“A quick word to say thank you SO MUCH for a fantastic trip. It really was up there with the best I’ve ever done. The ship is gorgeous, the crew are lovely, the food was outstanding and Raja Ampat itself was beyond beautiful. Really nice people on board too, and we had lots of laughs from start to finish.”

“It is an amazing experience, an incredible team and the most wonderful boat possible. It really will go down as one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. I really don’t know Indonesia apart from Bali a little, so it was a revelation. I also appreciated the amount of space to join other people or to keep to oneself. Even though cabins were great to catch up on work or have some privacy, most people want to be out of their cabins even if not joining in. The lunches were brilliantly light and yet satisfying, while breakfast could not be bettered. I am so grateful to have been part of it. Thank you.”
