Indonesia’s Sacred Temples & Islands Cruise
Luxury Small-Ship Voyage in 2027
13-Night Luxury Cruise | Singapore to Darwin | 16 March – 29 March 2027
Sail into a world of ancient stories, sacred places, and natural wonder.
This isn’t your typical tropical island cruise. It’s a cultural passage through time and nature — a way to return home from Singapore to Darwin not just rested, but changed.
Board the elegant small ship Le Paul Gauguin for a 13-night luxury voyage through Indonesia’s heartlands. With just 330 guests on board and a relaxed pace, you’ll explore age-old civilisations, sacred temples, and some of the world’s richest marine ecosystems.
From the serenity of Borobudur to the wild majesty of Komodo National Park, this journey is designed for curious minds and open hearts — solo travellers, couples, and cultural explorers alike.
