Cheng Ho Liveaboard, Indonesia
CHENG HO;CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF INDONESIA ON OUR LEISURE CRUISES.
KLM Cheng Ho is part of the Sea Safari Cruises Fleet. This shipping company sails with 5 tropical wooden Phinisi schooners for short and longer leisure expeditions east of Bali. These luxury liveaboards are available to hire as private charters or to embark on the proposed cruises. Cheng Ho is one of the most comfortable vessels for diving and snorkelling safaris. Next, to these water activities, we organize island hopping tours to visit local markets, bird watching and trekking to admire volcanos and waterfalls. As we are based in Labuan Bajo in Flores, we regularly visit the Komodo National Park, famous for the impressive Komodo dragons.
