Magic above and below
A diving holiday unforgettable for me with dives, sometimes a bit challenging, in places as remote as they are beautiful. Splendid pearls set in an emerald sea. Wonderful corals in excellent health, for now, refuge for an indescribable amount of fish.

Fantastic trip with a great crew
We joined this liveaboard in May and had an unforgettable trip. The crew was absolutely wonderful — kind, attentive, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. The food was excellent, with fresh, delicious meals that somehow got better every day. The boat was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully run, making life on board easy and relaxing. Our dive guide was a bit quiet at the beginning and didn’t point out much underwater — it seemed like he expected us to explore and find things on our own. But after we shared some feedback, he became much more engaging and started showing us more marine life, which really elevated the experience. The only small downside is that all cabins are below deck, so you do hear the engine when the boat is moving. But that’s part of the liveaboard experience and easily outweighed by everything else that made the trip so special. Overall, a fantastic adventure — great diving, great people, and memories we’ll never forget!

A beautiful and very comfortable boat
Everything from start to finish was excellent- from quality of rental equipment to the lovely post dive drinks (juices or teas depending on weather). The crew were super nice and so helpful. Food was plentiful and excellent - bowls of fresh fruit available all the time.

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.

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!

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!
