Arenui was our first liveaboard—and now we’re spoiled!

The shower products were wonderful, and Chef Mario is amazing. Kadek was great, Dino is the man, and Arief is an absolute delight—so, so sweet!

The boat was beyond excellent! We really appreciated the option to choose half portions of both dinner entrée. Loved the lunch desserts, and also the lighter dessert options with dinner.

The entire crew was exemplary! Tiau is the best dive master we’ve ever had, and the cruise director was fantastic. We especially loved the special treatment on the dive deck and tenders!

Overall—loved, loved, loved the trip! We would definitely do it again!

Food and staff were everything!

All the staff made us feel so welcome—like friends and family. The level of service is truly top-notch and unmatched by any other liveaboard!

Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. The food was beautifully presented with nice flavors!

Loved the diving—beautiful Indonesia! The boat very comfortable and roomy.  The crew was focused and making sure we had a great time and we did!! Chef Mario and his team were magical in the kitchen!

Thank you to the Captain and especially the crew, they are amazing and so special!

verything was superb! The cruise director was informative and kind, and honestly, the entire crew was first-rate. Most greeted passengers by name, and everyone was so friendly—they always made me feel welcome.

Mario and his team’s selection of food, variety, and presentation were fabulous!

Hope to see you again soon!

A great week! Experiencing a new part of Indonesia (and the world) from the Arenui was incredible—the remoteness, the beauty, the people, and the diversity, an the two land tours were great! Everyone onboard worked together as a team and all of them seemed to really enjoy their job. Can’t wait for the next trip on the Arenui!

Thank you for a memorable trip!

We truly appreciate all your hard work—from the delicious food and clean staterooms to the excellent dive guiding, boat driving, and taking care of our equipment. And to the BEST cruise director on any liveaboard—thank you!

We love you all and hope to see you again soon!

This is a truly lovely ship with an exceptional crew, delicious food, amazing dive sites, and a great welcoming feel. It’s clear that everyone works crazy hard.

The artistic design of the whole ship is stunning, and the food is truly amazing—so much creativity and absolutely delicious!

Thank you for a great week!

All the crew members were fantastic, food was amazing, loved it all!!!!

The cook staff were very accommodating with any requests, and I really liked the cruise director—he is top notch!

Wonderful trip! Amazing diving, great hard working staff, loved it!

Excellent all the way around. No issues with anything related with the boat or crew, no request to that they would not find a way to accommodate

Thank you!! Everyone is professional, courteous, kind and fun as usual. Special thanks and kudos to Natalia, Alex and Lucky! The food was wonderful and I appreciate the multiple options and ability to accommodate diet restrictions. Safety was paramount and greatly approached and the boat is beautiful as always!

The Arenui is the best as always!! Everyone is awesome and we can't wait to come back!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely dive with Arenui again! The destinations were awesome, and great operation overall. The crew was amazingly helpful—I didn’t even have to take off my own fins! The food was amazing, and the boat, along with its amenities, was beautiful throughout

This was our third trip—Raja in 2013, Komodo in 2019—and once again, the experience was outstanding! The food was by far the best we’ve ever had on a dive trip. The service just keeps getting better, and we really appreciated all the help with swimsuits and wetsuits. The tender crews were fantastic as well. Our bags were delayed, so we used rental equipment on the first day, we were so encouraged to see such healthy reefs—some of the best in the world, in our experience. The crew is always the best, and Mario and his team are nothing short of amazing. Mario had better still be here when we come back next time!

Wonderful food and fantastic hosts! Mario made yummy food and went above and beyond. Areef was always on top of anything you could possibly need, and Dino kept us entertained with great stories and served up delicious coffees! The crew worked so well together—special thanks to Fahmi and our tender crew, Kadek for the wonderful massages, and Ketut for all the help after diving!

Fantastic trip! 10 out of 10! Great diving and great staff, I even booked four more trips while onboard! The staff was incredible, and the service was truly top-notch. The chef is like a “3-star Michelin” chef—the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was superb!

Fantastic week. So glad we extended our trip! Mario is sooooo talented and Dino and Areef are our favorite new additions to the Arenui family. The diving had a great mix of pelagics and tiny critters

Arenui never fails to exceed my expectations, it’s just as spectacular and beautiful as the first time I boarded her in 2016. Mario is an outstanding chef—the diversity of flavors and quality is unmatched. This is my fourth trip, and it’s just as memorable as the first. The food and selection were exceptional! The teamwork among the crew was fantastic—teamwork truly makes the dream work! I absolutely loved the dives on this cruise, with so much diversity to explore

This is our fourth trip to Indonesia, and the Arenui is by far the best of the best! We won’t be sailing on any other boat from now on and will highly recommend it to others. It couldn’t have been better—bravo! The experience truly exceeded our expectations.

This is a beautiful boat, and the crew made it incredibly comfortable and relaxing. It was a special trip for us, and this was the perfect boat with the perfect crew. The food was wonderful, and the crew was top-notch! We also loved the diversity of coral species

We've been on seven liveaboards before, and this one had the best food by far. The boat was fantastic, and the staff were outstanding. Every dive was excellent and as effortless as diving can be. The massage staff were amazing. No complaints at all!

The boat is absolutely beautiful, and I loved all the personal touches and decorations. Everything was both practical and useful. The cooking crew was amazing, offering so many alternative vegetarian options! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The crew is 5 stars!! I felt safe and well-guided throughout the trip. It was my first time in Indonesia, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

  Everything about the Arenui says classy while never becoming pretentious. Most important, every single crew member is friendly and kind. Food & Beverage: excellent. I may have lost weight only because the food was both healthy and tasty. Every single person is kind, and the crew are the best part of this trip, which is something considering the incredible diving. First class.  

The crew was incredible – took great care of us, also very fun. Could tell they were one big family & welcomed us in.

Compliments to the chefs and stewards. Meals were delicious. I was impressed with the way Mario & Kadek remembered our preferences about food and drinks. Special thanks to Herry. This was my first dive without my partner of 20 years. Herry took wonderful care of me on every dive. Also special thanks to Alex & Saoirse who both helped me a lot. The Roomboys did everything perfectly. I had two wonderful massages!! Bottomline, this crew was helpful, well trained, took good care of us, always had a smile and made us laugh! The entire crew was wonderful. The boat tenders took good care of us. Kai and Jose were informative and educational with great sense of humour.

Excellent service by all!

The care the team has for our gear is really wonderful. Special thanks to the incredible Mario, Fahmi, Kai and Chefs! We had a great trip!
