Bali, Indonesia Cruises

Bali, Indonesia Cruise Port

Situated between Java and Lombok on the archipelago of Indonesia, Bali is a magical place that has held on to its Hindu beliefs despite being surrounded by a Muslim majority in Indonesia. Since the 1920s Bali has become a cruise destination that tourists flock to, not only for its sheer beauty, but also for its unique culture. The island lies on the Indian Ocean and is surrounded by coral reefs. The island also has a focal point in the stunning mountains in the center, which are actually for the most part active volcanoes. These include the periodically smoldering Mount Batur, which you can climb when large plumes of ash aren’t erupting from its center. Experience the best of Indonesia on a cruise to Bali.

• Relax with a Balinese massage or body scrub. The island has its own rituals for relaxing that are relatively inexpensive.

• In Ubud, explore the Sacred Monkey Forest where you’ll wander through beautiful trails and encounter the curious monkeys.

• See the 150-person Kecak dance. This is one of the many forms of artistic expression that Bali’s residents devote themselves to.

• Visit Pura Besakih, one of the holiest temples on the island. This is more of a temple complex with buildings dating back as far as the 1100s.
