The long-planned trip to Raja Ampat finally materialized two years later than expected. Thanks to my brother and his wife, who had invited us. We experienced a world new to us! From the whole Heinen and family, we thank you for guiding us to a new underwater world so expertly. All the members of the team were skilled helpful and always friendly. The food was exceptional. The dive masters and the snorkel staff made possible things we could never have experienced an our own. (Raja Ampat, January 2023)

Amazing! So beautiful! We are so lucky to have the opportunity to take this trip to Raja Ampat . The corals school of fish and the incredible crew really made the trip incredible. Pablo was the best GUIDE EVER. It was so fun to have a guide as excited about the critters as we are. John and Shelly were the best in the dining room. Sebastian was a fantastic cruise director we will be back!!

Thank you so much for another amazing trip! It’s always difficult to believe how perfectly every aspect seemed to fit into place. No matter the weather, everyone’s part was crucial and memorable. I hope to be able to share all those moments in the future, on to create new ones with the right opportunities. All the best!!

Thank you so much Seven Seas! Raja Ampat is unforgettable with views and wildlife both above and below water. I’ll never forget a small list of things: my first dive!!, many incredible dives with unique wildlife, AMAZING food, fireworks on New Year’s, and exploring high and low on hikes and in caves. I’m especially grateful to the crew for their hard work and for making us all feel so at home. Terima Kasih!!

An enormous thank you to the Seven Seas, the amazing crew, and the incredible people we met along the journey who contributed to making this experience unforgettable! Raja Ampat is stunningly beautiful, both in its landscapers and in its underwater wildlife. A time to adventure into nature and I will always remember the divers, hikes, whale, and dolphin watching, and all the other fun moments on board. A special thank you for the crew’s hard work to ensure the best possible experience!

In 2015 after our Komodo-Flores experience on the Seven Seas, we take planning our return. This second stay on the Seven Seas confirmed that this is a unique experience with an exceptional new, incredible nature in Raja Ampat. Yes, the privileges of swimming in the caves, and snorkelling at the most beautiful coral reef in the world, the observation of Dugong, Kuskus, and the bird of paradise. However, this is nothing compared to the camaraderie, the new encounters, and the very nice and warmth relationships we declared with Alice, Guteri,Lida, Josh, Christian, and the crew. Thank you Sebastian for ensuring our safety and good weather! What a way to 2023! Best wishes to all Seven Seas!

Thank you so much for the amazing crew making this trip so memorable! I can tell that there was a lot of planning that went in to making the trip run smoothly. It really was a trip of a lifetime, and it was awesome to learn so much about the area and the amazing animals Raja Ampat from the crew and other guests. Hopefully, we will be back soon!!

David Galvan PhotographyApril 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just returned from a 12-day trip on the Alor-Komodo route and I have to say that the Seven Seas exceeded my expectations. It is a ship with a great history, very comfortable and with spaces to relax after the dives. The food is varied and excellent, the crew has been very attentive to us so that we enjoy the most of the stay on the ship and the dives. I liked that they take special care with the underwater cameras on the trips. The rooms are clean and really cozy. They have SUP paddle boards and kayaks on deck to take a ride and explore the beautiful beaches and areas during the trip. Without hesitation I will repeat the trip with the Seven Seas. James LangNovember 16, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just back from the Forgotten Islands itinerary. Superb vessel for this area. Nice rooms and common area. Dive skiffs perfect. Both the whips for filling tanks blew during the first few days...so equipment was constantly schelpped up out of the skiffs. I had a dump valve on a bc damaged and a reg holder, but oh well. Food was great and meh at the same time. Have the mi goreng for breakfast everyday ! It was incredible....but the jumbo prawns we had were overcooked every time we had them, which was often. The vegetarians ate best I think. Our dive guides were awesome.

One of the best dive liveaboard Explorer in Indonesia Erwin SpaanAugust 16, 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a magnificent time with the Seven Seas. Everything was superbly organized: the rooms, the beautifull hikes, the guided dives and the excellent service of the crew. This was our second time on this wonderfull boat and we really recommend everyone to go and experience this fantastic liveaboard journey.

Traveling with the Seven Seas liveaboard is an absolutely unforgettable experience, to be repeated as many times as one possibly can!! The diving all over Indonesia, to remote and less remote destinations, offered by the Seven Seas, is the best the world has to offer. There are many other liveaboards in Indonesia, so why the Seven Seas? From the moment you board this magnificent and comfortable ship, you feel at home and cared for in the most genuine way, you are a part of a family. The Crew and Karl and Linda, the Cruise Directors, are also highly professional, and most have been on board for many years (both Captains, and Karl and Linda have been on Seven Seas since its beginnings), making you feel extremely safe above and underwater. You just want to keep coming back for more over and over again!! Most of us leave the Seven Seas knowing when our next trip will be, as leaving would be unbearable otherwise!! See for yourself, you will not regret it, but careful, you might be hooked forever, like the rest of us ;-) Chris HancockDecember 17, 2016Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just returned from a 16 day experience "Forgotten Islands" and cannot wait until my next trip on this fabulous boat in August 2017. The Forgotten Islands tour was my second on the Seven Seas and my husband's first - we both loved it. The diving was fantastic (especially the manta rays!) interspersed with kayaking, fishing and a couple of land tours. We did 3 to 4 dives each day and some truly incredible (and remote) sites. The crew are all incredibly good at what they do and really work together as a team and with good humour. Meals were fantastic and it was amazing how well the various preferences of all guests were catered for. The wine selection was also excellent (perhaps a little too good as it was hard to say no to a relaxing glass of wine after a day of diving!). My husband was a bit nervous about being on a live aboard for 16 days as likes to do a variety of activities however this was absolutely possible including some very relaxing afternoon naps on the upper back deck lounge area :). My thanks to the Seven Seas team for making it such a fantastic trip - already booked in for August 2017 and December 2018!!!
