CRUISE INTO A WINTER OF WONDERS IN THE MALDIVES
Join us for our new Winter of Wonders cruises from October 31, 2022 to May 1, 2023, aboard Four Seasons Explorer. Embark upon a different adventure each day with endless bucket-list encounters across five Maldivian atolls, from coral-ceilinged caves to camera-happy sharks, swim-through tunnels to a fish-filled wreck. Dive and snorkel along remote reefs, savour sandbank barbecues and indulge in spa treatments on uninhabited island before retiring to the sleek, spacious en-suite cabins of our private, three-deck catamaran to prepare for a new day of Maldivian magic.

Winter of Wonders Offers
The thing I like best about the cruise is seeing snorkellers as well as divers get the chance to be inspired by the underwater world through amazing encounters with manta rays, whale sharks and huge pods of dolphins and pilot whales.
