Raja Ampat cruise: pick the format first, then the nights.
A Raja Ampat cruise is a multi-night voyage from Sorong through Dampier Strait, Wayag and Misool. You either book a cabin on a share-trip departure or take a whole boat privately. That choice sets the price basis; the regions you want set the minimum nights. Komodo Luxury is operated by PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara; its Raja Ampat charter yachts come from 9 owned and operated vessels and 200+ vetted partner yachts, always labelled separately, as listed on Komodo Luxury (checked 2026-09-16).
