Tropical Indonesian Odyssey

Over 13 days, fall under the spell of the beauty and richness of the Indonesian archipelago and the nordern shores of Australia. Aboard Le Soléal, take an exceptional expedition cruise with PONANT, sailing from island to island, from idyllic landscapes to unforgettable encounters. From the aptly-named ‘Island of Gods’, you will make a first port of call at on the island of Sumbawa before arriving on mysterious Komodo, a small wild island whose national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home among other things to the famous Komodo dragons, gigantic monitor lizards that can grow more than 3 metres long, that you will be able to see in their natural environment.  You will then sail to Flores, the flower island, followed by the Alor Archipelago, two destinations where the locals have successfully preserved their ancient, traditional way of life. After calling at the fabulous Barat Daya Islands, you will explore the Moluccas (Maluku Islands), known as “the Spice Islands”, and make a stop on the island of Banda Neira, marked by Dutch and Portuguese influences. Le Soléal will continue on to the Indonesian province of West Papua to give you the opportunity to admire the Kiti-Kiti Waterfall. Surrounded by lush vegetation, you will undoubtedly be tempted to swim or snorkel at the foot of this stunning natural site. Then, you will sail to the heart of Triton Bay. Located within a protected marine environment in the middle of the Coral Triangle, you will enjoy an unforgettable zodiac cruise through the spectacular rainforest-capped karst islands. Before finishing your cruise in Darwin, you will sail to the Kai Islands, located in the heart of the Moluccas. These hidden jewels, surrounded by incredibly blue water, are home to some of Indonesia’s most beautiful white sandy beaches. The encounters with the wildlife described above illustrate possible experiences only and cannot be guaranteed.
