  • Several cruise ships are scheduled to call at Port Louis from 20 November 2026, including large vessels carrying more than 2,000 passengers. Cruise-call days may mean heavier traffic around the harbour, cruise terminal, and popular attractions (cruisedig.com).

Safety and health

  • Mauritius has an active chikungunya outbreak. Prevent mosquito bites throughout the day and night with repellent, covered clothing, and screened or air-conditioned accommodation (cdc.gov | wikivoyage.org).
  • Dengue is also a risk. Use mosquito protection even in urban and coastal areas, as the mosquitoes that spread it can bite during daylight hours (cdc.gov | wikivoyage.org).
  • After heavy rain, avoid floodwater, mud, and contaminated soil, and cover cuts or burns because of melioidosis risk (cdc.gov).
  • Wear water shoes when entering the sea because beaches can have sea urchins, broken glass, and other debris. Avoid eating reef fish entrails or combining reef fish with alcohol or peanuts because of possible marine toxins (wikivoyage.org).
