TIGER BLUE, EASTERN INDONESIA

There are around 17,000 islands of Indonesia, some thronging with people and rich in local culture, others so far flung that their beaches are unmarked by human footprints. Tiger Blue will take you on a voyage of exploration that puts you in touch with some of the most remarkable islands that have barely changed since the days of the great 19^th century explorer Alfred Russell Wallace.

The Spice Islands of Banda, for example, once the centre of the 17^th century nutmeg trade and now home to super-sized coral gardens, huge forts, whales and hammerheads. Or Komodo Island; a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you’ll encounter the famous dragons, and dive amongst dolphins and manta rays from breathtakingly beautiful beaches. Or the remote Raja Ampat – a collection of islands that are barely inhabited, but teeming with life beneath the surface. Over 1,320 species of reef fish and more than 500 different corals have been recorded in the pristine, underwater wilderness of the ‘Four Kings’.

But when you voyage aboard Tiger Blue, the journey becomes the destination. You will be able to fully indulge your love of watersports, dive and snorkel to your hearts content, sleep on deck beneath the stars and dine on superb, chef-prepared cuisine worthy of a first class boutique hotel.
