This was my second dive trip to Komodo, but under the expert guidance of the Seven Seas crew, everything felt totally new. It’s impossible to overstate the impact an experienced captain, cruise director, and crew will have on your experience in Komodo. Read More
Great Feedback to Seven Seas plus Mola Mola video
"The Seven Seas is one of the nicest live aboards experiences I have ever had. Admittedly it is smaller than many other boats I have been on, but its condition is immaculate, the boat is very well kept (the crew visibly maintains it day after day), absolutely clean at all times." Read More
East of Flores Cardinal Fishes

Not just a once in a lifetime experience!

A lot of it you will see as soon as you come on board and some of it you won't see but it is crucial for the well running of The Seven Seas for the year to come. Read More
East of Flores, April 30 to May 10th, 2017
Standing on the upper deck of the Seven Seas at sunrise on the morning of day two. The first colors of the day are glowing in the east, but the beauty of the Indonesian daybreak is completely eclipsed by the panorama of raw geology we're all staring at. Read More
