4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Surabaya, the vibrant capital of East Java, Indonesia, is a dynamic and bustling cruise port that offers a fascinating blend of historical depth, urban energy, and access to some of Java's most iconic natural and cultural attractions. As Indonesia's second-largest city, Surabaya played a pivotal role in the nation's struggle for independence, earning it the moniker "City of Heroes." Today, it's a thriving commercial hub, characterized by its impressive colonial architecture, modern skyscrapers, bustling markets, and a rich multicultural tapestry.
A cruise stop in Surabaya provides a compelling urban experience, allowing visitors to explore historical landmarks, discover diverse culinary delights, and delve into the city's unique heritage. Beyond the city limits, it serves as a strategic gateway for longer excursions to awe-inspiring natural wonders like the active volcanoes Mount Bromo and Ijen Crater, or to the ancient Trowulan Archaeological Park, once the capital of the mighty Majapahit Empire, making it a truly diverse and engaging destination.
Visit the House of Sampoerna, a beautifully preserved Dutch colonial-style building that now functions as a museum and active cigarette factory. Learn about the history of the Sampoerna family and the traditional hand-rolling process of kretek (clove cigarettes).
Tip: The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Indonesia's industrial heritage and often includes a viewing platform to observe workers hand-rolling cigarettes.
Immerse yourself in Surabaya's rich history by exploring its Old Town (Kota Tua), particularly the vibrant Arab Quarter (Ampel District). Discover narrow alleyways, bustling markets, traditional shophouses, and visit the historic Ampel Mosque, one of Java's oldest.
Tip: Be prepared for a sensory experience with vibrant sights, sounds, and smells. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
Explore a real Russian Foxtrot-class submarine, the Monkasel (Monumen Kapal Selam), converted into a unique museum. Walk through its compartments and learn about its history and the life of submariners.
Tip: It's a surprisingly spacious and fascinating experience, offering a different perspective on naval history.
Pay tribute to Indonesia's independence struggle at the iconic Heroes Monument (Tugu Pahlawan). This towering monument commemorates the Battle of Surabaya in 1945. The adjacent 10th November Museum provides context to the nationalist uprising.
Tip: The museum offers compelling exhibits and dioramas that bring this pivotal moment in Indonesian history to life.
Indulge in the diverse and flavorful East Javanese cuisine. Try local specialties like Rujak Cingur (fruit and vegetable salad with beef snout), Sate Klopo (coconut-infused satay), or Lontong Balap (rice cakes with bean sprouts).
Tip: Look for reputable local eateries or join a food tour to safely experience authentic street food flavors.
For an unforgettable experience, consider a longer overland excursion from Surabaya to the awe-inspiring Mount Bromo (an active volcano with a stunning sunrise view) or the ancient Trowulan Archaeological Park (remnants of the Majapahit Empire).
Tip: These are significant, multi-hour excursions often requiring an overnight stay if you want to catch the Bromo sunrise. Book well in advance through your cruise line or a specialized tour operator. They are typically for longer port calls or pre/post-cruise extensions.
