All cabins feature AC, fresh towels, and linen. 2 shared bathrooms are located on the upper deck. Also on the upper deck is a large open-air shaded dining area and lounge. The top deck is home to the sun deck with sunbeds and bean bags.
Diving focuses on Raja Ampat, and the cruise director will choose the best dive sites on the day based on the weather, currents, and tides. Divers can expect to do up to 4 dives per day, including a sunset or night dive. The captain, dive guides, and crew of the Ratu Laut have years of experience in the Indonesian waters. The Ratu Laut phinisi is operated by Barefoot Conservation NGO, and all profits from the trips go towards science, research, and conservation programmes, so you can rest assured that you are helping the marine environment when you dive with the Ratu Laut.

in shortest time the best views of my life... yet!
The manta rays were the very best followed by "Melissa's Garden", "blue magic", "my reef" and the short meeting with a dolphin under water. But definitely the group and the crew and my instructor were also absolutely worth of joining this trip. Thank you very much!

great diving with fun people
The dive locations timing were fantastic. The crew started by getting everyone comfortable in the Indonesian dive environment and with currents, then planned the dives so that each dive got a bit better as the cruise when on. Fantastic experience, friendly staff, and the price couldn't be beat. During our dives, the dive masters were great at pointing out micro flora and fauna that might otherwise be missed, and we regularly ran into sharks, mantas, barracudas, and school upon school of fish at our various dive locations.

Incredible trip :)
The liveaboard was incredibly beautiful. On the one hand this fascinating underwater world, so colorful, so much life, Raja Ampat especially Misool is a dream! Plus the small "shore excursions" (Heart Lagoon, Sunset, Jellyfish Lagoon...). On the other hand, this helpful, always friendly crew, with whom you have a lot of fun. If you want luxury, you should look for another ship. If you want to dive and have a good atmosphere on board, this is the place for you. The ship is simple but clean and has everything you need. At the beginning it is a little strange that the toilets are right next to the dining table, but you get used to that very quickly. Diving is professional. Dive guides are great!! (Thanks Oves for swapping masks underwater, because my new borrowed mask was very foggy (old one broke). Now I could see the manta rays and you could only see shadows...)Thank you all, I had a wonderful holiday and I want to come back very soon!

I have enjoyed the liveaboard to the fullest. The dive sites were amazing, filled with life. Every crew member was smiling at all time and super friendly. They made the experience quite special. The food was super tasty. I will come back next year for the 10 days trip!
