Construction of WAOW 2 began on 18 September 2025.

WAOW 2 will be every bit as grand, beautiful and majestic as the original WAOW.

Drawing on our experience, we are refining and elevating every aspect of the vessel. Safety, comfort, service and environmental impact are all being carefully reconsidered, enhanced and optimised to create a ship that not only honours the WAOW legacy, but also sets a new benchmark for future voyages

WAOW 2 is scheduled to begin sailing in September 2028. You can follow the project’s progress on the WAOW 2 website, via our social media channels, or by subscribing to our newsletter.

You can also become part of the WAOW 2 journey by joining our participatory pre-sale.

We are very saddened to communicate to you all that our magnificent WAOW burned and sank the night of Jan 31st to Feb 1st in a storm in Biak Harbor. Fortunately there was no loss of life or physical injury. Anyone who has enjoyed the WAOW, or who would like to know about it's legend can visit this website to revive the memories and maybe project themselves into a possible future.
