Indonesia

Generations of seafarers have sailed the trade winds of Indonesia, in quest of exotic cultures and their goods, charting the famous spice routes. Choose from a collection of sailing adventures following these same historic trade winds on journeys of discovery to many of the still remote areas of the Indonesian archipelago. Your vessel for this adventure will be an authentic wooden sailing ship, called a pinisi boat or bugi schooner, much like the ones used by those legendary adventurers, either the 6 cabin Katharina or the 12 cabin Ombak Putih.

Synonymous with Indonesia is the island of Bali which has enchanted visitors for centuries. One of the most beautiful and memorable places in the East, the very name conveys an image of magic. Volcanic mountains, delicately terraced rice paddies, palm groves and white sandy beaches. Dance, music, sculpture, wood carving and painting depict the daily life and culture of the gentle Balinese people.
