  • Enjoy a balance of idyllic days luxuriating at your beachfront hotel and exploring cultural landmarks that include a Hindu temple, bustling markets, countryside villages and a monument that commemorate Bali’s independence.

    DAY 1

    You are met at the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and transferred to your hotel where the day is at your leisure to enjoy the amenities of the resort or to head out and see some of the local sites on your own.

    The Apurva Kempinski Bali is a luxurious beachfront hotel perched atop a majestic cliff and offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.

    Check in is at 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed. Guests arriving early are welcome to store their luggage at Reception and begin enjoying the resort.

    All meals on are your own today.

    DAY 2

    Following breakfast at the hotel, the morning will be at your leisure, allowing you to explore freely and then enjoy lunch on your own.

    Later in the day you will be met and transferred to a lovely beachside restaurant in the Nusa Dua area where you will enjoy a delicious dinner of authentic Indonesian and Balinese dishes. .

    Following dinner, return to your hotel where the evening is at leisure.

    DAY 3

    Enjoy breakfast at your hotel followed by a journey into the countryside to visit small villages known for their trades and local temples.

    Your first stop is at Celuk Village which is known for its production of gold and silver handicrafts. Here, almost all of the villagers are skilled at crafting beautiful pieces that are sold worldwide.

    Continue to Penglipuran Culture Village where you will be charmed by the beautifully landscaped homes sitting neatly in a row along a street that runs through the center of the village toward the local temple. The village people live under strict rules just like their ancestors centuries ago, and their architecture is a reflection of this tradition: the front side of the house faces Mt. Agung, home of the gods and each house has its own temple.

    Through the years, Penglipuran Village has evolved into a community-based tourism destination. You can enter any of the houses where you’ll be welcomed by friendly residents who are typically willing to show you around their compound, each following old Balinese spatial and architectural rules.

    Following a typical Balinese lunch, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day and evening are at your leisure with dinner on your own.

    DAY 4

    Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before settling any incidentals and checking out. En-route to the ship you will drive to Denpasar City, the current capital of Bali Province. Historically, it was the capital of the Badung Empire, controlling the southern region of Bali Island from the end of 18th century until conquered by the Dutch in 1906.

    Your first stop will be at the Bajra Sandhi Monument, which commemorates the Balinese struggle against Dutch colonialism. Designed in the shape of a Hindu bell, the monument contains dozens of detailed dioramas that depict Bali’s long history, including the introduction of Hinduism and the country’s eventual independence.

    Next, visit the traditional Badung Market which is located in the heart of the city. It is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day making it the busiest market in Bali. This market has become the main trade center for all convenience goods from groceries to spices, fish and meat, clothing, kitchen crafts and batik textiles. It offers a glimpse into the hustle and bustle of the lives of the locals. If you find something you like don’t be shy to negotiate!

    Next, visit the glorious Temple of Jagatnatha, a Hindu Kahyangan Temple.

    Stop briefly at the Bali Beach Hotel for a refreshment break prior to transferring to the port where you will embark the ship.

  • Just beyond Bali’s familiar shores, discover the Soul of Sumba on an extraordinary four-day escape—where ancient traditions and vibrant culture await. Let the island’s ancient rituals and warm hospitality, awaken your senses—from the moment you land and settle into luxurious beachfront comfort, to immersive village encounters and unforgettable evenings under starlit skies. This exclusive journey promises authentic connection, relaxation, and discovery in one of Indonesia’s most enchanting destinations.

    Special Notes:

    •Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below about airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

    •Please advise the RSSC Reservations team when you book this program should you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. Requests will be sent to our local ground operators for review. There is a set menu meal on Day 3. Changes will not be able to be accommodated at the last minute.

    DAY 1

    Upon arrival at Bali’s International Airport, a warm welcome awaits—your local English-speaking guide will be standing by in the arrivals hall ready to escort you to your private, air-conditioned vehicle for a seamless transfer to your hotel for check-in.

    Solo travellers will transfer in a sedan and couples in a van. Sedans hold 2 pieces of luggage, plus 2 carry-on bags. Vans hold 4 pieces of luggage plus, 2 or 3 carry-on bags. If you have more luggage than is permissible, a larger vehicle may be required for additional cost. Please advise your booking agent at least 21 days before sailing if a larger vehicle is required.

