INTERIOR
Its interiors are thoughtfully designed with the clear goal of marrying that idea of the boat's past, present and future in all its senses. sensitivities were taken to preserve its rugged bones, while simple clean lines and rich wood tones become the DNA throughout its generous footprint, resulting in a whole with an integrity of its own. The design prioritizes the warmth and comfort of her guests while its simplicity highlights the beauty of the nature she voyages to discover.
SUITES
The premier is fitted with 8 luxurious and spacious cabins each with its own ensuite bathroom and private balconies accommodating 16, and an additional cabin on the main deck sleeps another 2.
The 4 master & junior suites are located near the bow and stern of the ship allowing for direct views of the ocean ahead / tailing and are equipped with full king-sized beds and living spaces. While the other 4 smaller port suites have king-sized beds that can be split into 2 singles if needed.
The interior of each cabin is flooded with natural light through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that extend onto the private balcony. Additionally, large windows in the shower create a relaxing atmosphere to start or end the day while enjoying ocean views.
All furniture and cabinetry are hand-crafted by local carpenters known for the fine woodworking skills to produce beautiful finishes. Choice linens and fabrics are carefully selected, while unique indigenous artifacts tastefully color each suite making them distinct from one another.
DESTINATIONS
Discover the paradise below the surface, and the undbridalled nature well preserved.
From majestic whale sharks, elegant giant mantas, strange mola-mola to the hypnotic pygmy seahorse, Indonesia’s over 17,000 islands makes for an underwater biodiversity unlike any other in the world where flora and fauna flourish and rare species can be found.
The volcanic ring of fire across the archipelago of Indonesia lends to a fertile arcadia of unique tropical ecology, ideal homes to special species from the pre-extinct Chinese Crested Terns to the Cendrawasih Bird of Paradise alike. While the vastness of the archipelago isolates and preserves unique anthrolopologies of remote artistic and warrior tribes.
1. LESSER SUNDA ISLANDS
The Lesser Sunda Islands is a string of over 550 islands stretching from the blessed paradise of Bali, through Nusa Tengara West and East, all the way to Tanimbar in South Eastern Mollucas. It uniquely occupies the junction of Australian and Asian submarine ridges marked by the Wallace line, making this swatch of sea one of the most uniquely dynamic and exotic marine environments in the world.
Bali, Sumba, Timor and Flores form 4 of the larger bodies in between, depicting distinct characters and natural wonders, rituals, spirits and cultures respectively and many parts of them still remain largely undiscovered.
2. BANDA ARCH &
THE FORGOTTEN ISLANDS
The Banda Arch is formed by the collision of the Indo-Australian with the Eurasian tectonic plate resulting in a uniquely 180-degree arch of islands spanning more than 1000 km long from Komodo to Kekeh Besar; Savu through Rote to Kai and Aru Islands.
Both inner and outer Banda arch is home to a historically rich spice trade dating back to colonial times, and its uniquely isolated off-the-beaten-path coordinates of these “forgotten islands” makes for one of the worlds most underdeveloped and preserved marine biodiversity, with pristine crystal clear blue waters and magnificent underwater gardens.
3. WEST PAPUA &
THE BIRD’S HEAD SEASCAPE
The eastern edge of Indonesia lies Papua, gloriously blessed with beautiful and rich ecology, and conserved tribal cultures. Her lush green jungle is home to 37 of the 41 Bird of Paradise species, along with many other endemic bird species.
The Bird’s Head Seascape, includes Cendrawasih Bay and Triton Bay, with Raja Ampat as the Crown Jewel of the region considered as the richest and Global Centre of Marine biodiversity with over 70% of known species globally and more than 1.700 species of reef fish.

THE SPICE ISLANDS

The lesser travelled cousin of the well-known and well-loved Raja Ampat, The Halmahera archipelago has some of the most colorful diving in Indonesia with density of soft corals and sponges, teeming with reef fish all framed by clear blue water. Above water, sublime landscapes of active volcanoes tower over lush green sparsely populated islands. This beautiful destination is remote and rarely visited, offer adventurous traveler a unique experience that is hard to come by anywhere.
CSR COMMITMENT
To travel is to leave the places we visit better than we found them; It’s about caring for them and making a positive lasting impact.
Our passion is to connect the archipelago. Despite unequal distribution of medical infrastructure, we believe that everyone should have the same basic access to healthcare.
Through the years, we have had the privilege of partnering with a local medical non-profit known as doctorSHARE, in providing free medical services and disaster aid response through the work of
the world’s first Floating Hospital Barge all around Indonesia’s remote islands.
