Comprising over 17,000 islands and spread over almost two million square kilometres, Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago with many of the islands remote, lushly tropical, remarkably beautiful and seldom visited. These tropical island gems can be explored as part of an exclusive new package curated by Australian small-ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, that offers savings of A$8372 per couple, plus a flight credit of A$2000 per couple.
‘Indonesia Unveiled’ is the new 18-night fly, cruise and stay package released by Cruise Traveller in partnership with Ponant. The 2027 voyage features Ponant’s 264-guest exploration ship, Le Soleal. Boasting a refined and intimate, French-style elegance, Le Soleal offers a fine dining and grill restaurant and grill restaurant, panoramic lounge, theatre, library, open-air bar, pool, an expert expedition team and personalised service.
Perfect for seasoned travellers seeking new horizons to explore but not too far from home, the adventure begins on May 30, 2027, with a flight to Singapore, using Cruise Traveller’s bonus A$1000 per person flight credit. Two nights in a luxury Singapore hotel, pre-cruise, are also included as are local private car transfers. After time to relax and explore in Singapore, guests board Le Soleal for a 14-night journey, from Singapore to Bali, via a string of wild and pristine islands where remote and intact communities still practise traditions untouched by time.
The journey will reveal treasured islands in Indonesia boasting crystal-clear lagoons, coral reefs, lush jungles, volcanic peaks, thunderous waterfalls, pearl-white beaches, ancestral villages and rich marine life. Destinations include places unknown to most Australians such as the Banyak and Mentawai Islands, and the island paradises of Nias, Enggano and Bawean. The journey also includes the volcanic island of Krakatoa, which exploded in 1883 in one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, with the noise audible 3600km away in Alice Springs.
The voyage ends in Bali where there are two more nights in a luxury hotel, with private car transfers. Guests then fly home, again using Cruise Traveller’s exclusive flight credit of A$1000 pp.
The expedition cruise includes complimentary, guided Zodiac excursions ashore, plus insights into the culture, history, flora and fauna of all destinations from an expert expedition team onboard. The cruise also includes complimentary onboard beverages.
