"Ombak Putih" Cruise

7 Days / 6 Nights Sight Sailing Cruise East of Bali
Flores - Komodo - Bali Cruise Schedule 2008

Cruise Itinerary

Set sail to one of the most stunning areas in the world: the Indonesian Islands. The "Ombak Putih", or "white wave", revives the days that the waters in and around Indonesia were ruled by the Buginese.

Whenever possible more than six hundred square meters of sails are raised, but Ombak Putih relies on an engine to safeguard the schedule. Ombak Putih will sail you from island to island in traditional style blended with all modern comforts. The hull and deck house are completely made of wood. Below deck there are twelve spacious cabins, each with private bathroom and air-conditioning. The Ombak Putih is a forerunner in safety and environmental protection at sea. Ombak Putih combines tradition with modern technology and awareness of Indonesia's natural resources.
