Andaman Sea
The Andaman Sea is fast becoming one of the premier cruising destinations in the world, renowned for its sheer beauty, bio diversity, and perfect weather conditions during the dry season. There are 4 distinct areas offering everything a tropical cruise could offer:
Langkawi & Butangs
Langkawi, on the northwest coast of Malaysia, is an internationally served resort desination and a duty free island set against the backdrop of a beautiful mountainous rainforest. With 3 marinas, and 99 islands in the surrounding area, including the beautiful Butang group, Langkawi is an established yachting haven. Cruises can also venture south to the island of Penang. Here vistors can enjoy both tranquil tropical sailing and the colourful, exciting aspects of this bustling & multicultural island.
Phuket & Phang Nga Bay
120 miles north of Langkawi is Phang Nga Bay, enclosed on 3 sides by Phuket and the Thai mainland, and dotted with over 100 islands. The area is notable for its breathtaking geography with steep karst mountains rising vertically from sea, hidden turquoise lagoons and idyllic beaches. Phang Nga Bay also has the legendary islands and beaches of Phi-Phi and Krabi, with trendy lounge bars, fire dancers, and full moon parties. Northwest of Phuket lie the Similan and Surin Islands which have a deserved reputation for offering the best diving in Thailand. Whale sharks, Manta rays and Leopard sharks are common sightings in a dramatic boulder-covered underwater world. Not just a divers paradise, above water the beautiful landscapes harbour a balanced and untouched tropical ecosystem. Many species are endemic, including the Nicobar Pigeon and Hairy Leg Mountain Crab.
Andaman & Nicobar
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands, part of the Union Territory of India, are isolated, pristine, with deserted white sand beaches and virgin jungles. Located 400 miles west of Phuket, there are over 500 islands extending north to south, with India’s only active volcano. Some islands are uninhabited, others rich in aboriginal culture, such as the out-of-bounds North Sentinel, where indigenous inhabitants are among the last people to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization.
The Andamans are also a diver’s paradise characterised by stunning underwater visibility, an abundance of abnormally large fish and sharks, huge barrel sponges and fan corals, pinnacles, and vertical wall dives.
Mergui
The Mergui Archipelago of Burma is one of the last remaining untouched paradises on earth. An archipelago of 800 virtually uninhabited islands, Mergui is characterised by dense mountainous rainforests, white silica sand beaches and perfect natural bays providing ideal shelter for visiting yachts. Diving and snorkeling here is superb, with great variety in the underwater topography. On the beaches macaques and monitor lizards can be seen feeding on crabs at low tide. Hornbills and sea eagles fly from the rainforest canopy, and the dense jungle is home to large fauna; tracks have been found of the rare Asian rhinoceros; crocodiles have been seen here too. A cruise in the Mergui is the ultimate in tropical paradise exploration.
