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.

An Unforgettable First Liveaboard Experience on the Emperor Raja Laut
My first liveaboard experience aboard the Emperor Raja Laut was nothing short of incredible. This beautiful wooden schooner provided the perfect setting for my first dives in Raja Ampat, a destination that truly lives up to its reputation as a diver’s paradise. As a relatively new diver with less than 100 dives as compared to the others divers, my dive master was incredibly attentive, ensuring I felt safe and confident throughout. The crew and cruise director put in a visible effort to find the most challenging and diverse dive sites in the northern and central regions of Raja Ampat, making each dive an adventure. From vibrant coral gardens to thrilling drift dives, every site offered something unique. By the end of the trip, I was completely hooked on liveaboard diving. The combination of world-class diving, expert guidance, and the charm of the Emperor Raja Laut made this an unforgettable experience. I can't wait for my next liveaboard adventure!

A unique experience
Saw more than 15 mantas in Manta Alley in South Komodo. The sunset on the viewpoint was beautiful. Overall the trip was well planned. Apart from the amazing dives with Mantas, sharks, turtles, we also had a lot of fun on the land, visiting local village, Komodo dragons, sunset and thousands of bats.

Marvelous diving, friendly and competent crew, pretty boat, and surprisingly good food!
Our nine-night itinerary allowed more diving and relaxation than typical seven-night trips. The boat schedule was good, with dives at 7:00, 11:00, and 15:00. We found many fantastic macro creatures during daytime dives, including pygmy seahorses, and both night dives were outstanding. A few dives had higher current, which challenged some on our boat, and the water was a bit colder in the southern part of Komodo National Park - we were happy to have brought 5 mm wetsuits in addition to our thinner ones. The two land adventures were fun, as were the mealtimes, including special steak night, burger lunch, and hot pot dinner. The best part was the super-friendly and competent crew, especially our dive guide Pablo and the hilarious cruise director Tony. It was absolutely worth it - highly recommended!

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.
