All Hands on Deck is a crucial call for teamwork and cooperation on any ship. This phrase means that every crew member is needed to perform their duties promptly and efficiently to ensure the safety and success of the voyage.
The phrase “All Hands on Deck” originates from the days of sailing ships, where every sailor’s effort was vital during critical moments like storms or docking. In modern times, this expression is also used in business and everyday life to signal the need for everyone’s full attention and participation.
Effective teamwork in a maritime setting can prevent accidents and improve operations. For example, during emergency situations, having all hands on deck means every crew member must quickly respond according to their role. This collective effort is essential to handle challenges and maintain smooth sailing.
Furthermore, the concept highlights the importance of responsibility and unity among team members. Each person’s contribution counts, and neglecting one task can affect the entire operation. By understanding the significance of “All Hands on Deck,” both sailors and people in other fields can learn valuable lessons about collaboration and dedication.

Dear Shipmates,
We have made a few changes to our office team recently and I would like to inform you of these as they are coming into effect this month.
Candra has given notice that she will be resigning from Seven Seas management at the end of this month. She has been a pillar of strength for Seven Seas since our launching in 2006. I would like to thank Candra for her years of service which often extended over and beyond the call of duty, making herself available 24-7. Candra was my go to person when we had unexpected problems and I was always impressed with the cool, calm and collective manner she went about solving any issues.
Candra you will be dearly missed by us all, and we wish you only the best for the future.
1st row: Guteri, Candra
2nd row: Mansu, Naomi, Ary, Kusuma
At the same time I am happy to introducing our newly completed office team:
General Manager: Naomi Lumangkun
Operations Manager: Rufina Guteri Ganggus
Finance Assistant: Kusuma Diputra

We would also like to welcome Naomi and Kusuma as our new members on the team. Naomi will be replacing Candra as the person in charge at the office.

Also introducing a new face onboard Seven Seas, Cruise Director Foued Kaddachi.
I would like to welcome Foued to the team. He will be standing in for Alex or myself leading trips onboard Seven Seas as needed. He has been part of the Seven Seas family since 2009 and joined us every year since. Foued has already successfully lead a number of trips for us onboard Seven Seas and has extensive knowledge on all areas we operate. He has been diving throughout Indonesia since 1999 and became a PADI Instructor in 2001. In the following years he added UW photography, Nitrox and O2 provider to his resume.

Our onboard crew will be ready as always to take you out exploring, and they are all Covid-19 tested on a weekly basis to ensure your safety onboard.
Looking forward to welcome you (back) on board sometime soon!
