Your ship

Aqua Blu

The 60-meter Aqua Blu is the first ever long-range ocean explorer yacht permanently based in East Indonesia. On board, 15 individually designed cabins and refined social spaces are accompanied by innovative cuisine curated by renowned chef Benjamin Cross, drawing inspiration from Indonesia’s fabled spice trade route. Led by highly experienced crew and guides, guests explore the world’s most biodiverse marine habitats, embark on adventurous hikes across active volcanoes, and explore relics from centuries-old history in small groups. Aqua Blu’s naval pedigree makes it the perfect vessel to navigate Eastern Indonesia’s vast seas. Having attained the highest international classifications (RINA, SOLAS, ISM) in safety, the vessel is additionally equipped with Quantum Zero Speed stabilisers for optimal comfort at rest or while sailing. The explorer yacht’s range stands heads and shoulders above that of its peers in East Indonesia. Able to cover vast distances in a short span of time and with utmost comfort— in any sea condition — the vessel enables explorers on board to experience the most varied, enjoyable, and rewarding coastal cruise itineraries in this wild and stunningly beautiful region of the world. A 2019 refurbishment overseen by Dutch yacht design maestro Cor D. Rover brings the vessel to world-class cruising specifications. Guests can expect to embrace a distinguished sense of history and seafaring evolution when they set foot on this one-of-a-kind cruise ship. Inside the five-deck, 15-cabin Aqua Blu, Cor has tastefully paired a brass-and-ivory interior theme with generous and inviting indoor and outdoor social spaces, including a sun deck. Each of the 15 individually-designed cabins aboard the Aqua Blu cruise ship are an oasis in the vast East Indonesian sea. Conceptualized with modern luxury and ultimate comfort in mind by renowned Dutch yacht designer Cor D. Rover, these private sanctuaries lend a luxurious sense of home, offering the perfect respite after days filled with adventure and activities.
