Introducing Aqua Blu, Aqua Expedition’s first and only ocean-faring vessel that traverses the East Indonesian archipelago all year round – giving explorers unprecedented opportunity to access this expansive region in five-star luxury. Combining the Earth’s most biologically diverse marine region – featuring the best dive and snorkel sites in the world – with rare bird and animal species, remarkable landscapes and rich cultural heritage, Aqua Blu itineraries to Komodo, Spice Islands, and Raja Ampat will ignite the explorer in you.

Best known for showcasing the world’s most diverse collection of underwater habitats and marine species, Aqua Blu will take you on a journey to the many hidden lagoons of the magnificent Raja Ampat region. Paddle through natural limestone karst formations and seek out the endemic Bird of Paradise, as you lose yourself in the beauty of nature, snorkeling alongside manta rays and rare stingless jellyfishes at the Lenmakana Lake

Aqua Blu sets sail on an ancient route of the Maluku region – for many centuries the only source of cloves and nutmeg in the world. Explore the Dutch-built Fort Belgica in Banda Neira, learn about the historically important Pulau Run – which was swapped for present-day Manhattan, and experience a kora kora war canoe race. Discover underwater marvels with great wall, reef, lava flow coral gardens and marine arch exploration dives, as well as dugong, sea snakes, hammerhead shark, and other wildlife sightings.

Sailing from Bali to Labuan Bajo and vice versa, the Komodo Islands itinerary takes you to the best of the Nusa Tenggara archipelago, including Moyo Island and Komodo National Park. If sipping a cocktail on the iconic Pink Beach, trekking up picturesque volcanic formations and swimming with mysterious whale sharks sounds like an adventure you’d love to be a part of, this itinerary is for you.
