruise over the blue-green waters of the isles is an experience no Maldives holiday is complete without. These excursions provide the ultimate way to see the majestic whales and exuberant dolphins at close quarters, and the sight of hundreds of flying fish leaping over the dawn-lit sky is one of the most captivating moments one can experience on a cruise. Tourists can dive into the deeps or the shallows and explore undersea life, enjoy the playful waves ideal for surfing and parasailing or make new friends over an on-board game of carom or cards.
There are many different kinds of cruises that offer journeys of varying lengths and times, but the most popular and well-recommended way to conclude your memories of the Maldives islands is by heading out to sea at the close of day. Special sunset cruises are offered by many of the Maldives resorts at reasonable prices, where boats holding intimate gatherings set out to capture that perfect moment when the sinking sun kisses the horizon, lighting the waves aflame in brilliant colours of gold and orange. One can share a toast of champagne with a loved one and enjoy the beautiful sunset vista while being serenaded by on-board singing troupes. It is one of the most enchanting and romantic ways to bid adieu to the ideal paradise retreat.
