Set sail on the ultimate expedition into the world's richest marine ecosystems - the legendary Coral Triangle and the remote islands of Papua and Raja Ampat. This is more than a cruise; it's a deep-dive into biodiversity and culture, journeying through pristine Indonesian and Papua New Guinean archipelagos accessible only by sea.
Your voyage begins in the frontier ports of Wewak and Vanimo before entering Indonesia's vast Papua region, where nature guards stunning geographical wonders.Navigate Cenderawasih Bay to explore hidden gems like Pulau Padaidori, Pulau Roon and the Auri Islands, with the unparalleled thrill of encountering whale sharks near Kwattisore. Continue to the Raja Ampat archipelago, the epicentre of marine life, exploring serene Kabui Bay, dive sites at Pulau Kri and Pulau Mansuar, and the dramatic karst islands and lagoons of Pulau Fam and Pulau Misool. The vibrant underwater world here is unmatched, and you'll be welcomed by island communities connected to the ocean's ancient rhythms.Engage in onboard lectures on marine biodiversity and Papuan culture, refine your skills in photography workshops, and choose from exceptional shore excursions: snorkeling or diving Raja Ampat's pristine reefs, kayaking Misool's limestone lagoons, exploring local markets in Jayapura and Manokwari, and immersing yourself in Cenderawasih Bay's coastal village traditions.
Every stop reveals new wonders in nature, heritage and human spirit: an unforgettable adventure in one of Earth's last true wildernesses.Upcoming departures