    Check in time is at 3:00pm. Should you arrive earlier your room may not be ready. In this case we suggest purchasing an extra night to guarantee availability when you arrive.

    Today’s meals are left at leisure at your personal expense.

    Guests can enjoy dining privileges between sister properties Andaz Bali and the Hyatt Regency Sanur, allowing you to experience the amenities and culinary offerings of each property with ease. Any dinner charges that may be incurred at Hyatt Regency Sanur may be applied directly to your Andaz Bali room account should you choose to dine there. For Regent guests, breakfast has been included at either resort, with Hyatt offering an extensive buffet selection and Andaz featuring a la carte breakfast experience.

    Note: Due to luggage restrictions on the flights during this program, we recommend packing one suitcase per person and leaving any excess at the hotel and transfer to the port on day 4. Your Welcome Letter will provide further details.

    DAY 2

    After a restful night in Sanur, enjoy breakfast and then check out of your hotel settling any incidentals and storing any excess luggage before your transfer to Ngurah Rai Airport for a flight to the island of Sumba.

    Located in eastern Indonesia, Sumba is renowned for its rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage. Unlike its more developed neighbors, Sumba remains largely unspoiled, with vast savannahs, rolling hills, and remote villages where ancient customs thrive. The local Marapu religion shapes daily life with elaborate rituals and sacred ceremonies, while traditional houses—distinctive with their towering, peaked roofs—dot the countryside. Sumba is also famous for exquisite handwoven ikat textiles, crafted by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations. The island’s biodiversity is equally remarkable, home to rare bird species and unique flora, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

    Upon arrival here, you’ll be greeted and taken to Makan Dulu, an open-air restaurant run by the Sumba Hospitality Foundation, a local non-profit organization. This social enterprise gives approximately fifteen students hands-on training in culinary and service skills—every meal served supports their vocational education and reinvests into the foundation.

    After lunch, you’ll visit the Sumba Cultural Centre, where you'll have a concise introduction to the island’s traditions—everything from textile weaving to ancestral rituals.

    A short drive brings you to Waikaroko, a traditional village where life remains beautifully anchored in ancestral rhythm.

    You’ll be welcomed with a song and dance - vibrant expressions of local warmth and pride—before being invited to walk among the tall, thatched uma, homes that shelter both the living and the spirits of those who came before.

    Meet with village elders to learn about Marapu, Sumba’s ancestral belief system that continues to shape daily life on the island. Rooted in animism, Marapu centers on maintaining harmony between humans, nature, and the spirit world, with rituals often tied to agriculture, ancestor worship, and sacred sites.

    Next, proceed to your hotel to check in. Located along the shores of a coral reef and bordered by turquoise lagoons and traditional villages, Cap Karoso serves as an elegant base for discovering the Indonesian island of Sumba.

    As your day winds down, consider a stroll along the beautiful shoreline. Don’t miss what is sure to be a stunning sunset!

    Dinner is at your leisure, allowing you to choose when and where to dine in the calm surroundings of the resort.

    During your stay you may wish to experience the variety of aquatic environments surrounding the resort, including swimming or snorkeling in the serene Karoso Lagoon, surfing at Pero, fishing with local fishermen, or exploring the distinctive turquoise waters of Weekuri saltwater lake.

    For those looking for something more serene, expert Sumbanese instructors provide daily yoga and meditation sessions that incorporate unique elements of Sumbanese tradition and the spa, situated within a traditional Sumbanese residence, features treatments inspired by ancient shamanic healing rituals utilizing botanicals sourced from their on-site farm and neighboring communities. Spa treatments are an additional cost.

    Snorkel Equipment, kayaks, E-bikes or mountain bikes along with a farm tour are complimentary.

    You may review available options at https://capkaroso.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Experience-Guide-2026-3.pdf. Any tours or activities with a cost are additional and payable locally at the resort. If there is a tour you would like to reserve, we suggest contacting the resort directly in advance for availability. Reservations need to be made by 6:00pm the evening prior. Call or WhatsApp +62 811 296 476. If dialing by phone from the USA, you may need to dial 011 first.

    DAY 3

    After breakfast the day is yours to partake in an experience offered by the resort (additional charges may apply) or to simply relax by one of the two pools, the beach or at the Spa.

