In this week's episode, we took a deep dive into Aqua Blu's itineraries.
All Aqua Expedition ships get a full refurbishment every year. They are kept in top condition.
Aqua Blu holds no more than 30 guests onboard.
.
Aqua Blue visits the Komodo Islands, Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands.
.
From April to September, you will find them in Bali and the Komodo Islands.
In October & November, you will visit the Spice Islands
December, January & February, we go to the Raja Ampat region.
In all of these regions, you can set sail for 7 nights.
Of course, you will need to get from one region to the other, and some cruise lines call these repositioning cruises, but Aqua Expeditions calls these itineraries 12-night cross-destination expeditions .
The top-selling itinerary I will need to book you on early is the itinerary incorporating the Spice Islands with Raja Ampat. You can also explore the itinerary that incorporates the forgotten Islands and spice islands and a little bit of the band of Sea Islands along the way.
.
Let's start with Raja Ampat: This is the number one diving site in the world, it is on the top of the bucket list for people who dive or even snorkel. It is the most marine bio-diverse island on the planet.
There's so much to see here on land and by the water.
.
Moving on to Komodo/Flores
In this area, you will enjoy the absolute highlight of this cruise! You will be taken out in a small boat. They will take you to a location only known to Aqua Expeditions, where you can experience a Blue Whale Shark sighting!
This is a very rare and special experience in which you can experience the blue whale shark sightings.
Aqua Expeditions is the only vessel to experience this. They have a great friendship with some of the local fishermen. This takes place very early in the morning. You were awakened to depart for this special activity even before sunrise.
As the fishermen throw their nets into the water, small pieces of fish go into the water, and it attracts the Blue Whale Sharks. The Blue Whales emerge from beneath the ocean. You don't have to be in the water to experience this. But, many people hop into the water and experience swimming with the Blue Whale Sharks. It is life-changing!
.
Next, we discussed the seven-night Comodo National Park to Bali itinerary.
12 Night Flores to Spice Islands Maumere to Ambon.
.
