KLM Sea Safari 8, with a length of 35m and a beam of 10m is a spacious liveaboard schooner, ideal for cruising in the vast Indonesian waters. This luxury schooner, built of ironwood in traditional Buginese Phinisi style, comfortably accommodates up to 24 divers on liveaboard cruises around Raja Ampat and Cenderawasih Bay. Unlike with many other boats in this area, you can enjoy safaris from as little as 6 nights so this is a great choice for those short on time or budget.

Cabins are all en-suite and are mostly twin or double bed, on the main and lower decks. There are plenty of areas you can choose to relax in, and enjoy the high quality décor and ambience. You may socialise in the one of the 2 air-conditioned saloons. The main deck saloon has an adjoining dining area and is also a spacious and is enjoyed at meal times or simply for chatting over a coffee. The upper deck saloon is a spacious lounging area with wooden finishings, comfortable sofas and full entertainment facilities. Above this is the sun deck where you can enjoy a bottle of wine in the open-air Jacuzzi or work on your tan and observe the spectacular passing scenery of Raja Ampat.

The kit up area is especially generous in size due to the wide beam of the vessel. Diving operations are conducted from the 2 motorised aluminium dive tenders, and nitrox is provided for enriched air-certified divers. Guests may also make use of the ENOS tracking system to ensure the guides always know where they are. Photographers will appreciate the camera table and on-board computer for image editing. From the dive deck, sun deck, cabins and saloon, everything on board the KLM Sea Safari 8 liveaboard can be described as comfortable, well-appointed and most notably, spacious.
