Indonesia MY Emperor Harmoni is the newest and among the largest luxury Indonesian scuba diving liveaboards. Its traditional design is in keeping with Sulawesi ironwood Phinisi schooners, but its interior is contemporary design. At 48 metres in length and with three decks, the boat is huge. Unlike almost every other Indonesia liveaboard, Harmoni is powered by two motors, but can also sail on the wind. Starting trips in July 2020, up to twenty lucky guests are welcome on each cruise, but even if only one or two join every trip is guaranteed!
There are ten cabins on board. Four are located on the upper deck, and six on the lower deck. All cabins have individually-controlled air conditioning and private bathrooms. The upper-deck cabins also have large windows, compared to portholes on the lower deck. On the middle deck is a huge, air-conditioned lounge saloon and dining restaurant. The design is contemporary, tasteful and in keeping with the boat’s design but meeting guests’ needs & desires. Fine diving is guaranteed either indoors or out on deck, enjoying the stunning views. A glass of wine is served for free with each evening meal, and the well-stocked bar has plenty of choice to perfectly complement the delicious food on offer. Like the rest of the crew, the chef’s team are dedicated to making every moment of your Komodo or Raja Ampat diving cruise one to remember for many years to come.
Emperor Harmoni stands out from other liveaboards in Indonesia with free Nitrox fills and prices that include marine park & harbour fees and any local taxes. Solo travellers are guaranteed not be sharing with another guest of the opposite sex. Instead they will be placed in a twin-bunk cabin with a guest of the same gender, or given a cabin to themselves.
Ensuring that all the best diving locations are visited throughout the year, MY Emperor Harmoni travels around Indonesia. In July, August & September there are 7 Day / 7 Ninght cruises at the Komodo Islands. From late November until May Harmoni offers 7-night and 9-night cruises around Raja Ampat, west Papua. And in between there are ‘crossing trips’ which sail across the Banda Sea (Ring of Fire/Spice Islands).
