Indonesia Cruises

Indonesia

Welcome to the world’s largest archipelagic state – Indonesia! With its over 17,000 multicultural islands, sailing to the ‘Emerald of the Equator’ is definitely a bucket-list worthy experience. Whether you’re looking to lounge on the beach, spot exotic animals or visit UNESCO-listed sites – everything is possible on an Indonesia cruise. Explore the jewels of Indonesia, from the beautiful Bali to the jaw-dropping Jakarta, kaleidoscopic Komodo and more!

Think of Bali and you instantly imagine a tropical paradise – white, powdery beaches and fiery volcanoes, vine-covered temples filled with sacred monkeys, rushing white-water rivers and unrelenting sunshine. Next is the massive capital, Jakarta – a cultural melting pot, complete with world-class street food and coffee scenes! Need an escape from the hustle and bustle? Come to Komodo, a remote island known for its beautiful mix of rugged landscapes, pristine beaches and overwhelming tranquillity. Komodo National Park covers the entire region – home to over 4,000 namesake monitor lizards! The locals are immensely proud of this archipelagic gem, and once you’ve taken an Indonesia cruise it’s not hard to see why…

Indonesia Cruise Destinations

Indonesia Cruise Highlights

Benoa, Bali

Bali embodies the essence of Asia’s exotic culture – and the tropical climate lays way for endless emerald green scenery, punctured by terraced rice paddies. The small village of Benoa on its south-eastern coast is your gateway to its many delights, whilst fragrant spices fill the air and feed your soul. Fancy a thrill? Gear up and get your adrenaline pumping as you enjoy jet skiing, parasailing, sea walking and fly fishing in Tanjung Benoa Beach or pamper yourself with a traditional Balinese massage!

Bintan Island

Bintan Island has quickly become a favourite getaway for discerning travellers and now it’s a coveted cruise destination too! This laid-back Indonesian island is perfect for relaxing on the beach, visiting temples and having tee time in world-class golf courses. Get a glimpse of the local’s culture and lifestyle in Tanjung Pinang, the island’s capital, and sample the famous otak-otak – fish meat cooked in coconut milk and Indonesian spices, and then wrapped in coconut leaves before grilling over a charcoal stove.

Taman Mini, Jakarta

A culture-based recreational area in Jakarta, Taman Mini comprises 26 replicas of traditional houses of chieftains, representing 26 provinces in the archipelago. Besides these pavilions, this miniature park features various museums, landscaped gardens, performing theatres, an Imax theatre and 4D theatre, a water park and more! Culture vultures and families will be delighted to explore this sprawling park on foot, offering a plethora of things to do within one setting!

History and Culture

History and Culture

As the Emerald of the Equator, Indonesia is blessed with a bountiful mix of cultural wonders and historical sites, with nine UNESCO World Heritage sites on its sleeve. Visiting attractions with such great historical and cultural significance provide different sensations and new learning about the region’s past and ancient traditions. History buffs and culture vultures who want to delve into the country’s rich history and culture will find these experiences rewarding:

  • Sample Satay – one of the staple dishes in Indonesia which is a marinated, bite-size meat grilled on a skewer and traditionally dipped into spiced sauce! 
  • Embrace local traditions in Ubud, a quaint town in the highlands of Bali, known as a centre for traditional crafts and dance – ideal for coffee tasting and temple hopping! 
  • Take a side trip to the UNESCO-listed Borobudur Temple, the World’s largest Buddhist temple featuring a central dome surrounded by 72 sculpted figures of Buddha.

Things to Do in Indonesia

Spot the World’s largest lizard in Komodo National Park, Komodo

Wild Komodo dragons, the world’s largest lizard spanning three metres long, exist nowhere else in the world than the UNESCO-protected Komodo National Park. Whilst sighting the dragons is the highlight of any visit to the park, there’s so much you can do in Komodo Island – such as floating on the blue waters inside the Rangko Cave, mingling with the friendly locals in the Komodo village and catching the scenic sunset on a pink beach.

Make offerings to the gods in Tanah Lot, Bali

Perched on a beach outcrop, Tanah Lot is a group of three temples built to worship the sea God. Tanah Lot translates to ‘Land in the Sea,’ a perfect name for its idyllic offshore setting. Make offerings to the gods inside the Hindu shrine or catch the breathtaking sunsets over the ocean. The iconic silhouette of this Balinese temple against the slowly dipping sun into the ocean, complemented by the crashing waves and the dramatic colours of the sky, is truly a feast for the eyes and a stunning backdrop for photos!

Honour Indonesia’s Independence in Jakarta

The National Monument, locally known as Monas tower, is a testament of Indonesia’s fight for freedom and independence after years of Dutch colonial rule. It’s crowned with a honorary bronze flame called the ‘Flame of Independence’. Set in the heart of the city in Merdeka (Freedom) Square, this notable obelisk-shaped landmark houses a public museum and an observation deck providing panoramic views of Jakarta’s skyline.

Natural Wonders

Natural Wonders

With untouched tropical nature and idyllic islands that hold hidden gems and thriving flora and fauna, an Indonesian cruise offers a rich tapestry of truly breath-taking sights and natural wonders. The  vast archipelagic state  encompasses pristine sweeps of white sand beaches, lush forests, soaring peaks and more! Explore its seemingly endless beauty as you unearth these otherworldly natural wonders of the Emerald of the Equator…

  • Bali is a slice of paradise with an abundant collection of gorgeous beaches – from the remote and serene Blue Point Beach to the tourist-famous Kuta Beach! 
  • Komodo Island is the domain of the rare Komodo dragons, as well as the stunning pink beach and the underwater manta rays!
  • Gili Islands is a group of islands located off the coast of Lombok, offering exquisite beaches and marine life that rival those of what you can find in Bali – all without the large crowds!
