The food wasn't very varied, except for the large sushi and sashimi buffet on the first and last days. Meat, fish, and chicken were dry and overcooked.
The wine selection was rather mediocre, with cheap wines that were sour but not inexpensive, and a can of beer/cola costing €4. Additional costs such as the fuel surcharge were also steep. If it weren't for the top team, dive guides, briefings, attentiveness, and friendliness of the crew, and the large, wonderful cabins, I would rate the Amira as average.
There are 38 dives and something for everyone. For my taste, apart from the great coral reefs, there was not much to see underwater. Everyone raves about Raj Ampat on the internet? Maybe it's due to climate change, as I've seen better in the Maldives. That's my personal opinion.

The best liveaboard we have been on so far, everything was perfect, the crew was attentive in every way and the food was simply superb. The diving organization worked really well, always in very small groups, with a strong focus on safety, ENOS for every diver.

The Amira is not only the most beautiful dive boat I know, but also the best. It's not for nothing that I've already been a guest 5 times and will certainly be back soon. The ship offers plenty of space, beautiful, spacious cabins, enough mooring space in the shade and also enough space under the roof for rainy weather, as well as a spacious dive deck where everything runs like clockwork. Experienced dive guides ensure sensational dives, the only 3 chefs provide excellent food, the housekeeping guys ensure clean cabins and perfect service during meals (and delicious cocktails!) and other good spirits in the background ensure the smooth operation of the ship and the dinghies.
Safety is also a top priority on the Amira - an annual dry dock and various jobs between tours pay off - the ship always looks like new. Regular training of the crew in the use of firefighting equipment and the safety check at the beginning of each tour give the feeling of being very safe on board.
I look forward to the next time!

The Amira is a diving ship in a class of its own: it leaves nothing to be desired for both divers and accompanying persons.

Such a beautiful ship! Super tasty food, great and attentive crew. Worth every cent (says the Swabian)
Great diving and super guides. And a lot of emphasis is placed on safety, great

(Automatically translated from German)

The ship is 6-star plus in terms of service. Definitely a ship I would like to return to. The only thing I didn't like 100% was that it rained quite heavily (cabin, outside in the corridor and - very dangerously - at the camera board). The latter can quickly become dangerous and/or expensive. Sealing is urgently needed here. Despite the exclusivity, it often happened that all 20+ divers (including guides) were at the same small spot. I wish the guides would take a bit more action with divers who seemed to have bought their spot on the reef (e.g. in front of a cave with a walking shark) for 1/2 hour. But also with divers who plow through the reef like a wrecking ball.... But otherwise top-top-top.

The trip on the Amira was absolutely fantastic again! As always, everything was just great!

Forgotten Islands tour with the Amira. Large, spacious ship, best crew, delicious food, very nice dives. Fantastically overgrown coral reefs. However, if you are looking for big fish, this is not the tour for you. The active volcanic islands on the way were exciting, especially Komba.

My third trip on the AMIRA, this time to the Forgotten Islands, was the most spectacular thing I have ever experienced in my diving career. Spectacular in all respects and at all times. I will certainly be flashed by these impressions above and below the water for a long time to come.

It starts with the excellent travel planning by Aquaventure. At no point during the trip did the feeling arise that something might not work out. Even the 4-hour drive to the end (closed due to the volcanic airport in Maumere) would actually have been subject to entertainment tax (impressions of the country, roads that are not roads).
There's not really much to say about the AMIRA, except that Nora and Kai regularly manage to motivate the crew in such a way that as a guest you always have the feeling that you are the only guest of the year. The AMIRA is a reason in itself to make a trip to Indonesia. The ship, the space, the ambience, the food, the crew - it's amazing.

The tour - what can I say: we are anchored in front of an active volcano, there is smoke above and we are diving in the lava sand below. Could it get any more spectacular? Underwater world, corals, fish, etc. - mega.

The whole thing was topped off by the fact that we had 2 professional animal and underwater filmmakers in our group of 4 divers. Mega relaxed, super fun and totally inspiring?
In addition to these 2 "underwater brains", the other guests were also very relaxed and everything came together very harmoniously.

Have I forgotten something?

Overall impression: Outstanding Experience - 1 with */12 points/100%

It doesn't get any better than this! The best safari ship I've ever been on.

(Automatically translated from German)

It was simply fantastic. The service was not overdone. They tried to read every wish from your eyes. Super crew, super service and top dive sites. A highlight for muck divers.

