Celebrity Superyacht Charter Destination - Indian Ocean

This week Hollywood superstars, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, finished their celebrity honeymoon tour of Maldives, a chain of 1,200 mostly uninhabited islands in the Indian Ocean. Superyacht charter the celebrities used is the Arctic P, a former ice-breaker rebuilt into a superyacht by late Australian media moghul Kerry Packer.

Other honeymoon destinations that are just perfect for an Indian Ocean superyacht charter are:

• Seychelles - 115 island archipelago which still nurtures unique species of flora and fauna and the awe-inspiring natural granite structures that date from the dawn of time.
• Phuket - Thailand’s largest island, offering some of the most spectacular scenery from brilliant white sand beaches and coral islands to sheer limestone cliffs and forested inlets.
