Sail East Indonesia in luxury aboard Aqua Blu

Straddling three time zones and two mighty oceans, the country of Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world. With open sea making up three-quarters of the country’s area, and 18,000 tropical islands stretching over 3,100 miles (5,000 km) longitudinally from East to West and 1,050 miles (1,700 km) latitudinally from North to South, Indonesia is a prime location in Southeast Asia for cruise adventures.

 

With its immense size, Indonesia also boasts astounding cultural diversity, with 1,300 ethnic groups and 652 documented languages, of which 11 have disappeared and 19 on the verge of becoming extinct. Year-round, a vast number of festivals are celebrated across the country, from ancient war rituals to folkloric traditions unique to each region or community.

 

Beyond the Southeast Asian country’s characteristic volcanic landscapes and colorful endemic wildlife, a cultural treasure trove of age-old traditions and well-preserved colonial-era relics await your discovery. Set sail through Indonesia on Aqua Blu, a luxurious vessel that enables you to enjoy the most rewarding coastal cruise itineraries in the world.

BALI-KOMODO NATIONAL PARK

Rinca and Padar Island

Two of the must-visit sites when island-hopping across East Indonesia are Rinca and Padar. Rinca Island is the second largest in Komodo National Park and one of the few places where Komodo dragons can be spotted in the wild. Encounter these creatures up-close – accompanied by our expert guides and park rangers – while sailing on Aqua Blu. Next up, Padar Island is a volcanic landform harboring one of the most spectacular natural vistas on Earth. Embark on a relaxed hike to a panoramic viewpoint which shows off the region’s immaculate beauty. Padar’s perfectly curved bays and beaches flank both sides of the island, framed by the cobalt blue of the surrounding sea.

Moyo Island and Saleh Bay

Located in between Bali and Komodo National Park, the remote island of Moyo is an unspoiled paradise.

It offers explorers sparkling coastlines, a wealth of underwater life, and a cascading waterfall accessible with a short trek. Along the way to the waterfall, the wildlife of Moyo reveals itself, from butterflies to wild oxen. The island is also a paradise for bird lovers. Over at Saleh Bay, whale sharks are the prime attraction. While sailing on Aqua Blu, head out on an early morning snorkeling adventure to swim with the gentle giants of the sea.

Encountering the Amazing Komodo Dragons in Rinca Island

Pink Beach

The aptly named Pink Beach on Komodo Island is a natural wonder in its own right. It gets its characteristic color from microscopic creatures which produce a red pigment that gets left behind on coral reefs. Over time, tiny fragments of the red coral get washed up and combine with the white sands of the beach to produce a soft pink hue that is particularly beautiful in the evening light. The Komodo National Park itinerary ensures that guests enjoy Pink Beach at its quietest and most tranquil; under a moonlit sky, this promises to be one of the most magical nights of your life.
