We sail the Indian Ocean on the Akoya Pearl. It has five comfortable cabins accommodating 10 guests in a mix of twin and double rooms. The sundeck has sunbeds and loungers, the ideal place to relax with the group as you soak up the sun and relive the day's adventures. The boat also has a bar serving beer, wine, cocktails and spirits, which you can enjoy in the indoor and outdoor lounge areas, plus there's a dining area for group meals.



Worth knowing



We strongly recommend booking early to secure the room of your choice.

If you are a very light sleeper, we recommend earplugs.

A single supplement is available but there is very limited availability.

There’s a ‘no shoe’ policy on board.

If you require pre- or post-tour accommodation, please request at the time of booking. Late requests, particularly within 60 days before departure, and especially during high season (December to the end of April) may not be possible as accommodation is limited with properties having limited numbers of rooms.
