Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are true paradises both on earth and below the surface of their pristine waters. Sail through channels dotted with small, uninhabited islands, and hop into Zodiacs or kayaks to have white-sand beaches to yourself. Dive or snorkel among vibrant marine life from Raja Ampat to Bunaken Marine Reserve, and spot Komodo dragons, orangutans, and red birds of paradise in their natural habitats.
Heartily welcomed by friendly villagers, discover life in rarely explored places full of ancient rituals and traditional art. Add in the cosmopolitan delights of Singapore and Bali and the pull of this far-flung, diverse region becomes impossible to ignore.

It is a privilege to visit the far-flung and pristine islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, a richly diverse and culturally fascinating geography. And to the privilege of cruising in this region, National Geographic Orion adds the luxury of comfort—a quality of shipboard life and a philosophy of wellness designed to relax and revitalize body, mind, and spirit.
It has been years since any ships have visited the remarkably remote Asmat villages of West Papua, Indonesia. Recently, National Geographic Orion returned to the region and our guests were welcomed with the most jubilant celebration.
Learn more about what makes National Geographic Orion a unique home base for undersea exploration in Indonesia's most spectacular reef system.
Next year we’re returning to Indonesia, the world’s most expansive archipelago, with a compelling array of new offerings. See what awaits in this earthly paradise.
On Indonesia’s Lesser Sunda Islands, the Komodo dragon is king. These remarkable predators live up to their legend, eating any and all other animals (wild boar, deer, snakes, birds, goats, even smaller dragons!) that share their tropical domain.
Explorer, anthropologist, filmmaker, author, and public speaker Dr. Lawrence Blair, known for the Emmy-winning BBC/PBS series Ring of Fire, will join guests on Lindblad's new expedition to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Photographers David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes have explored this marine paradise numerous times, and one thing they’ve learned is to always expect the unexpected.
The isolation of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea has allowed for the evolution of extraordinary avian and aquatic life, while at the same time preserving unique cultural monuments and indigenous arts. These compelling elements all come together to create a travel experience like nowhere else in the world.
The largest Buddhist monument in the world, Borobudur Temple rises towards the heavens from a Javanese hilltop. This complex feat of architecture is an absolute must-see for any traveler to Indonesia.
It’s great to just wander around the island villages where the people are so welcoming and friendly and take time to show us their way of life.
