Pegasos
The motor yacht Pegasos sails year-round in the Seychelles for Variety Cruises, a Greek company that specializes in small ships. This 1990-built vessel is certainly small, accommodating just 44 guests. And with just a few places to spend your time, including a lounge and dining room, a library, and a mini spa inside and a small dining area outside (all renovated in 2019), it is very easy to make friends.
Avid swimmers can take a cooling dip in the ocean from the swimming platform on the back of the ship, and most days there are trips to beaches for swimming, snorkeling, or diving, as well as guided tours.
What We Love
The Prices: The ship's island-hopping itinerary is a relatively affordable way to see the Seychelles, a country famous for beautiful sandy beaches, turquoise seas, and budget-busting hotels.
The Owners' Suites: These two cabins at the front of the ship are accessed via the outside deck. Don’t get too excited – they aren't that big and don’t have balconies, but they are so private that you can feel free to leave the door open and create your own little veranda.
Best Known For
Casual Atmosphere: Cruising doesn’t get much more laid-back than this. The dress code typically consists of shorts and T-shirts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and swimwear for lolling about on the sun deck or dipping into the Indian Ocean.
