Your cruise in detail
PONANT invites you to embark on board Le Jacques-Cartier for a 12-day tropical expedition cruise to discover the sublime natural landscapes of Indonesia.
Your journey aboard Le Jacques-Cartier will start in Darwin. You will then sail to the Kei Islands, in the heart of the Malukus, to discover a peaceful paradise of stunning white-sand beaches.
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.
Le Jacques-Cartier will continue to sail in the Indonesian province of West Papua to allow you to witness the superb natural site of Kitikiti Waterfall surrounded by lush nature.
In the Maluku Islands, dubbed the Spice Islands, you will explore the island of Banda Neira, which was shaped by Dutch and Portuguese influences.
After a stopover in the fabulous Barat Daya Islands, you will head for Kalabahi. This authentic destination in the Alor archipelago provides the opportunity to interact with local people who have preserved their traditional practices and customs.
You will then set sail for Flores and the town of Maumere before making a port of call in the Komodo National Park. This emblematic national sanctuary is home to the famous prehistoric-looking giant lizards.
In Badas, on the island of Sumbawa, you will be welcomed by the inhabitants of Pamulung village, where you will be able to witness a traditional ceremony.
Your cruise will conclude in Bali - ‘the island of the gods’ - with its captivating charm and grace. -
