Victoria is the capital and largest city of Seychelles, situated on the north-eastern side of Mahé, the archipelago's main island. As the country's primary urban centre, Victoria is home to two of the three submarine cables that connect Seychelles to international networks. These two systems together link the Seychelles archipelago to destinations spanning East Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and Europe, representing both regional and intercontinental connectivity corridors.
The two cables landing at Victoria are the PEACE Cable and the Seychelles to East Africa System (SEAS). Together they position Victoria as the more internationally connected of Seychelles' two submarine cable landing points, serving routes that reach as far as France in Western Europe and as near as Tanzania on the African mainland.
The PEACE Cable, with a total length of 25,000 km and ready for service in 2022, connects Victoria to a broad set of countries including Cyprus, Egypt, France, Kenya, Maldives, and Malta. This system extends across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean, making it the longest cable landing in Seychelles and the one with the widest geographic reach among the two systems terminating in Victoria.
The Seychelles to East Africa System (SEAS) spans 1,930 km and entered service in 2012, making it the earliest submarine cable to land in Seychelles. SEAS connects Victoria directly to Tanzania, providing a more focused regional link between the Seychelles archipelago and the East African mainland. At under 2,000 km, it is a comparatively short system by international standards and serves a specific bilateral corridor between the two countries.
Seychelles has two submarine cable landing points: Victoria and Carana. While Carana hosts one cable, Victoria hosts two, making it the dominant landing point in the country's submarine cable infrastructure. Victoria's two systems account for the majority of Seychelles' international submarine cable connectivity.
Victoria functions as a multi-cable terminus within Seychelles, connecting the archipelago simultaneously to a short-haul East African route via SEAS and to a long-haul intercontinental route via the PEACE Cable. The PEACE Cable extends Seychelles' connectivity northward through the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea corridor, and ultimately into the Mediterranean, while SEAS anchors a direct link to the Tanzanian coast. This combination means Victoria serves both regional island-to-mainland connectivity and broader intercontinental traffic.
Within the regional submarine cable graph, Victoria's role as the landing point for Seychelles' only intercontinental cable makes it the primary international gateway for the archipelago's external network connections.
