With more than 17,000 islands, the Indonesian archipelago, the largest in the world, is an ideal destination for a cabin cruise. Located in Southeast Asia, it is bathed by the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Embark on a luxurious shared sailboat and discover exotic landscapes. During your voyage, you will discover sumptuous white sand beaches, authentic traditional villages, lush nature and, of course, the famous Komodo dragons.
Although Bali is a very popular tourist destination for Europeans, attracting several million visitors every year, the rest of Indonesia remains largely unexplored. A cruise to Bali is the ideal way to explore these countless islands, unknown to all and far from mass tourism. Set sail for an exceptional cruise!
The must-sees on a cruise to Bali
Nusa Penida
The Nusa Penida archipelago is located in the open sea off Bali and consists of three small islands: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. So close to the seaside resorts and yet so isolated, this archipelago will offer you a bubble of tranquillity and a soothing setting during your cruise to Bali. The coastline is made up of calm and isolated beaches with fine sand and translucent waters. The perfect place for a nap in complete privacy.

Nusa Lembongan is famous for its splendid crescent-shaped bay, called Mushroom Bay, and its white sandy beach hauled in by turquoise waters. Borrow the masks and snorkels provided on your sailboat for a snorkeling session in this popular spot. A little further south is one of Bali's most beautiful beaches: Dream Beach.
Pulau Menjangan
The island of Pulau Menjangan is a nature reserve that forms part of Barat National Park. It is completely uninhabited and it is forbidden to spend the night there. However, during the day, it is a real piece of paradise for those with a Robinson Crusoe soul! This island offers unspoiled seabeds with a rich variety of fish, in an idyllic setting. You can see clownfish, angelfish and many other tropical fish. A real paradise for snorkeling.
Lombok
This volcanic island is becoming a leading destination in Indonesia, like its neighbor, Bali. It is full of heavenly semi-deserted beaches, lush and wild nature and incredible waterfalls. During your cruise to Bali, take the opportunity to stop over in Lombok and go hiking in the jungle until you reach one of the most spectacular waterfalls: Sindang Gila. The beauty of this island is also due to its aquatic fauna and flora and colorful coral reefs, where diving and snorkeling are widely practiced.

When is the best time to go on a cruise to Bali?
Bali has two very distinct seasons: the rainy season and the dry season, which lasts from May to November. This is the ideal time for your cruise to Bali. The sun is out, temperatures are high and rainfall is rare. The water temperature, meanwhile, is constant all year round, at around 28°C!
For a quieter vacation, avoid the months of July and August, which are the high season. You will escape the summer hustle and bustle and even benefit from preferential rates!
Going on a cruise to Bali is a chance to get away from it all. The unique landscapes of this archipelago will never cease to amaze you. Each of its islands has its own charm. With everything from dream beaches to wild nature, there's something for everyone, not to mention the many water activities.
