Labuan Bajo, Indonesia (June 2024) – Docked at AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach, a five-star resort north of Labuan Bajo on Flores Island in East Indonesia, AYANA Cruises comprises five luxury vessels from which guests can embark on immersive adventures through the UNESCO Heritage-listed Komodo National Park. The star of the fleet is the 54 meter modern phinisi, the AYANA Lako D’ia, and its elegant form, expressed in the shimmering hues of the Komodo Islands, is the inspiration for AYANA Cruises’ new visual identity.
AYANA Cruises has swiftly grown into one of Indonesia’s leading luxury cruise lines. Available for privately chartered or shared multi-day voyages, the magnificent AYANA Lako D’ia features five-star accommodation and AYANA’s signature five-star hospitality for up to 18 guests. During the 2023 ASEAN Summit, for which AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach was a designated host hotel, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo invited heads of state on an spectacular sunset cruise aboard the majestic phinisi.
Travelers can also experience the region’s rich biodiversity aboard AYANA Cruises’ four other vessels: the AYANA Lako Sae, a stylish three-deck cruise boat; the AYANA Lako Cama, a 12 meter speed boat for intimate day trips; the AYANA Lako Lelo, a 12 meter boat for fishing trips; and the AYANA Lako Taka, a custom-made glass-bottom boat.
“The new visual identity of AYANA Cruises was meticulously crafted, drawing inspiration from the sleek contours of the jewel in the crown of our cruise line — the AYANA Lako D’ia,” says
Dermot Birchall, General Manager of AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach. “Its graceful silhouette evokes the essence of a tranquil voyage across sparkling seas, adorned with vivid marine hues that signify a sense of freshness and adventure.”
