The Indonesian government strictly controls the importation of alcoholic beverages into Indonesia through quota restrictions. Locally produced beer has fewer restrictions. In accordance with local cultural customs and regulations, we provide local beer, and one glass of wine is served with dinner as part of your Dewi Nusantara package. At all other times, additional alcoholic beverages (based on availability), including bottles of imported wines and drinks containing spirits, may be purchased through the ship’s bar. There are no corkage or bottle charges imposed for guests who choose to bring their favourite bottle of wine or spirits for personal consumption on board. Customs regulations allow foreign tourists arriving in Indonesia to bring one litre of alcohol per adult. If you have a favourite wine or spirit you would like to consume on your upcoming cruise, we encourage you to bring it with you from a duty-free shop on your way to Indonesia. While customs in Indonesia are laid back and friendly to tourists, the importation limits are enforced. All checked and carry-on bags are x-rayed when clearing Customs, so Customs officers easily identify bottles and containers. Any tourist who attempts to circumvent the import limits may open themselves up to a very inconvenient situation with government officials.
