Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition cruise with Swan Hellenic through one of the most remote and biodiverse regions of the Indonesian archipelago — the untouched wonders of West Papua and Raja Ampat. This extraordinary voyage reveals the raw natural beauty, vibrant marine ecosystems, and deeply rooted island cultures of a region few travelers ever reach. Sailing through secluded lagoons, coral atolls, and jungle-covered coastlines, you’ll explore the heart of Indonesia’s hidden paradise by small ship, where nature reigns supreme and discovery awaits at every turn.
Your curated itinerary takes you far beyond the usual routes, from the crystal-clear waters of Cenderawasih Bay — home to graceful whale sharks — to the surreal limestone karsts of Wayag and Misool. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, relax on golden sand beaches only accessible by sea, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of local island life. April and May offer ideal conditions to navigate this untouched region, with calm seas and warm, humid days providing the perfect backdrop for exploration and connection with nature.
Designed for curious and conscious travelers, this Raja Ampat cruise offers an unparalleled blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and pristine beauty. Whether you're swimming with giant whale sharks, trekking through lush rainforests, or engaging with remote island communities, Swan Hellenic ensures every moment is unforgettable. Discover West Papua’s most breathtaking landscapes and marine sanctuaries in signature Swan Hellenic style — refined, intimate, and deeply enriching.
We'll take care of the finer details, allowing you to focus your full attention on your cultural expedition cruise experience. Our cruise fares are all- inclusive, so there are no surprise extras or unexpected gratuity bills. Relax in the full knowledge that all you have to do is have a wonderful time.
