Recently came back home from a week stay at the Maldives. Me & my husband were desperate for a holiday during this very loooong confinement and so we decided to plan our vacation to escape the winter and did a last minute booking through www.cruise-maldives.com. everything went smooth and they took care of all of our requests even for a short period of time. they even helped us with the PCR Test and getting it all done before we left the Maldives. i couldnt be more impressed with their service and it was the best way for us to enjoy our holiday without worrying about the pandemic as we were on a private boat trip and we're assisted with the boat crew from arrival to departure. Seriously, I did not feel any worry the whole time, just pure enjoyment and relaxation while sipping my cocktail on a sunset. ;)
