Overview
Discover some of Indonesia’s most impressive archipelagos and islands on these two fantastic Star Clippers cruise itineraries. Both starting with a three night stay in Bali Island, both itineraries will then take you on a picturesque journey through unspoilt paradises, venturing through lesser-known spots and offering a relaxing, beautiful cruise through Indonesia’s cultural landscapes. Each trip will then end with a one night hotel stay in Benoa, Bali Island.
The Star Clippers ship reflects the nautical heritage of old-time sailing ships, oozing both old traditions, and the more modern comforts of the present day. Authentic ship exteriors are blended with contemporary state rooms and facilities, including DVD players, and even scenic verandas, offering a charming, old-style ambience as you sail through tropical destinations, including Komodo National Park and Lovina Beach.
You can take this cruise Eastbound or Westbound both start and finish in Benoa.
