We started from Saumlaki and dives in the Forgotten Islands, the Banda Sea, the Seram Sea, Raja Ampat and ended up in Sorong, what a wonderful 15 days of diving!
The crew were fantastic taking care of all the little details that made a smooth, comfortable and enjoyable trip. The crew makes the Seven Seas a special adventure. Thanks to all! Congrats to Alex for leading a great first trip as solo dive manager. He did a great job. This was our second trip on the Seven Seas, we hope to come again! Forgotten Islands, December 2018.

The last 2 weeks really have been unforgettable…! Every morning we have woken up to a new adventure, each day completely unique and special and something I will keep forever. I can’t believe I have been coming on these trips for 18 years (since I was 11!!). It feels like a second home and made me who I am today -forever adventurous! What also makes it feel like home is the crew, always smiling and I feel very lucky from helping us dive. I am always sad to leave but I know it won’t be the last! A special thank you to Mark and Lawrence, without them it wouldn’t be the same. And also Alex for keeping dad entertained! All my love and huge thank you for everything. Until next time! Forgotten Islands, November 2018.

I think that it is 7 or 8 years since I have been on the Seven Seas and nothing disappointed. In fact if anything service levels have risen if that is possible, and the boat, after its extensive refurbishment, seems more comfortable than before. She is also an amazing vessel which is reassuring. The diving in the Forgotten Islands was superb. An incredible diversity. What was out in the deep blue was equally fascinating with Marlin Jumping almost a daily occurrence. Coming up after a dive and immediately seeing a Blue Whale was a particular highlight. Altogether an Amazing Forgotten Islands trip! Thank you! Forgotten Islands, November 2018.

What a privilege to have enjoyed this diving trip aboard the Seven Seas, to the Forgotten Islands! This was my first experience of diving and it could not have been better! The dive masters were very attentive and brilliant at finding exotic tinny creatures hiding away. Briefings were fun and informative and reassuring. Diving in the Forgotten Islands and visiting the islands, the villages, meeting the wonderful people was fabulous! I think I missed just 2/3 dives on a 15 day trip. We were fortunate to be travelling with Lawrence Blair who gave us a very authentic and interesting twist to the journey. Thanks to all the crew, who were all excellent, special thanks to my dive buddies Rian, Irwan and Alex. You rock! Of course thank you also to Mark whose tales were most entertaining! You have a great boat and a great team! Merci beaucoup.
PS: Love the movies, a wonderful souvenir thanks to Alex. Forgotten Islands, November 2018.

Wow, how does one begin to describe what an Amazing time I have had on the Seven Seas? For me the Seven Seas trip was more than a holiday, it was an adventure. An attentive crew, a beautiful boat and the remote dive locations can never be done justice with a few words. What makes the Seven Seas so special is the feeling it evokes and that is pretty hard to describe unless you have experience it. When diving you learn patience which I will now have to put into practice meantime planning our next Seven Seas adventure! Forgotten Islands, November 2018.

I have been dreaming of THIS TRIP to the Forgotten Islands for 20 years, and it was everything I imagined it would be, and more! The reefs were pristine and I only saw a piece of trash in 15 days. I have not experienced this level of coral density in 40 years diving, and the biodiversity was outstanding. The crew was unforgettable and helpful as always and Alex is going to be a huge asset to the Seven Seas as new cruise director. I have enjoyed 10 years of voyaging with Karl and felt very privileged to be on his farewell cruise. Love the new upgrades with lighting and decor! And the chef Totok is fantastic! Lighter and healthier food. An outstanding trip! Forgotten Islands, October 2018.

