Cruise Advice
From stunning temples and remote islands to beautiful jungle-fringed beaches and vibrant cities, sailing the islands of Indonesia on a small ship Bali and Indonesia cruise is a magical experience. Here are the best Indonesia cruises to book now.
The Best Bali & Indonesia Cruises
Silversea's Bali & Indonesia Voyages
Silversea's beautiful ships operate a handful of voyages in autumn/winter 2025/26 to or from Singapore and ending in New Zealand or Australia.
You'll visit islands ranging from laid-back Bali to volcano-dotted Java, home to the breathtaking Borobudur temple complex, and enjoy a social, welcoming ambience and cosmopolitan style on board.
Indonesia & South East Asia with Ponant
If the chic ships and joie de vivre of French cruise line Ponant appeal, there are several fantastic itineraries on offer that begin or end in Australia or explore Indonesia and South East Asia.
Ponant's ships' small size allows you to visit places like Komodo Island with its pink beaches and famous dragons and the island of Flores, home to some of the most staggeringly beautiful scenery in the Indonesian archipelago, a lush landscape of smouldering volcanoes, spectacular lakes and verdant paddy fields.
Seabourn's Indonesia & Queensland Coast
Another cruise line that visits Indonesia, en route from mainland Asia to Australia and the South Pacific, includes Seabourn's two-week Indonesia & Queensland Coast itinerary in December 2025, that combines the highlights of Indonesia with the Great Barrier Reef and the Queensland coast.
Other options mix in stops in the Philippines and Malaysia, ending or starting among the striking mix of ancient and modern in Hong Kong or vibrant Singapore.
Thailand, Vietnam & Indonesia with Regent Seven Seas
Regent Seven Seas' beautiful ships operate several South East Asia voyages that combine Indonesia with Australia or South East Asia exploration, such as their Bangkok to Bali sailing next December 2025 on the beautiful Seven Seas Explorer visiting Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.
Or sail from Singapore in January 2026 for the perfect winter sun getaway exploring Indonesia and Australia including Bali, Java, Cairns and Sydney, or from Bali to Sydney in December 2026 for an ideal pre-Christmas escape.
Adventurous Bali & Indonesia Cruise: Aqua Expeditions
For a more expedition-focussed sailing, Aqua Expeditions' Aqua Blu, the former British Royal Navy survey ship HMS Beagle, has undergone a remarkable transformation into a luxurious superyacht, specifically designed for this fascinating part of the world.
Aqua Blu sails three different Indonesian routes: Bali to Komodo National Park, the Spice Islands, and an itinerary focusing on the stunning Raja Ampat archipelago. On board you can expect stylish, individually designed suites, ample outdoor space including a sun deck with Jacuzzi, watersports equipment galore and Indonesian-inspired fine dining.
True North Adventure Cruises
Aqua Expeditions isn't the first cruise line to recognise Indonesia's potential for island-hopping escapades.
Australian outfit True North Adventure Cruises are best known for their expedition-style voyages along the Kimberley coast, but their eponymous 36-guest vessel also crosses the Coral Sea to Raja Ampat and West Papua, including a week-long itinerary focused on the amazing whale sharks of Cenderawasih Bay.
