Amazing experience with my dive leader and all staff onboard
I had a great time onboard the Mandarin Queen 9. My dive leader Teuy is very experienced, has excellent communication skills and a fun personality. All staff are friendly and professional, always ready to help. Another highlight is the Thai style buffets we had onboard. There are 3 full meals a day and morning and afternoon snacks. We were very well fed during the trip.

Great liveaboard
I had a great time on this liveaboard. We went on October. We didn’t see pelagic fish but there was a dive with black tip sharks. The guides were funny, knowledgeable and really nice. The group of divers was congenial. The cabin was comfortable and the food was great.

An unforgettable liveaboard experience – absolutely outstanding!
I had an incredible time on this liveaboard. Everything was perfectly organized, the Queen Mandarin 9 was in excellent condition, and both the diving and the life on board exceeded all expectations. The equipment provided was high-quality, well-maintained, and the lovely crew took care of absolutely everything: helping with entering and exiting the water, setting up and removing equipment, carrying and cleaning gear, and always being there with a smile. The cabins were clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making the stay even more relaxing. We were spoiled with delicious food around the clock – several warm buffet-style meals a day, plenty of snacks like chips and instant dishes, and even an ice cream machine. A special shout-out goes to the kitchen and cleaning staff, who worked tirelessly in the background to make this smooth and enjoyable experience possible. Between dives, there was never a dull moment: a big TV with a wide media library, two massage chairs, a PS5, a Nintendo Switch, and lots of cozy spaces to relax or find privacy. Truly the perfect setup for comfort and entertainment. The dive sites were spectacular, with highlights like Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock, offering an incredible variety of marine life – from schooling fish and vibrant reefs to breathtaking macro sightings. Another major highlight: during the dives, the dive masters captured professional photos and videos, giving everyone unforgettable memories to take home. The group itself was a wonderful mix of ages and nationalities, creating a warm, friendly, and fun atmosphere where everyone connected and shared experiences. In short: a beautifully organized, welcoming, and absolutely unforgettable liveaboard adventure. I can recommend it 100%, and I would return in a heartbeat.

The best choice for North Andaman!
It was our first liveaboard experience and we loved Mandarin Queen team and we are sure that we did a really nice choice by choosing them. Everything was very comfortable and the team was just amazing! We have been diving for many years and our dive guide, Toky, was the most experienced and relaxed guy we have ever seen. The rooms and decks were super comfortable and there were super delicious 4 -5 courses food everyday. The staff prepared all the equipment for us, we just wore them and jumped into the water. I highly recommend Mandarin Queen 9. Special thanks to Toky, Picknik and all the staff on board.

Unforgettable Diving Experience with Mandarin Queen 9
We had an incredible time aboard the Mandarin Queen 9, exploring the stunning dive sites of the North Andaman Sea over four days. With 15 dives in total, we were fortunate to have fantastic weather, excellent visibility, and mild currents, making each dive truly spectacular. The crew was outstanding—friendly, professional, and always ensuring our safety and comfort. Everything was well-organized, yet the schedule never felt rushed. With four dives a day, we still had plenty of time to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The food was exceptional - plentiful, fresh, and delicious, with a great variety of salads, fruits, and hot dishes daily. My friend, who is vegetarian, was especially impressed by the care taken to prepare separate, equally delicious meals for her. The boat itself was spacious and well-equipped, all en-suite rooms, offering a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A special shoutout to Picnic, the manager, whose dedication and hospitality truly made our trip even more memorable. Thank you to the entire Mandarin Queen 9 team for an amazing experience—we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for any diving enthusiast.

Exciting your liveaboard trip
This liveaboard, perfect for our boat, the environment, service, and attitude on board are very comfortable. The bad thing is the weather, very big waves, which made me a little seasick