(Automatically translated from German)

A few extra shelves would be nice in the cabins, especially in the bathroom.
Unfortunately the ENOS system was not available for security (deduction of points) otherwise definitely 6 stars.

(Automatically translated from German)

Super ship and service.
Unfortunately there was not enough fish!
Cuisine too European!
But everything else top!
Briefing, staff, ship, super support and guides!
I'll be back :-)

The dive safari on the Amira was simply fantastic! The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional - you always felt that you were in good hands. The food was first class, varied and always freshly prepared. The entire organization was perfectly thought out so that we could completely relax and enjoy the diving. The ship itself is beautiful and very comfortable. The dive sites were breathtaking and varied - simply a paradise for divers!

This trip was more than worth it and I can recommend the Amira 100%! I will definitely be back!

The Amira is the most beautiful and best diving boat I know. As always, everything went perfectly. You can see that the ship is regularly in dry dock and is well maintained and cared for, it always looks like new. The crew is great, all super friendly and helpful, and a well-rehearsed team. Perfect guidance by cruise director Nora.

(Automatically translated from German)

We had a wonderful time on the Amira with a very dedicated team.
For us, these were very special days in a unique underwater world that we will never forget.

(Automatically translated from German)

Wonderful dives at Kommodo. The guides were excellent and very dedicated - as was the rest of the crew! The ship and the cabins are spacious, designed with attention to detail and simply great. A small deduction for the food, because there was a little too much European cuisine for my taste.

We didn't realize that we would be driving practically every night, so the nights were restless and the quality of sleep suffered as a result.

Fantastic! The entire ship runs like a high-quality Swiss watch. The crew is friendly, courteous and competent without exception. The steamer is perfectly equipped for diving. The impressions of the Raja Ampat region and the underwater world are incredibly beautiful and unforgettable.

(Automatically translated from German)

The dive guides were just great and found the smallest animals under water! The food was the best - fresh and varied every day. The cabins were cleaned twice a day and were very comfortable.
A trip to dream about

- Raja Ampat still excites even the most experienced divers, professional underwater photographers and passionate marine biologists. An immeasurable abundance of marine life
Raja Ampat (the 4 Kings) has cast a spell on me... awe inspiring beauty
- Magical rainbow colors underwater
- Millions of schooling fish
- Beautiful, very colorful soft coral gardens
- Limestone rocks

Amira was great and the whole team and also the service were 1A. We will definitely come again :-)

The only thing that we personally did not find so good were the in our opinion very high prices, for example, for drinks (6.20€ Bitan large, Heineken 4.20€ small) compared to the average prices in the trade (Indon.beer 0.5l 36.000IDR, Import beer 0.33l 36.000IDR). Even the prices in the hotel were cheaper!
The same goes for the tip suggestion (20-25€ per person/night). After all, the cost of living and also the average salary (about 260€) cannot be compared to Europe.
The crew of the Amira is outstanding and that one should pay them better not to lose them...no question, but with max. 19 guests each employee (25) gets after 11 days approx. 167€ what 64% of the Indonesian mtl. average earnings are. Just think about it, and maybe adjust the prices or
Proposals something adapt and give the guests more leeway.
We know from Egypt a price of about 75€ per week per person...more always goes. On the Amira is a felt directly the gun on the chest. We always like to pay more for good or very good service, but rather voluntarily!

Top as always
! Again and again !


(Automatically translated from German)

actually everything was very good in the care as well as food was also suitable. only with 3 things I was somewhat dissatisfied.
Cabins: in the lower ship was mine, very spacious and bathroom also ok. But the Amira is a wooden ship and as soon as it drives in the night to the next dive spot is the engine and also the crackling so strong that you can not sleep and I'm not talking about romantic beam crunching but as loud as next to a small jet. if you need a noise sample that I can send you gladly.
i can't recommend the cabin in the lower ship, the cabins above didn't seem to have the problem.
wifi: you don't have time to buy a cheap sim so it would be much better to have that. would be provided. and the cost can be offered as an option.
3) concerns the booked flights.
I had unfortunately not realized but the. were rather bad in the transit between times. very long stays between flights.

the diving area was for me so far ok. except for the few muck dives I would not have missed. hammerhead shark we would have liked to see but there was unfortunately none. corals and fish were still intact.

