The Dharma Rucitra sea vessel is an alternative mode of transportation to airplanes, more appropriate for those carrying large/heavy items and having ample time. If the vacation time is less than 4 days and/or the luggage is not too heavy (at most a non-electric folding bike), airplanes can be considered as an alternative to sea vessels. The gross-cost of air and sea modes of transportation Dharma Rucitra is ultimately not too far apart for passengers departing from Jakarta.
