MV Yasawa Princess

With its friendly crew and informal atmosphere (t-shirts and shorts are the order of the day), convivial bar and partly open-air dining area, the 180-foot MV Yasawa Princess is just perfect for an intimate cruise around the remarkable atolls of the Maldives.

There are just 28 cosy and simply-furnished cabins and four passenger decks, which offer a bar (open from midday for alcoholic drinks), restaurant, small spa area, sun deck and forward observation lounge. All meals on board are included and consist of a generous breakfast buffet, a lunchtime buffet or island picnic, and a buffet dinner. There is also a self-service tea and coffee station available all day. A dhoni and tender accompany the Yasawa Princess, providing easy access to the various islands and sandbanks visited.

The ship now also boasts a newly added aft swimming platform, so you can easily get in and out of the water. Beach towels are provided while Wi-Fi is available at an extra charge, although coverage can be patchy at times. There is a fully staffed PADI dive centre on board, with a variety of courses and dive packages available - please call us for details.

Useful Information

Disabled Facilities

• Our ships are not adapted for wheelchair access; if you are intending to take a wheelchair with you please contact us.
• Due to popularity of river cruising when there is more than one ship in port the ships could be moored alongside each other. If our ship happens to be moored away from the landing pier disembarking could involve walking across gang planks and the sun deck of other ships.
• River cruises operate with a smaller crew than ocean cruises and do not have the crew available to personally attend to passengers with reduced mobility therefore a travelling companion would need to be able to help with any physical needs.
• The itinerary we include with our river cruises involves shore excursions visiting places with cobbled streets which can be on an incline making navigation of these streets difficult for anyone with reduced mobility.
• Cruising down the Rhine, Danube or any of the European rivers we offer gives you the opportunity to take in the spectacular scenery and there is a lot to enjoy from the comfort of the ship. If you can’t do many shore excursions, river cruising in Europe can still be very enjoyable and worthwhile, please contact us with any concerns you may have.

Dress Code

There is no requirement to bring formal dress; smart/casual is acceptable for both day and evening as there is no dress code enforced. However men are requested not to wear shorts for dinner or vest tops at any time in the dining room. Men may wish to wear a jacket and tie for dinner. The Captain’s Dinner offers the opportunity, should you wish, for more special attire.

Dietary Requirements

We cater for most dietary requirements; please ensure you contact the reservations team when making your booking.

Medical Facilities

If you have any concerns about your health whilst on tour, please see your Cruise Director or Concierge. They will be able to advise you about chemists and availability of doctors, etc. In an emergency you could always phone our emergency number as issued on your itinerary. There are no on-board medical personnel, although specific crew members will have basic first aid training. However, the ship can stop at any time to transfer any passenger requiring emergency medical attention to local medical facilities.

Laundry Service

A limited laundry service is available on board, except on the day of disembarkation. A dry cleaning service is not available.

Smoking and E-Cigarette Policy

Smoking, including e-cigarettes, is not permitted anywhere on board except for designated areas on the sun deck.

More and more countries in Europe are adopting a stricter legislation on smoking in public places. Smoking is not allowed on any public transport and there may be other restrictions in hotels, bars and restaurants.
