Excellent liveaboard.
Excellent boat. Very attentive to diver needs. Fantastic range and amount of food. Excellent dive briefings for each dive site. Diving was great but challenging currents at times and generally below 20m.

- Food was excellent. Management of the diving and five deck was really excellent. Very attentive to our needs and sorted all the equipment each time and lovely clean towels after every dive. Tenders were well organised, easy to get on and off, very helpful staff, always smiling.

A wonderful experience made even better by an exceptional crew
The trip with the Mandarin Queen to the North Andaman Sea was spectacular. The boat itself is very new, well made, and full of amenities that make the experience on board super smooth and very enjoyable. The cabins were large with private bathrooms and aircon at all times. The crew made sure that we were cared for and entertained at all times, from washing our dive towels, cooking great meals and snacks and beating us at Mario Kart. Due to choppy seas we could not spend the planned 4 dives of the 3rd day at Richelieu Rock, but the Manager PicNic made sure that we got some great other dive spots and so we still got some amazing dives done. The crew also took photos of all divers underwater with professional photo gear so that everyone gets some pictures to take home. All in all, it was a truly great experience and we would recommend it 10/10!

Excellent Boat, Excellent Dive Master, Excellent Food!
Our whole trip onboard MQ9 was an amazing experience. On arrival we were shown to our cabin and shortly after is when the 'snacks' started. We were fed like royalty the whole trip, with food in between dives being of a very high standard. The galley staff worked morning until night preparing extensive thai and foreign dishes catering to all of our post dive craves! We met our Boat Manager Picnic on arrival who took care of us for the duration of the trip. We were assigned have Tony as a Dive Master who was an absolute weapon at knowing his way around the reef. If I could recommend anyone to pick a local DM who knows every rock on the reef and has an eye for finding all of the marine life that the Similan Islands offer, I would suggest you request him. He was creative with every dive, always a pleasure to be around and really made the trip! I will see you again soon, Scott & Enora

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!