Posted on Natalie ViñoloSeptember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An unforgettable family adventure! We were 10 people, including teenagers and a toddler, and everyone had the time of their lives. The boat is spotless and comfortable, the dive sites breathtaking, and there are plenty of activities for non-divers too. The crew is outstanding—professional, friendly, and always attentive. The food was excellent, and every detail was taken care of. (Gluten free options available!) The Seven Seas is much more than a boat, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!Posted on Max Wind del OlmoSeptember 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sinceramente las mejores vacaciones de mi vida. Fui con amigos y familia a mediados de agosto de este año, y la verdad que cuesta de explicar con palabras todo lo vivido en tan poco tiempo. Si eres un apasionado del buceo este es el sitio a ir. Las immersiones se nota que estan trabajadisimas y realmente lo que puedes llegar a ver bajo el agua parece de otro mundo. Hablo de mantas rayas gigantescas, tortugas curiosas rodeadas de arrecifes preciosos, de tiburones pequeños y familiares como los de arrecife hasta el immenso tiburon ballena. Realmente me quedaria aun que escribiera muchas paginas describiendo todo lo que vimos. Aparte que los lugares y ambiente es paradisiaco. Destaco mucho Komodo y sus alrededores donde la vida salvaje es palpable (hasta vimos dragones en libertad, es decir fuera del paraue, un dia que hicimos una excursion en la playa.) Cabe remarcar que esta experiencia abordo del Seven Seas tambien puede ser muy gozada para los que no son tan amantes del buceo, pues disponen de un monton de actividades alternativas y complementarias, desde kayak y padel surf, hasta drinks y snacks en una playa idílica con musica viendo el atardecer. Para acabar (que esto se esta alargando mucho), un fuerte abrazo a todos los trabajadores; crew members, dive masters, cocineros y el cruise director Angel, que hicieron todo lo posible para que el viaje fuera verdaderamente de ensueño, se nota que son una gran familia de la cual yo tambien me siento una pequeña parte despues de esos dias en los cuales fuimos verdaderamente felices. Fueron 9 o 10 dias muy muy dificiles de olvidar.Posted on Imca SchootsSeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een onvergetelijke reis hebben we beleefd op het schip The Seven Seas. Alles was tot in de puntjes verzorgd. De snorkeltrips waren fenomenaal. Bryan, onze snorkel guide, heeft ons de wonderschone onderwaterwereld laten ontdekken. Manta's, whalesharks, blacktip en white tip sharks, turtle en ontelbare andere bijzondere vissen met als hoogtepunt de 4 dugongs die we hebben gespot. Een magische ervaring. Angel, de fijne cruisemanager, had een gevarieerd programma voor ons samengesteld. Het was een once in a lifetime experience waar we enorm dankbaar voor zijn.Posted on Alex del OlmoSeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful 10-night family trip from Komodo to Sumbawa, and everything was simply perfect. The crew was attentive and kind, the food was excellent (and plentiful, with snacks always available), and the diving exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to encounter plenty of mantas and even 3 whale sharks, along with incredible dives throughout Komodo National Park. A special thanks to Cruise Director Angel, who always made sure we dived at the best times, with little or no current. Truly an unforgettable experience!Posted on Daos 4USeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een waanzinnige trip hebben wij gedaan op The Seven Seas! Fantastische crew die ons in de watten heeft gelegd. De cruise manager Angel en zijn team die de beste plekken wist om te snorkelen en te duiken in de regio, Sumbawa en Komodo. Een onvergetelijke belevenis! We hebben gezwommen met haaien en manta’s, de meest fantastische duik- en snorkel plekken bezocht en zelfs de schuwe dugong gezien 👌 De begeleiding die mee gaat het water in zorgt ervoor dat je meer ziet dan dat je je ooit kan voorstellen. Eten aan boord en de cabines zijn top of the bill. We kijken nu al weer uit naar de volgende trip, bedankt voor alles crew Seven Seas 🙏Posted on Riang van HazendonkSeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the best experience of my life! Going on a diving trip with the Seven Seas is an absolute recommendation. The food is super delicious, the staff is helpfull, kind and you can ask them everything. The trip was beautiful and i saw sooo many gorgeous fish. Everything was organized very well and it was an awesome experience to never forget!Posted on Joppe SpaanSeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Seven Seas, wat een fantastische ervaring is dit. Van de duiken tot de activiteiten die geregeld worden is dit werkelijk waar zo bijzonder dat het niet te omschrijven is. Naast alle geweldige dingen die je ziet tijdens het duiken en de meest prachtige zonsondergangen en opkomsten is de bemanning ook subliem. Alles wordt voor je geregeld en je wordt serieus in de watten gelegd. Ik zou deze ervaring op de boot iedereen ten zeerste aanraden om ook zelf mee te maken. Zoals ik al eerder vermeld heb is de ervaring op dit schip niet te omschrijven maar moet je dit echt zelf mee maken.Posted on Daniel HeighesJuly 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for the best diving in all over Indonesia I would highly recommend this boat the friendly staff beautiful boat nice rooms and everything was just excellent. The crew are the most kind caring people and make you really feel like your at home not a second on this trip did I feel not comfortable with the seven seas and the crew always looking out for you and when you need someone they are right there would highly recommend coming on the seven seas live aboard!!!! Will definitely be back for another trip !Posted on 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.Posted on 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.
