In addition to the adventure cruises highlighted below, Bali Barong Tours works with all major cruise lines and a variety of specialty cruise lines that visit the islands of Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia.

As a booking agent for Seatrek Sailing Adventures, Bali Barong Tours is pleased to be able to offer our clients a variety of cruise itineraries through the pristine waters of the Indonesia archipelago. Itineraries range from eight to fourteen days. You'll explore far-flung uninhabited islands, follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook, visit the Komodo dragons, or even venture as far as Raja Ampat in West Papua.

Seatrek Sailing Adventures offers regularly scheduled cruises on the Ombak Putih, a sailing vessel with 12 private staterooms, and on the Katharina which has six private staterooms. All cabins are air-conditioned and have private bathrooms. If you get the urge to sleep under the stars, blankets and mattresses will be provided for an on-deck overnight experience. Both vessels are also available for private charter.

Both Ombak Putih and Katharina have 25 meter tall mainmasts. The ships run by engine when winds are light. But, when conditions permit the sails will be unfurled.

The advantages to booking your cruise through Bali Barong Tours are:

• Toll free phone access to an agent in the U.S.
• Ability to make payments through a U.S. based agent.
• We can build a package that includes pre-cruise or post-cruise tours, activities and accommodations in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia.

Seatrek Sailing Adventures cruises include all meals; tea and coffee; towels; excursions per itineraries; use of snorkel gear and sea canoes; transfers (except in Bali). Some of the cruises feature guest speakers
