The Arenui is one of the most beautiful ships I’ve ever been on. The wood details are fantastic; the cabins spacious, comfortable and gorgeous. The bed too is spacious, complete with modern fixtures, including a real toilette! The crews are a joyful group of people who pamper you throughout the cruise. We enjoyed a fantastic vacation onboard The Arenui and we look forward to returning.

Fred & Margo

Robyn & Colin
Jerry and Debbie were great coordinators. The whole crew was amazing. We both felt so well cared for on this trip.
Maria
You have a great team and operation. The night we set off in the boat at Banda to photograph mandarin fish, a storm hit and we had a bumpy wet ride. This did not damper anyone’s spirits including the crew that always had a big smile on their face even though they were cold and wet. This enthusiasm made the trip. I would recommend the operation to friends.
Lynne
All personnel were extremely attentive, kind. and responsive to every request. Cruise Directors accommodated to groups’ request. Divemasters were excellent. Andy (massage) was very skilled. Would highly recommend boat + crew.

Excellent services from the crew. The best Liveaboard in my diving trips.
Clare & Will
As an adventurous honeymoon experience, the Arenui exceeded our expectation for service, comfort lodging and of course diving. However, it was the fabulous touch from the crew on our penultimate night that was really special: Unbeknownst to us, the chef had prepared us a cake with our names iced on it, which the crew presented to us following supper under the stars, then, serenaded us with a rendition of ‘When I fall in love’. Everyone was involved, from the stewards to the captain! A truly magical moment in a faultless trip. Thank you.

Arenui is 5 star boat with 5 star crew. My first ever Raja Ampat trip was beyond my expectation. Diving and safety were always their priority. This was an unforgettable trip for me. Diving with mantas, turtles, wobegongs, sea snakes and all those macro creatures was breathtaking. Thank you Jerry, Ali, Debbie, Olga, Tobi, Made, Moses and all the other 20 crew who did a fantastic job.
Andi
It was a big surprise for our group upon arrival of Arenui. This was much more than we expect from a diving liveaboard. The facility, crew, equipment were in a five star class standard. We enjoyed our trip very much.
