SINGAPORE, 24 November 2025: Ayana Cruises releases its 2026 shared trip schedule for its flagship luxury phinisi*, Ayana Lako di’a, which was named Best Adventure Cruises in Southern Asia at the 2025 World Luxury Travel Awards.
From April to October 2026, Ayana Lako di’a will explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park with a new season of two- and three-day cruises.
The Ayana Lako di’a is a 54-metre ‘phinisi’ that replicates the traditional wooden sailing ships of South Sulawesi. It features nine cabins, including a 69-sqm Master Suite with a private balcony and ocean-view bathtub, as well as six luxury suites with ensuite bathrooms. The luxury sailing ship also features 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 with a two-day, one-night journey. Cruise highlights include a visit to 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; snorkelling at the Pink Beach; and a sunset hike to Padar Island’s panoramic lookout.
The three-day, two-night itinerary extends the adventure with visits to Taka Makassar’s dunes, Manta Point for the chance to swim alongside manta rays, and Siaba Island, an idyllic setting for relaxation and snorkelling.
All sailings include full-board gourmet dining, free-flow mineral water and non-alcoholic beverages, a wide range of activities such as snorkelling, 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.
