Savour a sunrise breakfast on board against the backdrop of 300-metre tall cliffs of Pulau Manuk, a volcanic island rising 3 kilometres from the seabed.

After sundown, cruise northwards to Pulau Run, a historic island traded by the British for Manhattan in 1667.

Approach the Banda Islands as the sun rises, greeted by Kora-Kora war canoes as the boat enters the harbor.
