Tailor the ultimate Maldivian cruise with a private charter for up to 22 guests

Maldives, January 2014 – Four Seasons Explorer’s customised charters offer groups of family and friends the opportunity to transform the Maldives fastest and most luxurious liveaboard into their own private yacht.

All-inclusive private cruise itineraries of 3, 4 and 7-nights are available; however, any number of nights (with a minimum of 3 nights) can be tailored accordingly. Charter groups can choose to use the boat as a dedicated dive, surf or leisure vessel; visit island communities in some of the world’s most isolated atolls or host an unforgettable party or celebration in areas of pristine beauty and seclusion.

But that’s just the start of the appeal: when it comes to private charters, no detail is too small for customisation. The boat’s private chefs will work with guests to design menus for each and every meal, while a pre-ordered selection of preferred spirits, wines and champagne ensures that every soirée carries a personal stamp of approval. Charter groups can also plan to have treatments with the on-board spa therapist on a remote island or embark on thrilling personal snorkelling excursions with their very own marine biologist. The boat’s highly experienced dive team offers 12 specialty courses as well as tailored programmes for each and every individual wishing to progress their skills – or simply enjoy some of the country’s finest dive sites.

The Cruise Director and his team are on hand to plan personalised daily programmes, from island excursions to fishing, water-skiing, wakeboarding or windsurfing, a beachside lunch picnic or a starlit barbecue on a deserted island. Then there are the once-in-a- lifetime wonders that a Four Seasons Explorer cruise can bring: from bow-riding dolphins to snorkelling with majestic manta rays and elusive whale sharks at remote hotspots that the boat’s team is privy to.

For even greater peace of mind, all charter rates include all food and non-alcoholic beverages, diving gear and escorted dives, snorkelling, water sports and private island excursions – not to mention the exclusive attention of 23 of the Maldives most experienced and amiable staff and on-board experts. At every moment, guests will be pampered with impeccable Four Seasons service.

With ten spacious Staterooms (215ft2 / 20m2), one Explorer Suite (484ft2 / 45m2) – the ultimate at-sea indulgence – a superlative indoor and outdoor restaurant, two bars, lounge and library plus two sun decks, Four Seasons Explorer offers a level of space and luxury unmatched in the Maldivian cruise industry. Twice daily housekeeping, complimentary wireless internet and same-day laundry facilities complete all the luxury trappings of a land-based resort. Vacations will never be quite the same again!

2014 rates are subject to 10% service charge, 11% GST and prevailing government bed tax of US$8 per person per night. Depending on the location of embarkation and disembarkation, transfers via seaplane or speedboat may be required at an extra charge.
