For the first time, independent travelers can explore hidden Indonesia aboard Silolona | News
Phinisi yacht charter specialists Silolona Sojourns have announced that solo travelers and couples can now book individual cabins aboard their handcrafted vessel Silolona on select voyages in 2026 and 2027. Traditionally only available on private charters, these new single cabin bookings open up the Silolona Sojourns experience to independent travelers seeking adventure without sacrificing privacy or luxury.
Silolona, the company’s first handcrafted phinisi yacht, features five elegantly appointed suites – three King and two Queen – each named after different regions of Indonesia and decorated with original art that reflects that region’s rich culture. Guests can also enjoy indoor and outdoor lounge and dining areas, sun-filled daybeds, a library and a fully equipped dive shop and dive room.
Silolona Sojourns are known for their deep connection to Indonesia’s lesser-explored islands and their ability to craft itineraries that embrace slow travel and immerse guests in local culture. Their tours take guests through the pristine waters of Raja Ampat, Banda and Komodo, offering unparalleled opportunities for diving and marine exploration.
With the introduction of individual cabins, travelers can connect with like-minded adventurers and enjoy freshly sourced, beautifully presented cuisine on board, while still having plenty of privacy and the freedom to explore independently. Every Silolona trip offers something for everyone, from walking through lush forests to snorkeling and diving in crystal clear waters, or simply relaxing on board or on a secluded beach in complete peace and quiet.
Explore Komodo and Raja Ampat in Fall 2026
Silolona Sojourns has announced two itineraries with individual cabin bookings in fall 2026.
From September 29 to October 5, guests can explore the legendary Komodo Archipelago, combining world-class diving and snorkeling with tours of wild island terrain. Travelers can encounter the famous Komodo dragons on a guided walk of Rinca Island, hike the dramatic ridges of Padar Island, or relax on Pantai Merah, the iconic pink beach. Days are filled with snorkeling, paddle boarding or simply soaking up the tropical sun, while evenings include dining under the stars on secluded shores.
This seven-day trip costs £2,300 GBP / $3,000 USD per night per cabin, based on two people sharing a double cabin on board Silolona. Prices include all food and drinks, diving, planned activities and accommodation.
From November 23 to 30, travelers are invited to explore Raja Ampat, celebrated as the most biodiverse marine region in the world. With more than 600 islands to explore, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure on land and at sea. Silolona guides guests through the Misool Islands to hidden coves and pristine cliffs where jagged limestone peaks rise dramatically from turquoise waters. Below the surface, guests can dive among vibrant coral gardens and encounter rare marine life, from dugongs and hawksbill turtles to manta rays and whale sharks.

Explore Banda and Komodo in 2027
Komodo returns to the Silolona Sojourns route in 2027, with individual cabin bookings available from June 12 to 17, providing the perfect summer getaway. Silolona also offers two options to explore the Banda region, with trips scheduled from April 23 to 30 and October 24 to 31. Home to the historic Spice Islands, the Banda Sea remains one of Indonesia’s most pristine regions. Gentle trade winds ensure a relaxing sail from island to island, while guests can immerse themselves in local culture and discover the area’s incredibly diverse marine life, which thrives among lava-formed underwater gardens. Explore evocative Dutch-era mansions, ancient forts and former nutmeg factories, or hike the majestic Gunung Api volcano for breathtaking views. The Banda region offers a rare combination of Indonesian history, culture and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable trip for any traveler.
