Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights, along with all the perks that made this cruise unforgettable.

Trip Highlights:

  • Komodo Island: Seeing Komodo dragons in the wild was unbelievable! These giant lizards are only found on Komodo Island, and they add a wild, almost prehistoric thrill to the trip.

  • Java Sea & Java Island: Java offers deep cultural experiences. Borobudur Temple, dating back to the 9th century, was breathtaking in both size and detail—a true masterpiece of Buddhist architecture.

  • Kuala Lumpur: The city buzzes with energy! Exploring the Petronas Towers, street markets, and neighborhoods full of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences gave me a real feel for Kuala Lumpur’s diversity.
