Indonesia

As a vast nation – one of the most populous on the planet – that covers a whopping 17,000 individual islands and rocks, it is no wonder 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 cruise of the Indonesian islands can bring you to some of the most enchanting isles of the archipelago such as: West Papua, Flores, Sumba, Komodo and Rinca islands, the stone spires of Raja Ampat, the volcano-studded Spice Islands and the remote isles of Southeast Sulawesi, mooring in remote areas that are seldom visited. You can also explore the waterways of the Tanjung Putting National Park in search of gentle orangutan.
