Ayana Cruises, part of Ayana Hotels’ Ayana Komodo Waecicu Beach resort, has launched its 2025 schedule for voyages on its luxury yacht, AYANA Lako di’a.
For the first time, guests are invited to explore Komodo more leisurely with the exclusive new three-day, two-night voyage, in addition to the two-day, one-night journey introduced last year.
The Ayana Lako di’a is a modern phinisi, a wooden sailing ship, that has been recognised as part of the seafaring cultures of South Sulawesi and listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The luxury vessel houses nine elegantly appointed cabins, including the expansive 69m² Master Suite with a private balcony and ocean-view bathtub, and six 20m² Luxury Suites, all with ensuite bathrooms and stunning sea views. Onboard facilities include a lounge, bar, indoor dining area, and spacious daybeds on the main deck.
The 2025 season of AYANA Lako di’a cruises will run from April 18 to October 18 on selected dates, with four exclusive three-day, two-night voyages.
Taking guests to Komodo National Park, the journey highlights include some of the park’s most scenic sights including Kalong Island, possible sightings of Komodo dragons, snorkelling at Pink Beach, and a sunset hike on Padar island.
Exclusive to the three-day, two-night sailings are additional destinations such as Taka Makassar’s sand dunes, snorkeling at Manta Point, known for its manta rays, and Mauwan Island.
Both itineraries include full-board gourmet meals, free-flow mineral water and non-alcoholic beverages, and a wide range of activities such as snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, yoga, film screenings, Komodo National Park entrance fee, airport transfers, and digital photo documentation.
Prices for one night in the Master Suite starts from 35,000,000 rupiah (US$2,146) for single occupancy, or 24,000,000 rupiah per person for double occupancy; while one night in the Luxury Suites starts from 25,000,000 rupiah for single occupancy, or 38,000,000 rupiah per person for double occupancy.