Our first liveaboard was just a hit! The AMIRA is really a great experience. Everything is just right: Lots of space, very clean and well maintained, extremely helpful crew, sensational food and very competent and friendly cruis directors. The dive sites on the Komodo tour were simply exhilarating. The highlight was diving with the manta rays in Manta Alley. Big fish, lots of small fish and lots of macro things are almost guaranteed. The colorfulness of the reefs is wonderful. We think, our next liveaboard we will do again with the proud AMIRA. Many thanks to the whole crew for the great experience. Last but not least the travel agency of Urs Seleger, who once again made a fantastic trip possible for us.

The Amira more than lives up to its slogan - premium diving Indonesia.
The boat is beautiful and offers plenty of space for the 19 guests. The diving is sensationally organized and the crew is so attentive.

The single cabin is relatively noisy when the ship sails overnight. But: this can not be changed and is therefore acceptable.

(Automatically translated from German)

Once again it has to be said: The Amira is unbeatable! Everything is just right on this ship!

(Automatically translated from German)

We had a very nice diving trip!
The whole organization of AAA was perfect.
We recommend but to book the cabins below deck.they are larger and better air-conditioned.
The food was very varied and also delicious. Only at breakfast there were deductions in the B grade. There was in the morning unfortunately only, for us unusual, sweet bread, which was also bad to toast. Topping unfortunately only one kind of cheese in foil and otherwise jam, but you can cope with. We ate omelettes every day. The dinner was sometimes a little tight. But otherwise everything was great. We even had fresh sashimi and sushi. Unfortunately, the visibility was very bad up to a maximum of 30 meters. Therefore we often had no chance to see big fish. We had only two manta rays, a few sharks and turtles. Otherwise for macro fans and for fans of untouched coral nature, a paradise. The dive guides were a very happy bunch. There was also a lot of singing in the evenings. The whole staff on the ship was always eager to see us happy. We recommend you book a stop over on the outbound trip. Maybe a few days resort at the end. Otherwise it can all get pretty tiring. It took us 33 hours each way from door to door. Final feedback from us. We would book this trip again. And many greetings to the crew of the Amira.

The dive sites are chosen very carefully. Before each dive is checked whether currents are present and then the dive is planned.

There's really nothing to it!
This was the best birthday present I ever gave myself! 25 man crew for 20 divers, simply brilliant! To visit the ideal dive sites in the coral triangle with such a "mad ship", there's nothing like it, it screams for repetition!

(Automatically translated from German)

Tour Gorontalo to Bintung. No diving highlight, but something different with dive spots without other divers.

(Automatically translated from German)

How shall I say, it was practically the lockdown tour ! We couldn't start all the planned dive spots as we wanted because we had to end the trip prematurely. But the crew made the best out of the situation and I still enjoyed the trip to the full.

The ship is a dream of every diver. The course of the day is very well organized, but nevertheless every single diver is taken into consideration. We have had our greatest experiences above and under water on this ship...

(Automatically translated from German)

This is my second time on the Amira. This time Komodo was in line and I was not disappointed. Nora organized everything very well and responded individually to the wishes of the guests. The dive guides are great and the house band on the Amira is legendary. Also the shore excursions on Komodo and the sunset trip on Komodo were further highlights on the tour. You could spend days and weeks on the Amira - time went by so fast. Anytime again.

(Automatically translated from German)

Top service, especially since the ship was not fully booked. The crew was always responsive to you and almost read your wishes from your lips.
Also serving tea or refreshments on the dive deck before you undress is great.
The dive spots were very good and very productive for taking pictures.

(Automatically translated from German)

Each tour is unique but all are perfect to take home unforgettable impressions.
This time our trip went to the waters around And to the island Alor.
Good dive planning, a familiar atmosphere with the guests and an excellent cuisine left nothing to be desired this time either.
Thanks to the Amira crew and aquaventure for the smooth arrival and departure.

(Automatically translated from German)

Premium Class through and through. We have been on board the AMIRA several times.

(Automatically translated from German)

Cenderawasih Bay. Very nice trip with the highlight: 2 days of pure whale sharks around the clock. Varied, because we dived in Cenderawashi Bay and before at top spots (Penemu, Kri) in Raja Ampat. The diving in Cenderawasih Bay itself is rather mediocre, but was probably due to the extremely warm water (31 degrees) during our trip. But I was there because of the whale sharks and to be allowed to dive so close with these beautiful animals for 2 days is an unforgettable experience that you should definitely have done!
