Aqua Blu, 13 Night Bali, Singapore & Indonesia Expedition ex Ubud, Bali, Indonesia to Singapore

Enter the surreal landscapes of Komodo National Park, the Spice Islands, and more as one of just a few select passengers aboard the 15-cabin Aqua Blu. You’ll scuba, snorkel, and kayak through pristine waters, walk the rosy sands of Pink Beach, and discover unique Indonesian traditions. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to spot Komodo dragons, manta rays, whale sharks, and more.

It’s everything you love about river cruising—new destinations every day, stress-free travel, and a small ship atmosphere—in a whole new destination. In addition to your time sailing around Indonesia, you’ll spend six nights on land with an immersive program designed uniquely for Uniworld—picture a tropical escape in Bali, a sophisticated stay in Singapore’s Marina Bay, and a wealth of memorable local experiences.

This Limited-Edition Collection cruise only sails twice in 2027—secure your spot today!

Day 1 – Bali, Ubud
Arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport. If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the Kappa Senses Ubud, a luxury spa resort tucked away amidst Bali’s rice paddies and lush tropical jungle.

Day 2 – Ubud
Today’s fascinating excursion will take you to the rural heartland of Bali, where you’ll find a holy temple located on the southern slope of Mount Batukaru and the stunning, tiered rice terraces at Jatiluwih.

Later this evening, join us for an included dinner at your hotel.

Day 3 – Ubud
A favorite of expats, Bali’s cultural capital, dropped right in the middle of the island’s lush jungle environment, boasts a plethora of museums and temples, a thriving restaurant scene, and colorful markets.
This evening, dine on an indulgent meal of Balinese dishes accompanied by a traditional kecak dance performance.

Day 4 – Ubud, Benoa (Embark)
Begin your day by immersing yourself in the life of Bali’s villagers. You’ll partake in traditional activities such as weaving and coconut picking. After taking a break for lunch in the village, transfer to the Benoa to receive a warm welcome from the crew of the Aqua Blu. As you settle into one of just 15 staterooms aboard your luxurious ocean explorer yacht, we’ll set sail to Moyo island to begin our cruise.

Day 5 – Moyo Island

Day 9 – Horseshoe Bay, Pink Beach
After a morning sailing through a spectacular sea passage, arrive in Horseshoe Bay, a dramatic curvature of land that is the remains of an ancient volcano caldera.

Day 10 – Tatawa Besar, Sabulon
