Amira skillfully combines the modernity of a liveaboard yacht with the old world charm of a traditional Indonesian phinisi. Built explicitly for diving in 2010, and designed to meet the highest safety standards, Amira offers luxury liveaboard trips to Indonesia’s top dive sites. Cruising the world-famous sites of Komodo, Raja Ampat, Triton Bay, Alor, the Banda Sea, the Forgotten Islands and Cenderawasih Bay, this luxury wooden vessel and its highly-experienced, international team promise a dream Indonesian diving adventure for every guest. Add in exciting excursions to secluded beaches, dense jungles and local villages, and Amira assures an all-round five star liveaboard holiday.

Aboard this vessel, you’ll find style, luxury and comfort at every turn. Thoughtful details include sumptuous solid wood interiors, fine dining and a fully stocked bar featuring imported wine and spirits, and optional creature comforts like massage therapy and spa services. With just 19 guests on board this enormous phinisi and a nearly 1:1 crew to guest ratio, you are guaranteed plenty of personal space and delightfully customised service. And, when you aren’t busy blowing bubbles, you’ll also have access to complimentary watersports equipment, an extensive marine ID library, and exciting daily activities organised by the crew.
