Great Liveaboard in Raja Ampat
The Diving in Misool and Central Raja Ampat was world class! We saw a lot of different marine life and very healthy corals. Staff of Raja Laut was amazing and the customer service was great from the start to the end. The boat was really nice and sturdy, even when the seas were rough. Cabins were a bit small but very fuctional. I was lucky and had my own cabin, because the boat wasn't full. Overall incredible liveaboard.

Wonderful trip on a boat with a lot of charm and comfort and sumptuous dives. Unforgettable 🥰
Wonderful holiday interlude on a dream shooner. Well appointed and comfortable with family (adults). Unforgettable dives on preserved places where an organization and quotas restrict access for the benefit of the underwater fauna and flora but also of the divers🥰. The crew is very well organized. Everything went smoothly, in a good mood, in complete safety and comfort on wonderful places. Congratulations and thank you all. I recommend and will repeat the experience if possible.

Wonderful diving holidays on a great boat with a brilliant crew
We were only 9 divers on board, a diving group consisted of 3 guests plus a guide. That was great. The whole crew was super friendly and the food great. We had freshly baked bread every morning.Besides the diving area, which was of course fantastic, it was an all-round relaxed and great trip.

Fabulous week in Komodo
We had a fantastic week aboard Emperor Raja Laut diving in Komodo for our honeymoon. Flor and Sophie guided us safely through 20 dives at a variety of sites with knowledge of and respect for the local reefs and wildlife. We saw a huge diversity of wildlife, including manta, turtles, octopus, cuttlefish, and countless nudi, among others. Sprinkled in were land excursions to see a local village, a pink sand beach, and two hikes - one with an incredible view of Padar island. The boat staff was lovely and kept us comfortable throughout our stay. FYI there can be strong current at some sites in Komodo, so this is not an itinerary for freshly certified divers.
