Sail from Dubai to the Seychelles via India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives on this 16-day odyssey. Our first port of call is Khor Al Fakkan, set in a glorious bay, followed by Oman's little capital, Muscat, and some haggling in the souk. Leaving the Gulf states, we spend two relaxing days at sea before reaching Mumbai where we enjoy a couple of days absorbing the sheer color and panache of India's largest city. Continuing south along the coast, we stop at Mormugao in Goa and then sail on to Sri Lanka's vibrant capital, Colombo. Turning west across the Indian Ocean, we head for the Maldives islands, set in clear waters teeming with tropical fish, and then reach our final port of call in the equally idyllic Seychelles.
