Discover Komodo by Boutique Yacht: AYANA Announces New 2026 Sailings

AYANA Cruises proudly announces the 2026 shared trip schedule for its flagship luxury phinisi, AYANA Lako di’a, fresh from being named Best Adventure Cruises in Southern Asia at the prestigious 2025 World Luxury Travel Awards. Recognized globally for excellence in luxury travel, AYANA Cruises, part of AYANA’s diverse hospitality offerings, delivers an unparalleled blend of five-star service, luxurious ocean voyages, and immersive nature-based experiences. From April to October 2026, AYANA Lako di’a will once again invite guests to explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park with a new season of two- and three-day journeys.

The AYANA Lako di’a is a 54-meter state-of-the-art phinisi that pays homage to the traditional wooden sailing ships of South Sulawesi. Featuring nine elegantly appointed cabins, including a 69-square-meter Master Suite with private balcony and ocean-view bathtub, as well as six Luxury Suites with ensuite bathrooms and sweeping sea views, the vessel offers a truly world-class sailing experience. Onboard facilities include a lounge, bar, indoor dining area, and spacious daybeds across the main deck.

The 2026 voyages continue to showcase the natural wonders of Komodo National Park through immersive itineraries. The two-day, one-night journey highlights Kalong Island, where guests can witness thousands of fruit bats take flight at sunset; a guided trek on Komodo Island for encounters with the legendary Komodo dragons; snorkeling at the stunning Pink Beach; and a sunset hike to Padar Island’s iconic panoramic lookout.

The three-day, two-night itinerary extends the adventure with visits to Taka Makassar’s sand dunes, Manta Point for the chance to swim alongside graceful manta rays, and Siaba Island, an idyllic setting for relaxation and snorkeling.

All sailings include full-board gourmet dining, free-flow mineral water and non-alcoholic beverages, a wide range of activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, yoga, and evening film screenings, as well as round-trip transfers to Komodo International Airport, Komodo National Park entrance fees, and professional digital photo documentation.
