Our slogan, “the Boutique Liveaboard”, expresses our vision of providing the highest quality in everything we do – from diving to dining, from our leisure activities to our exquisite accommodations – and, above all, providing outstanding service at all times to our guests.
As an example of this philosophy, we offer our guests the choice of both comfortable indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing and dining. During meals, there is always an extensive selection of dishes and a tantalizing list of fine wines. When resting in between dives, our guests have the possibility of indulging themselves in a relaxing massage on deck.
Absolutely the most spacious liveaboard I’ve ever experienced—definitely designed by divers, for divers! The crew was beyond excellent in every area!
The presentations from the cruise directors were very informative and interesting. I also really enjoyed the videos shown between dives and in the evenings
This was my last trip—after 20 years, I’ve decided to close the chapter on my diving experience. I greatly appreciated how flexible and accommodating you were with my food restrictions. Muchas gracias, terima kasih 🙂
I cannot think of a single way to improve the experience—long life to Arenui and its crew! This was my first liveaboard experience, and I was amazed by the adventure. Two words for the food: quality and abundance. As a snorkeler, I never felt that the crew put me apart, and the staff were always smiling. I had a good feeling of what Indonesia has to offer, and it was great. Many thanks!
I hope many people get the chance to experience the Arenui Boutique Liveaboard—this is not goodbye, but au revoir! The diving was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s not just a boat, it’s a five-star floating hotel. Generous portions, many thanks to Chef Mario! Fahmi asked me to say he’s the best dive master—and you know what? He is! And on top, a fabulous entertainer
An experience of a lifetime—we truly feel like family with the staff! We felt loved and cared for on a whole new level. WOW—I didn’t expect this much service, attention, and care. I absolutely loved the scents of the clothes, shampoos, and towels—I’ve never experienced anything like this. The diving was beautiful, with a passionate, generous, and devoted crew. Chef was amazing, and I will miss the kindness and love from the entire team. I know I’ll cry when I leave!
It was a last-minute decision, and I don’t regret the incredible trip! Thanks to everyone—everybody was exceptional, always with a smile 🙂 Special wow to the chef team, and the snorkeling team was wonderful as well!
Very nice liveaboard—the best I’ve ever done!! Everything was perfect. Mario is the best chef ever!! The information sessions with Natalia and Alex were great, and Fahmi was awesome! Diving in Alor was perfect, what a beautiful country!
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!
