After leaving Australia at the end of July 2023, Swedish cruisers Anna and Arthur Eriksson took the testing southern Indian Ocean route to South Africa via Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling, Rodrigues, Mauritius and Reunion.

The voyage of 5664 nautical miles took them three months, with a total of 39 days at sea. While known as a difficult route to take, Anna says the passage was testing but exciting and well worth the effort.
