Le Ponant's Seychelle Itineraries
A veritable artist's palette of colour,
from the deep turquoise of the transparent sea to the emerald green of the
exuberant vegetation, separated by the glowing amber of fine sand beaches.
The Seychelles archipelago is like a string placed on the deep blue velvet
of Indian Ocean. The seychelles enjoy year round lush vegetation,
beneficent home to a whole number of endemic species which we invite you
to discover : the birds, giant tortoises, and coco de mer palms... For
scuba enthusiasts this region is particularly appealing - rich ad
untouched. Once more LE PONANT sets sail for a destination which combines
natural beauty, authenticity and the picturesque...
