10 Days / 9 Nights
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the beautiful waters of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Raja Ampat is on the bucket list of all divers and this is your chance to join us on this trip of a lifetime. This trip will be in April 2028 and we will be taking this trip aboard the Blue Pearl live aboard. I have attached some conceptual photos for you to view as this boat is not even in the water yet. This boat is not scheduled to set sail until middle of 2026. If I recall correctly it is an 83 meter boat and all rooms except 2 are on the main deck. There is a master suite one deck above and a newly added suite one deck below. At the time of our booking the suite below deck was not in the plans so at this time we do not have it, but if we get enough people wanting to go we can add it. I will get additional photos and information that I will upload. I feel that we are getting an exceptional offer to experience Indonesia on this boat being that it is brand new and state of the art. So please join us on this trip sign up now and make payments..
