Want to go on one of the greatest, most lavish cruise trips you've ever taken? Accessible from both Soneva resorts, Soneva in Aqua, a 23-meter boat dripping with luxury with a highly skilled crew that includes a captain, mechanic, your Barefoot Butler, head chef, and of course a wellness therapist, will take you sailing around the glorious Maldives waters.

 

You can even decide to bring along a diving master, scuba instructor, digital storyteller, or even an astronomer to fully admire the wide starry night skies if you want to make the most of the experience. Soneva strives to go above and beyond to make sure their guests have an absolute blast by fusing their distinctive elegance with the spirit of freedom and adventure.

 

 

It is up to you to customize the voyage to suit your needs; whether you want to find the best diving spots with an abundance of marine life such as manta rays, dolphins, whale sharks and turtles, or hunt down deserted islands for romantic picnics, go island hopping, find world-class surf breaks or simply sail away with your loved ones while taking in the tranquility of the open, turquoise Maldivian ocean.

Soneva also provides fully designed itineraries ranging from a 1-day trip away from your resort, to 3-days, or even a 4-day voyage from which you can select, each of which includes a ton of entertaining activities to help you make your decision. Take a look at one of them:

 

Ever Soneva So Connected – Four-Atoll Adventure

 

This is a four-day cruise tour where you get to explore some of the most beautiful Atolls in the archipelago;

 

Baa Atoll; Aboard the private cruiser, you can enjoy doing sunrise yoga, spa sessions, and set off on adventurous island excursions. Enjoy delectable meals prepared by your personal chef including a sunset top-deck four-course dinner with canapés and cocktails in a romantic, candle-lit setting. Keep an eye out for the playful dolphins and manta rays swimming around nearby.

 

 

Raa Atoll; Teeming with islands and shallow coral reefs with colorful fish populations, this atoll has spectacular areas where you can leap right off the upper decks of the yacht to take a dip, and snorkeling and paddle-boarding are also guest favorites. The real highlight of the atoll is the infamous ghost island dubbed after the tsunami of 2004 so if you want a touch of spookiness, definitely muster up some courage to go check it out. After your adventures, your spa therapist will give you a massage on the yacht decks or even in the quiet of your own cabin.

 

 

Noonu Atoll: Here, you’ll find an abundance of marine wildlife in and around their reefs. Go on snorkeling/diving trips at spots like Christmas Rock, where sharks are known to visit. Afterwards, stop for lunch at The Crab Shack in Soneva Jani, recently crowned the World’s Most Romantic Restaurant by CNN.com. Return to the yacht and anchor at a location where spinner dolphins frequently enjoy putting on a performance during sunset time – depends entirely on how lucky you are though, but keep an eye out just in case.

 

 

Lhaviyani Atoll: Start your day with sunrise meditation or yoga before breakfast, then take some time to rest on the top deck and receive proper spa treatment as the yacht cruises to Lhaviyani atoll. With only five occupied islands, this atoll is perfect for diving and exploring. What’s more, after lunch you can head over to Kuredu caves where you’ll find turtles sleeping and resting in little coves underwater. At night, anchor at Vavaru Island to lie on the pristine, soft sand and have star-gazing sessions. It’s also the perfect little place to have your private beach barbeque – a must-have experience.

 

 

Experience the peak of Maldivian hospitality on this cruise and set sail back to Soneva Fushi in high spirits. You will pass the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Hanifaru Bay on your way back, which is known for having the world’s largest concentration of whale sharks and manta rays—the ideal company for you to go swimming with. Remember that adventure awaits in Soneva in Aqua the next time you’re curating your dream vacation, as there are plenty of alternative activities and itineraries from which you can tailor the perfect getaway.
