Highlights
A traditional wooden phinisi built in south Sulawesi, the Queenesia liveaboard was custom-built for fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Komodo National Park. Catering to just 8 guests, the Queenesia creates a feeling of comfort in 3 well-equipped cabins. Each room has storage space, charging ports, individually controlled AC, and private en-suite bathrooms. Flexible bedding configuration, which includes a double cabin, a twin cabin, and a quad cabin, is perfect for a small-group charter of family or friends. The large main-deck area is ideal for relaxing in-between activities, enjoying the sea breeze, or taking in the beautiful sunrise or sunset. The onboard cook freshly prepares food customized to guests' tastes. A range of local vegetables, fruit, fresh fish, and a mix of European-inspired and healthy dishes is served.
With flexible itineraries, cruises combine the perfect balance of diving and non-diving activities. Dive with reef sharks, turtles, and manta rays on one day and hike to beautiful viewpoints, walk along pristine beaches, and enjoy island-hopping the next. The large tender makes getting to and from the dive sites nice and easy, and small groups ensure a stress-free dive experience.

Amazing diving, excellent value
While the boat is not the most comfortable, the diving is excellent and Ed the dive guide was the best we ever had. There is no hot water in the cabin bathroom, but aircon worked fine. During our liveaboard, there were only four guest, us included. If the boat is full, it might get a little cramped. Food was also great. We felt we got amazing value for money, liveaboard is definetely the best way to do Komodo, we had even the popular divesites almost to ourselves, as the boat got there first. We had a crew of 8 who were amazing and so friendly.

Great encounters in Komodo and comfortable boat
The trip was great, we were very lucky to see mantas and sharks very close and for a long period of time. We did south Komodo because the north was closed due to the weather in December. Visibility was good. The crew and the other guests made me have an amazing time, we did karaoke at night, snorkel with sharks... The boat is quite big and clean. The rooms are very comfortable. Everything was well organized, also the trekkings.

Excellent liveaboard!
I had a great time aboard the Queenasia. The organization was top and the crew really great! The food was varied and there was always something for vegetarians. The dive sites were well chosen and the divemasters and the rest of the crew did everything possible to make us have a wonderful time. I would recommend this trip to anyone!The bedrooms were sufficiently large and everything was available (towels, shampoo and soap, hair dryer).

Komodo from north to south, to repeat!
Except for one dive that was very rough and with little visibility all the others were very good, special mention to Crystal Rock and Batu Bolong

"Welcomeee baaack"
This boat is as no frill as it gets, it truly encapsulates the saying "eat sleep dive repeat". There is nothing fancy about this boat, but that in itself the the charm of Queenesia. This wooden boat gives vintage feels, the staff onboard were spectacular. From the food service to the dive gear assistance, to a simple cheer wishing us a great dive before every dive and a loud cheer after every dive saying "WELCOME BACK" The housekeeping staff Rayan went out of his way to make sure we were well fed or had a glass of water before our dive or a cup of hot milo/ginger tea after the dive. The dive guides were brilliant. They went out of their way to fulfill our requests to the best of their ability. Highly recommend this boat for anyone who wants to "dive" Komodo.

A trip to remember..
This was one of the best weeks of diving my partner and I have ever had. We were welcomed onboard by the most amazing, friendly, happy boat crew. They were there whenever you needed anything, always happy to help with a smile - could not have wished for a better boat crew. My partner was a little ill for a day during the trip, but they had everything she needed onboard and were super attentive. The diving was nothing short of incredible. The dive masters, Edmond and Rickie, were fantastic. They did v good briefings, great in the water, took their time during the dive, felt very safe - zero complaints - they made the trip very memorable. Food was great with prepared snacks in between dives too, there was never a moment either of us were hungry! The treks to see Komodo dragons and sunrise were very nice too. 100% would recommend and we will definitely be going again! Thank you for the amazing trip

Excellent
I had a pleasant time with queenesia. It's not the most luxurious boat but it is very comfortable. I am very lucky to have a boat of diver with similar dive profile. So we explore dive sites with the maximum time allowed. This also allows us to see a healthy Komodo! There was engine issues with generators which others has brought up before. I think management need to take some time back to have the generator serviced rather than having trips from back to back.

A simple, no frills liveaboard.
A smooth trip in Komodo NP. Queenesia is a nice boat with lots of room for relaxing and diving alike. The crew were warm & friendly, whilst also being flexible, adapting the itinerary to suit the changing conditions and guest requests. What could’ve made it even better would be a dedicated smoking area, to prevent guests smoking in communal rest areas and more variety with the food.

Epic Komodo national park diving
If you are looking for a no frills live aboard but with all of the important stuff like dive master , sites to dive and great and knowledgeable crew then this might be the boat for you. We were lucky and out of a possible 8 people , only two of us made the journey ..: and it was just perfect. The liveaboard continued with no changes, just a lot more flexibility and even more close attention to our needs (7 crew to 2 of us). We did everything we needed, we saw all of the animals that we came for (mantas,sharks,turtles, frog fish, nudibranches etc etc it was fab. Also food was better than expected with lots of local and fresh food.
