Cruises to Bali and the Komodo Islands
Departing from Bali and Flores, our sensational 7-night Komodo cruises offer in-depth exploration of the legendary Komodo National Park and Moyo Island of East Indonesia.
Rising from the seas of East Indonesia where two continental plates collide, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park is a wonder of nature in every way imaginable. Ancient volcanic activity has created some of the most spectacular coastal terrain on Earth, with picture-perfect savannah hills, bays and beaches. The Park’s dramatic landscape also sets the perfect stage for stunning marine discoveries at some of the best diving and snorkeling sites in the world.
Komodo National Park spans an area of 669 square miles (1,817 square kilometers) and comprises of three main islands — Komodo, Padar and Rinca — and 26 smaller islets. Several of these are inhabited by prehistoric creatures, the native Komodo Dragon, that are the largest lizard species to walk the Earth. Sail off on a dream cruise from Bali to Komodo National Park, on the exceptional Aqua Blu and enjoy an adventurous Komodo cruise through the stunningly beautiful scenery of the untouched Indonesian seas.
Komodo National Park: A marine extravaganza
Located in the Coral Triangle between the major landmasses of Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east, the waters of Komodo National Park are embraced by fast flowing currents from the Indian Ocean and warm tropical Indonesia seas enriched with volcanic nutrients. The result is a vibrant marine environment home to more than 1,000 species of marine life, including the manta ray, sea turtles and mola mola (ocean sunfish), as well as over 260 species of coral. From shore to shore, the sheer number of marine life and a variety of different underwater environments make this region endlessly rewarding for both divers and non-divers alike.
Complemented by a dry and sunny savannah-like tropical climate, Komodo National Park’s variety of land and sea experiences makes cruising an ideal way to discover the region. Built to world-class luxury cruising specifications, the speed, stability and long-range capabilities of the Aqua Blu cruise ship guarantees five-star comfort, utmost exclusivity and an unrivalled immersiveness in the Park’s natural wonders. Access otherwise hard-to-reach marine sites and trekking routes where nature and wildlife flourish, often without another boat or human in sight.
Moyo Island and Saleh Bay: Where even more rewarding discoveries await
Elsewhere, the gifts of Moyo Island and Saleh Bay can also be easily accessed on an Aqua Blu voyage. Situated between Bali and Komodo National Park, Moyo Island is a Nature Reserve featuring unspoiled nature and marine habitats virtually untouched by outside influences. Within green bursts of jungle, explorers are presented with a large variety of flora and fauna with the picturesque Mata Jitu cascading waterfall as the reward.
At Saleh Bay, seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the congregation of rare whale sharks who have made the bay their sanctuary, and hold your breath at seeing tens of thousands of fruit bats take flight come nightfall.
Aqua Expeditions’ Komodo National Park cruise aboard the Aqua Blu cruise ship sails every year from April to September, the best season to discover the region. The cruise sets sail on 7-night itineraries, alternating departures from the popular resort destination of Bali to Labuan Bajo (in Flores) and the reverse direction from Labuan Bajo to Bali.
