Departure Sunday to Sunday

Two separate 7 days cruises are available on the ship. Cruise 1 takes in the Islands to the north the Male. Cruise 2 takes in the islands to the south of Male. So you can take a 7 or 14 day cruise visiting different islands on each cruise.
You can join the ship on a Sunday to Sunday basis or Monday to Monday, the only difference to the itinerary is that the Sunday to Sunday customers will visit Male on a Monday Morning while the Monday to Monday customers will visit Male on the Sunday afternoon.

Accommodation and Information

The accommodation on the ship is in cabins with double or twin beds with en suit shower and toilet. Each cabin is suitable for single or double occupancy.
The ship is small comfortable ship with a relaxed, very informal, atmosphere on board. There is no dressing up for smart dinners or formal entertainment in the evening; it is what it says a desert island escape from daily routine. Dress code is shorts and swimwear during the day and casual dress in the evenings both on board and on the deserted islands. Shoes are optional.

Check In Procedures Each Blue Desert Island experience begins with a warm wel­come on the Yasawa Princess. Cabin assignment and registration is handled efficiently and quickly. Your luggage is transported for you to your cabin.

Dive Times
Some Safari and Cruise boats in the Maldives only offer diving trips to a strict schedule, meaning guests have to choose between a full day’s diving – often from early morning until late at night, or no diving at all that day. On the Yasawa Princess we believe it should be you that chooses what to do from the list of services we offer. If you want to dive, you pick when and where from our list. If you want to snorkel you pick the time from our schedule. Alternatively you might just want to select your very own desert island discs on your iPod, stretch out on the beach and just relax in the sunshine.
If you do not dive often or are out of practice you might choose to use one of our dive buddies, either for a full day or just one dive. A dive buddy is not a diving instructor (you must be a fully qualified diver to use this service) but a member of the crew who is an experienced diver. They will get your equipment ready for you before the dive, give you an in depth briefing of the dive site and will help you with your underwater camera and equipment. More importantly they will never be more than two meters from your side, with a spare octopus available for your use if you need it. Dive buddies also carry full safety equipment with them. If you need to surface before the rest of the divers in the party, they will be with you just for your peace of mind, and will also assist you to remove your weights and equipment so your exit from the water back onto the boat will be much easier. A dive buddy is also available on the rib but this will reduce the number of guest divers to only two.

Arriving in Male

We make this as easy as possible for you by providing you with a refreshing drink and a cool towel! If you arrive on a morning flight some visitors to the Maldives like to take a light lunch with a drink, then have a siesta in their air conditioned cabin. This refreshes them ready for the evening meal.
