Blue Pearl is a brand-new 48m liveaboard designed and build for exploring some of Indonesia’s most exciting dive destinations. With just 20 guests in ten sea-view cabins, the vessel feels spacious without losing the sociable atmosphere that makes liveaboard trips so enjoyable. Between dives, guests can stretch out on large outdoor decks, relax in the whirlpool, visit the spa room or settle in with a drink at one of the bars. Three tenders support the diving, while itineraries range from Raja Ampat and Komodo to the Banda Sea, Alor and longer crossings between remote islands. It’s a particularly appealing choice for divers who enjoy adventurous itineraries onboard a modern liveaboard, but still appreciate luxury and plenty of room to relax.
