Collocation: "enjoy" and "indulge"

Hi, everybody!

Does "enjoy" collocates with "indulge"? The context is the following:

"While some people enjoy indulging themselves in this almost ritualistic activity, the detractors of travelling argue that there are some serious drawbacks to being away from home and suggest being aware of its faults."

To me, it sounds redundant. I'm all ears!

Thanks in advance!
