Raja Ampat Cruise — Private Cruises by Phinisi & Yacht

In One Sentence

A private cruise, not a fixed-route expedition ship

A private Raja Ampat cruise charters a whole yacht or phinisi for your group alone — 2 to 16 people, not 20 to 80+ strangers on a mass-market expedition ship. Vessels like the 51-metre Silolona and the phinisi Tiare offer a custom route and personalised service instead of a fixed itinerary.

Whole-boat rates run USD 3,000–37,714 per night; per-cabin from USD 400–2,000 per night.
