Small ship cruising vacations in Maldives

Whilst most visitors stick to a single island resort, on small ship cruising vacations in the Maldives, not only do you get your pick of the islands and your pick of the surrounding snorkelling, but a peek into local life, too. Weave between inhabited and uninhabited islands, fishing off the back of the boat and eating barbecue on deserted sandbars: deliciously tropical.
