What Our Guests Have to Say…
The Seven Seas has been operating for over 15 years and has amassed hundreds of trips with amazing guests and adventures on every trip we have run. Please check out some of the review below to see what they have to say.
Karen and Anthony Eclavea
For our inaugural liveaboard trip to Indonesia, we had an incredible experience with the crew of the Seven Seas. The attention to detail and flexibility of accommodations was amazing. Alex daily spent a huge amount of time coordinating tides, currents, and snorkeling locations with the ship captain to avoid the oncoming storm, while optimizing our underwater experience. The crew managed the operations of cooking, cleaning, activities, and travel in the background with a constant smile that was inviting and infectious. Cely worked endlessly around the clock and had a can do attitude. Irwan and Sadat spotted tons of sea life we would have missed without them. Thank you so much for letting us experience your culture and cuisine with a phenomenal trip.

First Raja experience exceeded all of my expectations. Alex detailed planning, anticipatory guidance avoiding bad weather to provide us the best site conditions was so appreciated. Checking sites just prior to our snorkels proved invaluable. Sense of humor, crew big smiles and attentiveness and excellent critter spotting by dive guides added to the trip immensely. Love and Aloha to all of you!

To Alex and the crew,
Thank you very much for this outstanding trip! You all did an extremely good job by guiding us to places where we had the best possible snorkel. I did have a very good and interesting snorkeling, admiring the biodiversity and the beautiful colors, all because of your loving and caring professionalism. The atmosphere was relaxing, the food very good. I wish you all the best and perhaps some day we ll meet again.

Seven Seas ha sido un sueño hecho realidad. Ha sido mi primera experiencia en un live aboard, pero ha sido la mejor experiencia de buceo de mi vida. El crew completo tiene una atención al detalle excepcional y complementan la experiencia al máximo. Gracias por recuerdos que durarán toda mi vida, espero poder volver en un futuro cercano. Happy diving!

Seven Seas leaves me almost speechless! This was my first adventure leaving my country and coming to a liveaboard. It was more than I ever dreamed it could be. The entire crew was amazing -warm, loving, funny, helpful. They truly care about the experience. Alex is a wonderful guy who clearly loves his team. Jeffry, Celi, Ardhi, Di Di, Big John, Little John and ALL the others are truly wonderful souls! I knew when I committed to a dive trip in Raja Ampat that I would be taking a trip of a lifetime. What I didn’t expect were the laughs and love I would share in 2 weeks at sea. The sky was beautiful, the ship exceeded my expectations, the dives were incredible and the hikes were stunning!
Much love to the Seven Seas family, you are truly the very B-E-S-T

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.

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!!!
