Introducing Silolona’s Cabin Cruises
For those who dream of Indonesia beyond the familiar, a new way to sail is quietly unfolding.
Silolona—one of Indonesia’s most storied luxury phinisi yachts—is now opening select voyages throughout the year as cabin cruises, allowing guests to book a single cabin and join a small, like-minded group for an extraordinary journey at sea.
This marks a rare opportunity to experience Silolona’s legendary itineraries without chartering the entire vessel. Each cabin cruise is limited, intimate, and thoughtfully designed—preserving the spirit of private exploration while welcoming individual travellers or couples seeking something truly exceptional.
A Journey to the Legendary Spice Islands
The first cabin cruise of 2026 sets sail 22–29 March, charting a course through the enchanting Banda Islands, long known as the Spice Islands. Once at the heart of the global nutmeg trade, this remote archipelago remains one of Indonesia’s most evocative and least-visited regions.
Highlights of the voyage include:
- Banda Neira, with its beautifully preserved colonial architecture and volcanic landscapes
- Run Island, steeped in extraordinary history that once shaped global empires
- Pristine reefs, untouched waters, and island life that feels wonderfully unchanged by time
As with all Silolona journeys, the itinerary is guided rather than rigid. Routes may subtly evolve in response to weather, sea conditions, and the rhythm of the group—ensuring each voyage unfolds naturally and beautifully.
Life Aboard Silolona
Life on board is defined by space, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for Indonesian maritime heritage. Hand-built using traditional techniques, Silolona blends old-world elegance with modern comfort. Days are shaped by snorkelling, island visits, and quiet moments on deck; evenings bring refined dining, warm conversation, and the gentle motion of the sea.
For travellers who value cultural depth, nature, and meaningful exploration, this is not simply a cruise—it is a passage through history and place.
Cabin Options & Rates
The March 2026 Banda Islands cabin cruise offers the following accommodation options (published rates, inclusive of 20% commission; 12% VAT applies):
- Suites (3 available): USD 4,233 per night, per suite
- Double Cabins (2 available): USD 3,000 per night, per cabin
Each cabin accommodates up to two guests sharing, with full access to all onboard experiences, activities, and services.
A Rare Way to Sail Indonesia
Cabin cruises aboard Silolona are intentionally limited and available only on select departures each year. For guests seeking a once-in-a-lifetime journey—without the formality of a full charter—this is an exceptional way to discover Indonesia’s most remote and storied waters.
For detailed itineraries, terms, or tailored advice, the Silolona Sojourns team is always pleased to assist.
Some journeys are not meant to be rushed. They are meant to be sailed.
