It would take a lot to lure holidaymakers away from the Maldives’ pristine beaches, but a luxury underwater excursion aboard the latest addition to the Deepflight fleet of submarines, the Super Falcon 3S, would do it.

The world’s first three-seater submarine, launched exclusively at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru in April, is a battery-powered eco-friendly vehicle that will whisk two guests (along with a professional pilot) on a cruise through the underwater wonderland of Baa Atoll, the Maldives’ only Unesco biosphere reserve.

Sandwiched between picturesque rice paddies and beaches, the village of Canggu on Bali’s southern tip has long been the secret of locals and a few adventurous surfers. But now, with the opening of Como Uma Canggu, travellers after a more luxurious experience have somewhere to lay their heads.

Clocking in at 362 metres long and with a capacity of 6,680 passengers (plus a 2,200-person crew), Royal Caribbean’s US$1.95-billion Symphony of the Seas—the biggest and most expensive cruise ship ever built—is a sight to behold.

Boasting all the trappings of an ultra-luxe resort and more, the 18-decker houses the tallest waterslide at sea, twenty-two restaurants, live entertainment including a stage production of the Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray and seven themed ‘neighbourhoods’, such as the ship’s Central Park, which is packed with 12,000 tropical plants.

The most spectacular room is the 1,346-square-foot family suite, equipped with an in-room slide, a floor-to-ceiling Lego wall, a popcorn machine and a full-size whirlpool. The cruise is based in Barcelona for its first season and begins Caribbean voyages in November.
