Thanks for one of the best travel experiences. Every day in some way was enjoyable and the scenery never failed to impress. I will miss the escape from reality but hopefully one day will be back aboard the Seven Seas. Karl and all the staff were extremely helpful and entertaining, they made the trip for me. Thanks and hopefully see you all again. Raja Ampat, January 2018.

Dear Karl + Sevenseas Crew, First off: one cruise is easily the best Raja Ampat liveaboard experience I’ve had. Not only with respect to diving (choice and dive sites, dive profiles, etc.) but also miscellaneous other activities (bird of paradise walk, dinghy rides, etc.) Diving, yes, but also really full experience. Karl, hats off to you. You are a top notch Cruise Director. To the rest of the Sevenseas Crew: thanks for everything – your warmth + kindness made this experience truly memorable. You all did like things that I would have thought were beyond your duties but which made us divers feel very welcome. Terima Kasih !!! Raja Ampat, December 2017

Dear Sevenseas Crew,
For me life is about small details that make the difference. During those 12 days with you, I keep noticing this small details that makes the stay reach the excellency.

George, Karen, Tori, and Ethan 

To Karl and the Fabulous crew.
Thank you once again for an amazing adventure. It is always wonderful to come back on board and see the friendly crew again. Every dive, every activity was well-planned, organized, informative and so much fun. Can’t wait to come back again. Thanks a million.
P.S. Irwan always has some oddities in his BCD to put on the reef. There is no way he can’t really find all that miniscule “stuff”.
Raja Ampat, December 2017

English We joined the Meccadina 4D3N trip from Labuan Bajo to Lombok, arriving in Lombok on 3 July 2026. Our main guide was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and handled every difficult situation with professionalism and a smile. Even when the boat had some unexpected issues, he quickly came up with a new plan so that we still got to see all the important places. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see both whale sharks and manta rays, which we know can be difficult to find. He always showed us the best places to go, gave us great recommendations, and made sure everyone had the best possible experience. The whole crew was friendly and hardworking, but our main guide truly went above and beyond to make this trip enjoyable for everyone. The food was delicious, and they always pointed out dolphins whenever they spotted them, so we never missed the chance to see them. Thank you for making our Meccadina trip such a memorable adventure! Bahasa Indonesia Kami mengikuti perjalanan Meccadina 4H3M dari Labuan Bajo ke Lombok dan tiba di Lombok pada 3 Juli 2026. Pemandu utama kami benar-benar luar biasa. Dia sangat ramah, sangat membantu, dan mampu menangani setiap situasi sulit dengan profesional serta selalu tersenyum. Meskipun kapal mengalami beberapa kendala, dia berhasil menyusun rencana baru sehingga kami tetap bisa mengunjungi semua tempat yang penting. Berkat dia, kami berhasil melihat hiu paus dan pari manta, yang kami tahu tidak selalu mudah ditemukan. Dia selalu menunjukkan tempat terbaik, memberikan saran yang sangat berguna, dan memastikan semua tamu mendapatkan pengalaman terbaik. Seluruh kru sangat ramah dan bekerja dengan baik, tetapi pemandu utama kami benar-benar memberikan usaha lebih agar perjalanan ini menyenangkan bagi semua orang. Makanannya sangat enak, dan mereka selalu memberi tahu kami ketika ada lumba-lumba sehingga kami tidak pernah melewatkan kesempatan untuk melihatnya. Terima kasih telah membuat perjalanan Meccadina ini menjadi pengalaman yang tidak akan kami lupakan!

This was my second trip with Seven Seas Liveaboard in Raja Ampat, and it was just as incredible as the first. The diving was unreal — pristine reefs, insane marine life, and nonstop WOW moments. The guides were calm, highly skilled, and safety-focused, and the crew were warm, attentive, and made everything feel effortless. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the whole vibe on board was relaxed, joyful, and full of shared awe for the ocean. If you’re considering a liveaboard, Seven Seas is absolutely worth it. I’d book again without hesitation. 💙🤿🌊

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 🙏

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.
