Indonesia’s Pelni is the last great true passenger liners company in the world. It is the only company of its size that still serves scheduled vessels transporting people across various destination. In a far-flung archipelago nation, where many of the islands have no airport and most of its area made up of water, it is one important mean of transportation—and simply one of the best way to travel. One of Pelni's furthest regular route starts from Surabaya in East Java and ends in Papuan city of Merauke, basically the eastern end of Indonesia. The round trip voyage takes one month, passing more than two dozen ports and covering a distance of more than 8,000 kilometers.
