Understanding the Core Experience

A Raja Ampat liveaboard is an investment in an expedition, not just a trip. The base cost reflects the vessel itself — its size, design, crew-to-guest ratio (often 1:1 on premium charters), and the logistics of operating in a remote region. A typical voyage spans 7–12 nights with 3–4 dives daily.

Three Vessel Tiers

Pricing scales with vessel category, cabin tier, itinerary length, and season. Peak season (Oct–Apr) commands 10–20% premium.
