Guest Experiences Aboard Blessing Liveaboard
Our guests often share their experiences, detailing the aspects of their voyage that made it particularly memorable. From the pristine waters of Komodo National Park to the attentive service of our crew, these testimonials provide insight into the Blessing Liveaboard experience.
“The Komodo trip with Blessing Liveaboard was outstanding. The crew were incredibly professional and made every effort to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Diving opportunities were plentiful, and the onboard chef prepared excellent meals. We chartered for 10 guests in late 2026, and the value for money was evident given the IDR 85,400,000 rate for our group size. We are already considering a return trip in 2027, anticipating a slight increase on the 2026 rates, perhaps around IDR 90,000,000 for a similar booking.”

“As an experienced diver, I’ve been on numerous liveaboards across Indonesia. Blessing Liveaboard stands out for its dive guides and the attention to detail. The boat itself is comfortable and well-maintained. Our group of 6 paid IDR 69,300,000 for our 2026 charter, which we found to be very competitive for the level of luxury and service provided. For 2027, we expect the daily per-person cost to align with the market trend of £400-£500 for similar luxury charters.”
