Komodo National Park, Flores Island, Indonesia

Cruises in Indonesia

As a nation of more than 17,000 islands, cruising is an obvious choice for exploring the volcanic peaks and low-lying atolls of Indonesia. Cruising here is often slightly more adventurous than in other parts of Southeast Asia, with the emphasis on nature as much as culture.

A number of boats, including schooners, luxury yachts and liveaboards, ply these waters. They can take you to Komodo, home of the impressive Komodo Dragon, Flores, Sumba, Papua, Sulawesi and the Spice Islands, mooring in remote areas that are seldom visited. You can also explore the waterways of the Tanjung Puting National Park in search of gentle orangutan.
