Cruising Destination of the month: Maldives

When thinking of the Maldives, most people will picture island resorts with lines of identical thatched bungalows promising varying levels of luxury and seclusion to lucky travellers. Whilst this remains a very popular way to experience these beautiful islands scattered in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, nothing quite compares to the freedom of cruising through the atolls on a superyacht. With a literally endless choice for island hopping, cruising in the Maldives offers some of the most exotic and scenically beautiful itineraries anywhere on the planet.

CHEURAM supports PASSION SEA

Hong Kong-based and long-time member CHEURAM Consulting Group strongly supports Passion Sea, the established non-profit organization based in Monaco. While it is apparent that the oceans and the water face an ever-increasing challenge to be free from plastic and waste, most efforts focus on arranging and improving cleaning efforts in coastal areas and on the high seas, as well as increased awareness among governments and consumers on restricting the use of plastic. Passion Sea´s activities, however, begin much earlier to make sure that pollution will not happen, in the first place.
