Experience the pristine East Indonesian Archipelago with an unforgettable 8-day/ 7-night cruise for 2 people (in a CAT II Suite on a double occupancy basis only) on board the Aqua Blu. Choose between any of the 3 different East Indonesian destinations: Bali – Komodo National ParkSpice Islands and Raja Ampat.  (itineraries rotate based on the seasons) or use your certificate to upgrade to a 12-night dual-destination itinerary!

The journey includes all meals while on board, beverages (non-alcoholic, house wine and national beer), all excursions, laundry, and use of equipment where appropriate.

Each of the 15 individually designed suites aboard the Aqua Blu is an oasis on the vast East Indonesian seas. Conceptualized with modern luxury and ultimate comfort in mind by renowned Dutch yacht designer Cor D. Rover, these private sanctuaries lend a luxurious sense of home to every journey on the Aqua Blu cruise ship.

Sun Deck
With an elevated vantage point, the Sun Deck offers spectacular 360-degree views wherever you sail in the picturesque East Indonesia region. Equipped with a barbecue, outdoor seating with umbrellas and wraparound lounge sofas, this is the perfect location for sunrise yoga, an evening grill party or night stargazing.

Jacuzzi and Lounge Daybeds
Few things are more enjoyable in the tropics than cooling off in Aqua Blu’s jacuzzi, which is flanked by plush daybeds for sunbathing and perhaps even a snooze after a diving or snorkeling session!

Spa and Exercise Area
Make wellness a priority at Aqua Blu’s onboard spa and outdoor exercise area. Indulge in Balinese massage and aromatherapy from our onboard therapist or work up a sweat in the outdoor exercise area. Take your massage outdoors, if you wish.

Private Speedboat
Aqua Blu boasts two Alson Flash private speedboats used for daily excursions to nearby islands, each with a capacity of 16 passengers. One tender with a capacity of eight divers is used exclusively for diving activities.

Watersports Equipment
Aqua Blu carries a comprehensive suite of top-of-the-line, non-motorized watersports equipment, including diving and snorkeling gear, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
