Unforgettable cruise

Cruise to Raja south (misool) and central, beautiful! We will certainly do it again. Organization of everything down to the smallest detail. Nothing can be improved, everything is already perfect! Really super staff and Celine a perfect coordinator.

Sea-ze the day with Carpe Diem!

I recently returned from two unforgettable liveaboard trips with Carpe Diem in the stunning waters of Komodo, and I can’t recommend this experience enough! From the moment I boarded the vessel, Cecile and the crew made me feel at home. They were caring, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that all my needs and those of other guests were met. In addition, Cecile's empathetic, authentic, and accountable approach to leading her crew and hosting her guests are no doubt qualities that make her an inspirational leader at sea! The phinisi itself was beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-equipped, with spacious cabins and plenty of communal areas to relax and socialize. Diving from the liveaboard was a game-changer. Each day was packed with multiple dives at breathtaking sites, ranging from vibrant coral reefs to exhilarating drift dives. Cecile and Agus were exceptional, providing handy tips and ensuring our safety while inviting us to explore the underwater splendour. I encountered an array of marine life, including majestic manta rays, docile reef sharks, shy regal blue tangs, and even a dugong swimming gracefully from a distance. The meals onboard were another highlight. Each meal was a delicious celebration of local and international flavors, and the variety was always in abundance to cater to different dietary preferences. After a day of diving, sharing stories and laughter over a hearty dinner was the perfect way to unwind. What truly sets Carpe Diem apart from the rest is the expertise, drive, agility and individual attention from Cecile and the crew. Each dive brought new experiences, and I loved the convenience of having all my gear prepared and ready to go! Overall, my liveaboard experience with Carpe Diem was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and camaraderie. I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the sea and the crew that went the extra mile to provide top-notch service for all the guests.

Such an amazing trip!

The hole trip was so amazing that it's hard to summarize. But the people (hole crew and other guests) made this trip very special. The crew took such a good care of us that it's hard to describe. Food was excellent and chef such an expert. Diving was also spectacular and last days mantas put the crown to the hole trip. I definitely hope that I can do this again with Carpe Diem.

Carpe Diem crew and overall liveaboard experience was great and I would highly recommend them!

Carpe Diem boat is well maintained and the crew is very warm and professional. Service and food was excellent. Dive Masters were extremely responsible and highly knowledgeable of the different dive sites that suit the capacity of the divers. They were also very informative and took the time to get to know us and make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our trip. Food and lodgings were extremely good. All dive equipments were well maintained and catered to all our needs. The sites around Komodo were great and the crew matched it!!!
