Gaya Baru’s Onboard Facilities
The Gaya Baru offers ample space considering the small number of guests allowed on each cruise. You will find lounging chairs and mats on the partially covered sundeck but also an area with a table and chairs to enjoy. Indoors, you will find the galley as well as an indoor dining room that easily welcomes everyone to share a meal.
.
The Gaya Baru features plenty of windows all around so the indoor spaces are well ventilated. Also, the shades on the outdoor deck are often down during the day, shielding you from Indonesia‘s hot sun, and up at night so you can enjoy the views and the stars.
