Amazing Experience

By: BeachJackie


Reviewed on: 11 Mar 2023

Everything about this experience was extraordinary! Unique itinerary, beautiful yacht, small and intimate with excellent food and service. Activities offered are many. The Raja Ampat itinerary is geared heavily to water based activities, swimming right off the ship, kayaking, snorkeling and scuba, zodiac excursions. For the well traveled group on my sailing, we all agreed it was an outstanding opportunity.
