Unforgetable liveaboard at Similan Islands.
Modern boat facilities. Food and beverage services were great and avaliable all the time. The boat and the room was clean all the time. The boat staff and dive instructors were awesome and generous. Our diving instructor “Farm” was an incredible person, amazing diver and super friendly, we loved him. We loved the experience and already want to repeat.

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.

Great experience that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Dive guides, briefings, kitchen and all assistants, so the entire staff was without exception extremely professional and pleasant. Despite some not easy diving conditions, we always felt absolutely safe. Everyone is excellently rehearsed and the processes are absolutely smooth. The boat is excellently equipped and divided. Each participant finds his or her place. Whether on the sun deck, in the entertainment room, in the dining area or in your own cabin. The beds are super comfortable, the food varied and always delicious.The cabins are difficult to ventilate. Moisture after showering is therefore an issue. Quite hard cleaning agents are therefore used. We have gotten used to it and have no idea how to solve it differently. This is certainly the same on all ships. The Mandarin Queen 9 is therefore an absolutely unreserved recommendation!

Great experience
We were satisfied and happy that we chose Mandarin Queen 9 for our first liveaboard. There were movies and games available in-between dives and at night after dives to pass time. Food was great. Free flow snacks and drinks. Alcohol was available onboard and affordable. Crew was experienced and great and always made sure we were comfortable. Dive conditions were not the best but that’s not something that can be controlled but was still good!

Best dives I’ve ever had
I had the best time on mandarin queen 9. The all experience from start to finish was amazing. The boat crew was so nice always strive to give us the best experience, as a vegetarian they always make sure I have something to eat and made special meals for me. The dive masters were the best I dived with and I was pleasure to dive with and the free nitrox was the cherry on the top. If you want to do liveaboard in Thailand don’t think twice and go dive with mandarin queen 9

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.
