Alila is well known for its stylish resorts in Bali and beyond . . . but did you know they also have an awesome boat? Called Alila Purnama this luxury, handcrafted vessel in the style of a phinisi boasts ultra modern accommodation for up to 10 guests in five gorgeous cabins including one master suite.

The voyages are no small undertaking either. This coming October the boat will set sail from the island of Ambon and continue north to the archipelago of Raja Ampat, one of the last true paradises on earth. Next, the ship will cruise through stunning dive  sites and islands in the Banda Sea and Ceram Sea.

Guests will journey through a remote land of almost unimaginable beauty, spotting dolphins and pilot whales at Nusa Laut, diving in waters around Misool, one of the ‘Four Kings’ of Raja Ampat and can take a dip in the Dampier Strait where fish school in their hundreds.

The seven-night Ambon – Raja Ampat Expedition starts from USD 8,460 per person based on two sharing a suite. This includes exclusive live-a-board arrangements, all land transfers, scheduled excursions and meals,  refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages, unlimited dives, activities such as snorkeling, shore excursions and island hopping, all equipment, admission fees and permits to the National Parks.
