Indonesian liveaboard cruises with Aurora

Trip Details
Cabins

The Aurora cruises all year to the most spectacular and breath-taking diving regions of the Indonesian archipelago, where spectacular waters and stunning landscapes wait to be discovered. This 42m long phinisi liveaboard was built in Sulawesi, offering all the advantages of a modern boat combined with the charm of a traditional one. The friendly crew ensure guest comfort and satisfaction during all trips.

Aurora accommodates up to 21 guests in 9 double or twin cabins, with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and daily housekeeping services. The on-board expert chefs will delight you with local and international buffets for every taste, served in the air-conditioned saloon. Special menus are available, such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

Diving is conducted from 2 large, high-speed twin-engine tenders (max. capacity of 8 divers, plus guides and crew). The dive zone includes a briefing area with whiteboard, wetsuit and drying racks, diver storage boxes, and 2 rinse tanks. All guest equipment is handled by the crew. There is also a camera room on the main deck. There will be 3-4 dives per day (max. 70 minutes per dive), including night dives, and guests are split in to 4-5 dive groups. Nitrox is free of charge for EANx-certified divers. Emergency oxygen and a defibrillator are available.

After a full day of thrilling dives and unforgettable experiences with the professional guides, guests can relax in the air-conditioned saloon or enjoy the gorgeous view from the sun deck, replate with sun loungers. There is a video library, hi-fi with IPod docking station, and for the more energetic, sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
