Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or an intimate group trip, Raffles Cruise combines elegant design with modern comfort and traditional craftsmanship for an unforgettable journey at sea.

Classic Design Meets Modern Comfort

The Raffles Phinisi stretches approximately 31 meters long with a 5.5-meter beam, crafted from premium Indonesian ironwood and teak — materials renowned for their durability and rich aesthetic.
