Take a 7D6N luxury cruise on the Sea Safari VI Liveaboard Private Charter to Indonesia’s famous Spice Islands. The trip will take you from Ambon’s muck-diving paradise to the Banda Sea’s ancient reefs. This private charter is great for picky divers and underwater photographers who want to witness world-class macro life and immaculate coral reefs all in one trip. Your group will have full control over the schedule, which includes visiting Ambon’s famous Laha Bay, where you can see psychedelic frogfish and rhinopias, and then crossing to Banda’s stunning Ai Island cliffs and the colorful coral gardens of Banda Neira. The famous Sea Safari VI, which is very stable and has luxurious amenities, becomes your own private dive boat. A dedicated crew, private chef, and skilled guides make sure that you have the best circumstances for both critter hunting and reef exploring.
This 7-day private charter is the best way to do both serious muck diving and amazing reef exploring while keeping both areas to yourself. Your party can organize several dives at the best macro sites, afternoon sessions on Banda’s walls that are full of pelagic life, visits to old nutmeg farms, or just relax aboard large sun decks while crossing the Banda Sea. The ship can go across the ocean, making it easy to get from one place to another and giving you plenty of room for photographic gear and places to relax after diving. This is the best way to explore the Spice Islands for anyone who want both a lot of different kinds of plants and animals and luxury while diving.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary on board. The staff found out and surprised us with a song and a unique cake. It was touching how much personal service there was. The trip to Raja Ampat was the perfect setting for a once-in-a-lifetime party. Thanks for the memories!
