Reunion Cruises

DISCOVER RÉUNION, THE WORLD’S BEST-KEPT SECRET

Shhh, Réunion Island is a well-kept secret that we want to share with you. Located in the Indian Ocean, it is an island with a chain of volcanic peaks that separate the green and humid eastern area from the dry, sheltered south and west. Cruises to Réunion Island introduce you to a culture that is a mixture of French, African, Indian and Chinese influences, which are also reflected in the island’s cuisine.[ReadMore]

THINGS TO DO IN THE WEST OF RÉUNION

The west of the island hosts its ‘Riviera’ with a string of beaches and resort towns, but Réunion isn’t an island for swimmers, divers and water sports fanatics. The warmer climes and inviting turquoise waters certainly seem perfect for marine pursuits, however the large number of sharks that bask just off its coastline isn’t conducive to water-born activities. Instead, a Réunion cruise allows you to uncover the incredible hiking routes it offers across its mountainous terrain and volcanic valleys, which lead to a number of natural features such as magnificent waterfalls. It truly is a breath-taking island and makes it a must visit on Indian Ocean cruises. Renowned for its whale watching opportunities, over 20 whale and dolphin species visit the waters surrounding the island. Not far from Réunion cruise port is Bassin des Aigrettes, a sublime series of deep blue pools and ravines with tropical waterfalls; and on the site of an old lime kiln is a centre for the conservation of sea turtles.
