Come aboard Le Dumont d'Urville for an unforgettable voyage.

In collaboration with The Explorers Club, this unique voyage will feature John Heminway, a filmmaker and author whose pioneering explorations of Africa began at the age of 16. Winner of multiple Emmy, Peabody, and journalism awards, he has dedicated his career to the far corners of the world—in particular Africa and the Indian Ocean—their astonishing inhabitants, rare and endangered species, and more.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Inner Islands of the Seychelles, where every moment seems suspended in time. This Eden lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. They unfurl their ribbons of white sand as the mangroves sway in the trade winds. Giant tortoises roam free on the beaches, colourful birds sing through the lush vegetation and the emerald waters reveal a magnificent seabed. Aride, Remire, Curieuse... Still wild and mysterious, these scattered islands form a chain of idyllic ports of call, revealing their secrets and inviting you to spend an unforgettable and relaxing time away from it all.
