Eastern Indonesia Island Voyage

Embrace adventure on a remote voyage through volcanic islands, coral-rich seas and Indonesia’s most pristine natural wonders. Cruising on a luxurious yacht, you’ll discover remote archipelagos where few travellers can venture.
This remarkable expedition sails from Bali into the heart of Eastern Indonesia, exploring one of the most remote and visually spectacular regions of the archipelago. The journey unfolds through the wild beauty of Saleh Bay and the legendary landscapes of Komodo National Park, where rugged islands, pink-hued beaches, and dramatic viewpoints define the scenery. Continuing eastward, the itinerary reveals the cultural depth of Flores with stops in Ende and Larantuka, before venturing into the untouched marine environments of Wakatobi. Further highlights include the unspoiled charm of Alor Island and Kupang in West Timor, with serene days at sea offering moments of reflection before arriving in Darwin, Australia. Explore your way each day, perhaps drifting above Wakatobi’s coral gardens, watching water buffalo graze beneath Flores’ volcanic slopes, strolling simple waterfront promenades in Kupang, or joining a sunrise tender ashore for village life and sweeping island views.

Itinerary
Expand all Collapse all
Day 1 - Bali, Indonesia

Your adventure begins in Bali, where you’ll board your luxury Emerald yacht and set sail to explore the captivating waters of Indonesia. Known for its lush landscapes, iconic temples, and vibrant local culture, Bali offers an enchanting introduction to the country’s rich heritage, tropical beauty and unforgettable experiences that await on your voyage. 

Please book your flight to arrive into Denpasar prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Saleh Bay, Indonesia

Saleh Bay is a vast, sheltered inlet surrounded by Sumbawa’s volcanic landscapes and rich in marine biodiversity. The bay is occasionally visited by whale sharks, and you could be lucky enough to see them. However, sightings are seasonal and not guaranteed, as they depend on natural conditions and local fishing activity. Its calm waters and dramatic landscapes nonetheless make it a striking and rewarding natural setting.

Day 3 - Komodo National Park, Komodo Island – Pink Beach, Indonesia

A World Heritage-listed site, Komodo Island is famous for its ancient Komodo dragons, rugged savannah landscapes and crystal-clear waters. The island offers a rare combination of wildlife encounters and dramatic natural beauty. In the afternoon, you’ll visit one of only a few pink-sand beaches in the world, Pink Beach, defined by soft blush-coloured shores, turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs just offshore, making it a stunning location for photography and marine exploration.

Day 4 - Pulau Padar, Indonesia

Crowned by its iconic panoramic viewpoint, Pulau Padar offers sweeping vistas over curved bays made up of contrasting sand colours. Its dramatic hills and rugged coastline make it one of Indonesia’s most photographed landscapes.

Day 5 - Ende, Flores Island, Indonesia

A culturally rich coastal town on Flores Island, Ende blends local heritage, volcanic landscapes and historical significance. It also has a fascinating connection to Indonesia’s early history of independence.

Day 6 - Larantuka, Flores Island, Indonesia

A peaceful coastal town with strong Catholic traditions and a picturesque waterfront, Larantuka offers a unique cultural atmosphere framed by volcanic peaks and tranquil seas.

Day 7 - At Sea

Immerse yourself in the tranquil rhythm of life at sea as you spend a leisurely day on board your luxury Emerald yacht en route to your next destination. Take this time to savour the vessel’s elegant surroundings and relaxed comfort. Soak up the sun by the Spa Pool with endless ocean vistas, retreat to a quiet corner on the Observation Sun Deck to take in the sweeping views or unwind in one of the sophisticated lounges with a cool drink in hand. 

Day 8 - Wakatobi Marine Park, Indonesia

A world-renowned marine sanctuary, Wakatobi is celebrated for its extraordinary coral reefs, crystal-clear waters and diverse marine life. Don a snorkel and dive in to explore one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet.

Day 9 - Wakatobi Marine Park, Indonesia

Enjoy a second day exploring Wakatobi Marine Park.

Day 10 - Alor Island, Kalabahi, Indonesia

Remote and largely untouched, Alor Island is a place of dramatic landscapes, traditional villages and vibrant underwater biodiversity. Go ashore today to enjoy an authentic and unspoiled island experience.

Day 11 - Kupang, West Timor Island, Indonesia

Kupang is a coastal city on West Timor that serves as the main gateway to the region. While the wider island of Timor is known for its drier landscapes and rugged interior, Kupang itself is a largely urban and maritime hub, set along calm coastal waters with a more functional port setting. It offers a unique insight into everyday life in Indonesia’s eastern frontier.

Day 12 - At Sea

Admire the beautiful ocean vistas from your balcony during another quiet day at sea. Today, you may like to book an indulgent spa treatment or join a fitness class in the gym, creating some quiet moments to reflect on your incredible journey.

Day 13 - Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

Welcome to Darwin, Australia’s vibrant tropical capital and the gateway to the Northern Territory. This morning, your luxurious yacht journey comes to an end. From here, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight home or onward travels, taking with you cherished memories of your extraordinary journey. 

Please book your flight to depart out of Darwin after 12:00 PM.
