 You guys are awesome! Thank you for extending your case to us for these 12 days. John, Celi, and the chefs showed us their excellence at every meal â especially loved the salad. So tasty in particular the pickle salad đ. Thanks to Jeffry, Alex and Sebastian showing us the underwater Raja Ampat, and Guntur, Bakru Ardhy, Jusuf, and Ryan for their in-boat assistant. Wahyu for always having a smile leading a hand. Thank you, Ryan to you keeping our ears happy and thanks to all the crew whose name I didnât mention â I felt at home and cared for these.

To Alex and all the crew,
It is quite hard to find the words to express all my gratitude for the commitment you all showed into allowing us to have this unforgettable experience. The diving, the snorkeling, the hiking, the rodeo at the front of the speedboat, every thing was magical!
To my dive buddies: Yves, Guillaume, Josseline, Rod, Suze, Katsie, John, Brigitte, Susan, Priscilla, Katherine and Jan. I am glad to have found a dive family with which I have spent the best holidays of my life. The moments we shared are priceless and I look forward to creating new memories with all of you very soon.

There is never a bad trip on the Seven Seas. We had a wonderful time with a congenial group of fellow guests -now friends-. The great stewardship of Alex and his good nature contributed enormously to that. The crew was as helpful and good natured as we and so many others have good reason to expect. See you later in the year Seven Seas!

The Seven Seas is my favorite dive boat. The crew is what makes the experience so special. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and experienced. This makes for a relaxing and comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable cruise. Special thanks to Alex who provided excellent care during a scary but minor health episode. We had a marvelous trip with a great group, great dive conditions and great weather. Iâll be back!

The Seven Seas is a wonderful ship with an even more wonderful crew if that is even possible. I am so thankful for the opportunity to dive aboard this ship and would recommend this experience to everyone.

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!!!
