11 nights · 15. May - 26. May 2027 · Benoa, Bali → Darwin
Eleven nights through the heart of eastern Indonesia, from Bali to Darwin, aboard Le Jacques Cartier with Smithsonian Journeys experts. Komodo dragons, the coral reefs of the Banda Sea and the historic Spice Islands combine into a richly layered journey. The 184-guest Ponant Explorer-class vessel uses 16 Zodiacs and the marina to reach bays that larger ships cannot. The Blue Eye underwater lounge shows its strengths in the reef-rich Wakatobi and Triton Bay area. Smithsonian lectures on board cover volcanology, spice-trade history and coral ecology. Premium all-inclusive throughout.
