Highlights
A traditional wooden phinisi built in south Sulawesi, the Queenesia liveaboard was custom-built for fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Komodo National Park. Catering to just 8 guests, the Queenesia creates a feeling of comfort in 3 well-equipped cabins. Each room has storage space, charging ports, individually controlled AC, and private en-suite bathrooms. Flexible bedding configuration, which includes a double cabin, a twin cabin, and a quad cabin, is perfect for a small-group charter of family or friends. The large main-deck area is ideal for relaxing in-between activities, enjoying the sea breeze, or taking in the beautiful sunrise or sunset. The onboard cook freshly prepares food customized to guests' tastes. A range of local vegetables, fruit, fresh fish, and a mix of European-inspired and healthy dishes is served.
With flexible itineraries, cruises combine the perfect balance of diving and non-diving activities. Dive with reef sharks, turtles, and manta rays on one day and hike to beautiful viewpoints, walk along pristine beaches, and enjoy island-hopping the next. The large tender makes getting to and from the dive sites nice and easy, and small groups ensure a stress-free dive experience.
Perfect for individuals, couples, family, and friends, the Queenesia is ready and waiting in Komodo. Book online today.

Amazing diving, excellent value
While the boat is not the most comfortable, the diving is excellent and Ed the dive guide was the best we ever had. There is no hot water in the cabin bathroom, but aircon worked fine. During our liveaboard, there were only four guest, us included. If the boat is full, it might get a little cramped. Food was also great. We felt we got amazing value for money, liveaboard is definetely the best way to do Komodo, we had even the popular divesites almost to ourselves, as the boat got there first. We had a crew of 8 who were amazing and so friendly.

Outstanding trip
This has probably been one of my best Liveaboards ever due to an incredible dive guide Ed, spotting almost any little critter one could think of, especially on those five stunning night dives during our trip. Though the boat comfort is basic (we were all aware ahead of booking) this trip has been very memorable due to a very friendly and attentive crew, the meals were great, so was the overall experience with perfect timing for all divesites and both land tours - we were the ONLY guests visiting Komodo Island with it's dragons, any other guests had already left the Island !

"Welcomeee baaack"
This boat is as no frill as it gets, it truly encapsulates the saying "eat sleep dive repeat". There is nothing fancy about this boat, but that in itself the the charm of Queenesia. This wooden boat gives vintage feels, the staff onboard were spectacular. From the food service to the dive gear assistance, to a simple cheer wishing us a great dive before every dive and a loud cheer after every dive saying "WELCOME BACK" The housekeeping staff Rayan went out of his way to make sure we were well fed or had a glass of water before our dive or a cup of hot milo/ginger tea after the dive. The dive guides were brilliant. They went out of their way to fulfill our requests to the best of their ability. Highly recommend this boat for anyone who wants to "dive" Komodo.

We would book the Queenesia again in a heartbeat.
The crew did everything to make it possible for us to have a perfect stay. The selection of diving spots, the guiding under water, the service on board were a dream. The ship is very nice and you have a large covered outdoor area where you can be protected from rain and sun. The food was typical Indonesian cuisine and very tasty and rich. The cabins are basic but have air conditioning. We were able to go on nice hikes on the islands and even do a bit of fishing in the evening.

The perfect way to experience Komodo National Park with amazing staff and at great value
Dive, eat, sleep, repeat. The trip provided exactly what we were after - 17 fantastic dives, comfortable air-conditioned rooms, amazing food between every dive, comfortable places to relax and talk to new friends, and amazing staff and eagle-eyed divemasters looking after us consistently. Fantastic value and a wonderful time <3

Great encounters in Komodo and comfortable boat
The trip was great, we were very lucky to see mantas and sharks very close and for a long period of time. We did south Komodo because the north was closed due to the weather in December. Visibility was good. The crew and the other guests made me have an amazing time, we did karaoke at night, snorkel with sharks... The boat is quite big and clean. The rooms are very comfortable. Everything was well organized, also the trekkings.
