Frequently asked questions about Indonesia
Why should I cruise to Indonesia?
Indonesia is a tapestry of islands, cultures and landscapes. Cruising provides a seamless way to explore its coastline, from volcanic islands to quiet fishing villages.
With Fred. Olsen, the journey is unhurried and immersive – time to step ashore, absorb local life and enjoy the calm of the sea in between.
When is the best time to cruise to Indonesia?
Indonesia is most comfortable from late spring through early autumn. These months bring drier weather and calmer seas, ideal for exploring coastal towns, islands, and scenic waterways at a relaxed pace.
What can I see and do on a Indonesia cruise?
An Indonesia cruise brings you close to sacred temples, volcanic landscapes and remarkable island wildlife. You can:
- Visit Besakih Temple on Bali’s slopes, one of the country’s most important and atmospheric temple complexes.
- See Komodo dragons in Komodo National Park, a rare chance to observe these unique reptiles in their natural habitat.

What should I pack and what should I know before cruising to Indonesia?
