For Summer, Star Clipper sails to the spice island of Bali, operating a choice of exciting itineraries exploring the islands of the Indonesian archipelago. These voyages provide a vibrant mix of culture and natural beauty including the dramatic volcanic scenery at the village on Sumba Island, the dragons of Komodo and the beautiful corals and sandy beaches of the Gili Islands. The people are friendly, and their smiles are genuine. The clarity of the water and the variety of marine life are amazing, and many of these exquisite islands and surrounding waters are designated national parks, preserved forever to explore and enjoy. For snorkelling, or just curling your toes in the sand, this is paradise found. There really is no better time to start planning your 2019/2020 winter cruise escape.
