Epica

The Epica liveaboard Indonesia presents an economical opportunity to explore the wonders of Raja Ampat. It offers simplicity alongside comfort, accommodating 12 guests in 6 twin cabins. Positioned above deck to catch the refreshing ocean breeze, these cabins share 2 bathrooms equipped with invigorating fresh-water showers. The onboard meals are thoughtfully prepared, presenting a delightful fusion of local and international cuisines. Served ‘family-style’ on the upper deck, guests can relish not only the flavors but also the stunning view while unwinding amidst hammocks and bean bags, making it an ideal spot to relax between diving sessions and catch the breathtaking sunset.

To ensure an optimal diving experience, groups are limited to a maximum of 4 divers per guide and categorized according to their proficiency levels. This arrangement allows everyone to maximize their underwater explorations, witnessing a diverse array of marine life – from fascinating critters to majestic creatures like manta rays and diverse shark species. Additionally, guests have the opportunity to visit renowned panoramic viewpoints in Raja Ampat. Epica’s excursions are meticulously designed to offer an enriching Raja Ampat experience for budget-conscious travelers.

Despite not being the largest vessel in the area, the 24-meter-long Epica is notably one of the faster options available.

The cabins, while modest without extravagant features, are equipped with essential amenities such as air conditioning, power sockets, and fans for added convenience. For personal hygiene, the two shared bathrooms provide freshwater showers along with complementary shampoo and soap. The dive preparation area, conveniently situated at the stern on the lower deck, facilitates the process of tank filling, equipment setup, and preparing for diving adventures. Some diving sites permit direct jumps from the Epica, while others require a short trip via the tender.

The upper deck doubles as a communal space where guests can unwind in bean bags, sway in hammocks, and explore fish books. It also hosts the buffet-style meals, fostering a warm ambiance for communal gatherings in the evening, perhaps for a friendly card game around the spacious table.

Epica sails through Raja Ampat throughout the year, offering diverse itineraries based on the season and cruise duration. However, all these itineraries share a common objective – to optimize the Raja Ampat experience for budget travelers!
