Arung Samudera

The Arung Samudera (KRI Arung Samudera) is a three-masted schooner operated by the Indonesian Navy as a sail training vessel. Originally constructed in Germany, the ship is designed to train naval cadets in traditional seamanship, navigation, and teamwork. It serves as a prominent goodwill ambassador for Indonesia, frequently participating in international tall ship races and maritime festivals.

Built in Germany in 1991, the vessel was originally named 'Adventure' before being acquired by the Indonesian Navy in 1995 and renamed KRI Arung Samudera. In 1996, it achieved historical significance by embarking on a successful circumnavigation of the globe, marking the first time an Indonesian vessel completed such a voyage. Over its decades of service, the schooner has visited dozens of countries across Asia, Australia, and Europe. It continues to play an active role in training future officers of the Indonesian Navy.
