Voyage Itinerary
Before you board
Two nights in Bali
Fly to Bali where you will be met at the airport and transferred to the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort for a two-night stay. The resort occupies a beachfront location within the exclusive resort area of Nusa Dua and offers easy access to Bali's tranquil eastern coastline. The following day, transfer to the pier in Benoa to join Le Soléal and begin your voyage.
24 November to 25 November
Indonesia: Benoa (Bali)
The beaches, spectacular volcanic scenery and lush green rice terraces lend Bali a natural beauty that seems to dovetail perfectly with the island’s distinct Hindu culture, which adorns the landscape with stunning temples.
26 November
Indonesia: Waikelo
27 November - At sea
28 November
Timor-Leste: Dili
Dili is the capital of Timor-Leste (East Timor), one of the world’s youngest nations. The city’s old quarter includes a number of impressive buildings from the Portuguese colonial era, while the Resistance Museum documents the country’s 25-year struggle to win independence from Indonesia.
29 November
Indonesia: Maumere (Flores)
The island of Flores is 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. Flores is also culturally distinct from the other islands, with a population that is 95% Catholic.
30 November - At sea
1 December
: Komodo National Park
2 December
Indonesia: Sumbawa
Sumbawa is just to the east of Bali and Lombok, though the island is drier, less developed and more conservative than its neighbours. It’s a popular spot for surfers, and home to sleepy villages where locals weave indigo cloth and build traditional wooden boats by hand.
2 December
Indonesia: Satonda
The tiny uninhabited island of Satonda was created by a volcanic eruption several million years ago, just off the north coast of Sumbawa. The island is surrounded by coral reefs teeming with colourful tropical fish, and was declared a protected Marine Nature Park in 1999.
3 December
Indonesia: Saleh Bay (Sumbawa)
Saleh Bay is a vast expanse of sea on the northern side of Sumbawa island, semi-enclosed and scattered with uninhabited islands. The main attraction here is the marine life, and in particular the chance to see magnificent whale sharks in their natural habitat.
4 December
Arriving in Benoa (Bali)
The beaches, spectacular volcanic scenery and lush green rice terraces lend Bali a natural beauty that seems to dovetail perfectly with the island’s distinct Hindu culture, which adorns the landscape with stunning temples.
Our tip
Bali is seriously busy – it’s a long way for us, but just on the doorstep for Australians. The central mountains, or north and west coasts, are quieter.
