The Arenui looked fantastic on the website but nothing could compare with seeing it for the first time and a highlight was to see it with the sails up. As a relatively inexperienced diver it was everything I could have wished for. This was billed as a dive trip of a life time and it totally blew my mind. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Guillem and Kai; special mentions to Kadek and Mario who are first class . The tender drivers could not have been more helpful. Famy completely made my diving experience the best ever, great sense of humor, professional, enthusiastic and amazing young man. I am going home with a food baby and will be unable to squeeze into my clothes. Simply delicious at every meal and of course the snacks and coffee. From the moment we arrived at Sorong airport to the moment we left the Arenui every possible wish has been anticipated together with a friendly smile. Our trip has exceeded all expectations and I would book to come again in a heart beat. Our fellow guests were tremendous fun and great to share this fabulous experience with. I shall shed quite a few tears on leaving and am highly jealous of the next set of guests. Thank to all the Arenui!
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!
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!
The cook staff were very accommodating with any requests, and I really liked the cruise director—he is top notch!
