Maldives Association of Yacht Agents (MAYA) has said that cruise liners have started returning to the Maldives following amendments to regulations governing the operation and mooring of tourist vessels.
After a long hiatus, a cruise liner has docked near Male' harbour, with the first vessel of the season, Aida Bella. Over 2,000 tourists disembarked in Malé from the Aida Bella, a cruise liner operated by a private German company.
