Geology, nature and man have come together to create what is probably the most diverse cruise environment in the world.

From the ochre coloured slopes of Komodo Island where the prehistoric Komodo "dragons" shelter, to the remote Sumban villages where ancient rites are still practised, Indonesia is a land of adventure and excitement.

You will find yourself in lush tropical rainforests, on tranquil pristine beaches and enjoying turquoise lagoons with spectacular coral reefs, inhabited by countless coloured fish, majestic Manta rays and plankton grazing whale sharks.

For a chance to get closer to the real Indonesia, we present Bali Sea Safari Cruises and their superb small ships, Sea Safari III and V.

WELCOME ON BOARD

Built in the traditional style reminiscent of the type used by Bugis pirates at the turn of the century the Sea Safari ships combine the best traditional Indonesian boat building skills with all the comforts expected in a modern vessel.

There is plenty of room to lounge in the cool comfort of the saloon or laze on the sun deck below the shade of her huge sails.

Sumptuous buffets of Asian and Western cuisine are served on board and complemented by beach barbecues and picnics.

The local and cultural knowledge of Sea Safari's cruise director is superlative and the ship's crew are top notch.