    In the evening, gather again for a private group beach dinner including a three-course set menu, live Humba acoustic music, a traditional Sumba dance, and quite possibly the serene view of grazing Sumbanese horses.

    DAY 4

    After breakfast, check-out, settling any incidentals before your transfer to the airport and the flight back to Bali.

    Upon arrival in Bali, you will be met by our local guide who will assist you with a transfer from the airport to the pier where your ship will be waiting for you to embark.

    Expected Weather:

    Hot and Dry. December in Sumba is typically warm with daytime temperatures averaging 30–32°C (86–90°F). Rain is possible but usually brief and scattered. Humidity can rise during midday, especially inland. The coastal breeze offers some relief, but sun exposure is strong throughout the day.

    What to Bring:

    This is a casual and culturally immersive program, so lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended.

    Please keep local customs in mind:

    •Avoid revealing clothing; covered shoulders and knee-length shorts or skirts are appropriate for village visits.

    •Bring a hat or head covering, sunscreen, sunglasses, and mosquito repellent—especially for early morning or evening activities.

    •Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes are essential for village terrain. Flip-flops or sandals are not recommended for cultural visits.

    •A small pack of tissues or wet wipes can also be useful, as facilities may be basic in rural areas.

    •While dinner is relaxed, you may wish to bring a casual outfit for the evening.

    Local Currency:

    The local currency in Sumba is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Credit cards are not widely accepted outside of a few hotels and restaurants, so it is essential to carry cash. While some places may accept US Dollars, it is not guaranteed. Rupiah is strongly preferred for local purchases, tips, and entry fees.

    We recommend bringing smaller denominations of USD for emergency use, but it’s best to exchange money before arriving in Sumba, either in Bali, or at the airport. ATMs in Sumba are limited and may not always be reliable, so prepare accordingly.

    Electricity

    Rooms are typically equipped with 220-volt, two-round-pin (European-style) electrical outlets. We recommend traveling with a universal adapter if you plan to use electronic devices from other countries.

    Luggage information

    On the flights between Bali and Sumba guests will be permitted to check one bag per person weighing no more than 20kg (44lbs) and one small carry on that will fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

    Any additional or overweight pieces will be in excess, and fees will be paid to the airline at your expense when checking in. For this reason, should you wish, you may store excess luggage in Bali at your hotel. It will be transferred to the pier on Day 4 of the program.

    Please ensure that any excess bags left for storage are tagged properly and visibly with your full name and suite number on the ship. Note that Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the hotel, nor our local ground operator are responsible or liable for any lost or missing items. We do not recommend leaving valuables behind or in checked luggage. You should keep any valuables, medications and documents with you in your carry-on handbag.

    1.Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) - Guests must obtain a Doctor’s Certificate mentioning their medical condition and the need to carry a POC. Further paperwork may be required by the airline.

    2.CPAP Machine NOT being used in flight – please advise RSSC at least 95 days before your cruise if you will bring a CPAP on the internal flight(s) used in this land program. Please supply the make, model and battery type.

    *Guests are required to bring with them any details from the manufacturer regarding the CPAP specifications. While most modern CPAP machines are FAA-approved for in-flight use, having a copy of your manufacturer’s FAA-approval status will help to quickly clear any confusion that may arise.

    * Failure to provide the above details in a timely manner may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which Regent Seven Seas Cruises nor our local ground operator will be responsible for.

    *Some hotels do not provide distilled water. While we can certainly request this for you, we cannot guarantee that it will be available. If received in a timely manner, at least 95 days before sailing, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive. We highly recommend packing your own supply especially on programs that travel to more remote locations in order to avoid not having it. Please keep in mind the rule for liquids in carry-on bags. Many hotels will charge for distilled water. If there is a fee, this will be added to your hotel incidental account to be paid at check-out. Fees will vary from hotel to hotel.

    Documents and Visa Requirements:

    Guests must carry a valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity

    All travelers entering Indonesia must complete the Indonesia Customs Declaration (e-CD) online at Indonesian Customs Declaration (e-CD) should submit their details, including the date of arrival, three days before entering Indonesia

Please ensure that all documents are identical in spelling to the names provided for your cruise reservation including first, middle and last name.

    Manifests generated by the cruise line must match your travel documents. Guests are responsible to make sure that there are enough pages in their passports for any visas that are required – Minimum two pages for each visa.
