My latest trip was an amazing & truly incredible trip to the Banda Sea Ring of Fire in search of sighting Hammerheads & Sea snakes. The coral Reefs on some of these Islands were pristine and unbelievably beautiful !
Much gratitude for all their hard work and communication that goes on behind the scenes to make it possible for me to have done this. Thank You 🙏

I live in Switzerland and bought a cruise for Variety Cruise for Greece (a euro country). They put the price in Swiss Franc on the site and then LiveAboard says they only accept dollar ... I wanted to pay at least in Euro but said it was not possible, only dollars. Talked with someone from LiveAboard who said that the 'operator' only accept dollars. The fact is that other customers who bought ticket for a Variety cruise through other aggregator such as LiveAboard bought ticket for the same cruise in Euro. I ended paying $212 in fees and exchange rate just because of this payment in dollars.

Great service from start to finish. We booked with Liveaboard.com for the third time now. They have always been professional, helpful with any specific questions and genuinely tried to make the experience as smooth as possible. We also really appreciate the transparency the website provides to make a good like-for-like comparisons between the different operators.

The easiest way of booking a liveaboard trip. The team is very helpful and responsive. All questions are replied so quickly and effectively that the process flows very smoothly. They are really experienced. I had two trips with Liveaboard.com before and now the third one is on the corner. Trust Liveaboard.com and enjoy your diving holiday :)

The 2nd time I’ve used Liveaboard,com and there is a reason I came back.
Organising such an in depth trip requires a lot of work.. and they manage the whole process perfectly.
They communicate on my behalf and are completely transparent leaving no stone unturned.

Easy, all in one service. I always got a response to my questions.

I found that Liveaboard.com has a well designed website that makes choosing your destination and ship choices super easy. I was fearful that some requests would be lost in translation but all communications are completely clear. They seem to think of everything from travel itineraries to what to pack and even suggested tipping amounts. There were never any surprises or slip ups. They made planning the trip super easy for me since I had multiple family members traveling with us with allergies and food preferences that were carefully followed for our entire stay. I would not hesitate to recommend Liveaboard to anyone who wants to explore the region in comfort.

Running on Waves far exceeded my expectations and we had the trip of a lifetime. The boat is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. My daughter and I were passengers of the “Running on Waves” ship in September 2025 sailing beautiful Greek islands.

Every staff member is professional, committed, extremely friendly - meeting the expectations of all guests. Especially Lina - hotel manager. She worked all day every day to make sure everyone was having a wonderful experience. Also, a more than fantastic and accommodating all crew team, for sure would remember Aleksey - pirate looking gay and second officer in command after captain - Oleg.

Meals - delicious and varied food, nicely served, buffet style. Professional waiter service. Cook did an excellent job. No complaints about food, except dinner at 8 pm – on my opinion, is very late, but otherwise food service is exceptional.

Service is faultless, fast, efficient, and intuitive.

Beach towels and water provided when going ashore. When you are coming back – wet towel for refreshening. Staff always ask if you need anything while they are passing by.

The ship is in excellent condition, maintained in almost pedantic condition, and very clean. Captain Sergey - professional and friendly, as well as all other officers who provided a lot of interesting information during the cruise.

I can recommend with a clear conscience for people who expect an intimate and pleasant atmosphere, high quality service and food, welcoming another beautiful Greek island every morning. The cruise ran in a very pleasant atmosphere and a feeling of complete safety.

We had opportunities on this boat that you would never have on the big ships. Visiting these smaller islands, climbing the mast, and even jumping off the ship into the sea, watching sunrise and sunset. I could go on and on about Running on Waves. If you can book a sail on this incredible ship, please do it. You will not regret it.

Many good memories of our vacation, especially the people we met on board (staff and guests).

Unfortunately, there was one disappointment too. The first night before dinner the captain explained there were more wind changes in the forecast and presented two options to us via a map. He said we need to decide as a group what route to take. The red was where the extreme wind and the green was smooth sailing. We all voted for the green root except four passengers did not (mind you those 2 couples were on the sailboat the prior week). The captain said he would speak to the owner and get back to us. He came back and said we can still go for the second original route and see what happens, but it will be bumpy and update us the next night. There was no update the next night, however there were 5 people vomiting and they felt very sick. I have never been so sick in my life that I was so violently ill. My whole body was sore and spasming from everything coming out. I could not keep down any motion sickness pills or water. It was horrific to say the least. In my opinion either captain shouldn’t have said anything at all to passengers, or he should have taken the safer route (as he recommended for everyone to be comfortable), because it was not fair to say majority wanted a green route, but we went in opposite way after all. Thanks God - storms pass, otherwise I would not survive.

Very responsive and helpful - a great experience and wonderful trip

We have booked through LiveAboard for the second time and are completely satisfied and can recommend this portal with a clear conscience.

We have booked 5 different trips with liveaboard.com and we never had any issue. Good and timely communication with no surprises. Exactly what is needed for booking a Liveaboard

Ease of booking, clear information, and prompt support when requested made this service highly recommended.

The staff at liveaboard were all very friendly and helpful. They responded to my inqeries very fast as I was looking to make a last minute booking and they helped me decide which trip would be best.

Responsive team always there to answer my questions. Well organised and professional.

I had high expectations for this cruise and all were easily exceeded! The crew (Cruise Manager Tomi was especially great), the food, the destinations, and the swim stops were all perfect.
This voyage was the perfect vaction!

I booked a Palau Siren trip last year and it was great. We booked a Maldvies Scuba Spa and it has been terrible this year. On July 15th I wrote and asked a reschedule and the same day they got back to me and with a slight fee we could reschedule. Originally we were looking at dates in 2027 and the schedule was not available. 2 weeks ago we can back with March 2026 dates to see on availability. We waited patiently and were being told its taking longer than normal. We had a different person respond each time. The last person didnt even read the file or know what is going on. I wish I had not booked with them. This is painful to reschedule and customer service is terrible.

We are very glad to have chosen a boat trip with LiveAboard. All the information was given in a fast and helpful way since the beginning.
The trip was amazing, the boat was beautiful, comfortable and out Captain Denis was the best! He’s was extremely nice, very confident and dedicated to his job, did everything he could to make our experience the best ever. He made us special meals and took us to amazing diving spots. We met amazing people on this trip and will keep all those experiences in our hearts.

I've booked several trips on liveaboard.com and the communication has always been fast, friendly and professional. Everything has worked as it should.

Hassle-free booking, kept informed throughout the process and were very quick to reply to any questions. Excellent service.
The Liveaboard itself was excellent and I had a great trip, wouldn't hesitate to book again with them in the future

I have just returned from a week on ScubaSpa which I chose as the experience for my 80th birthday! This is my third trip with the company, because it never fails to deliver. What surprised me was how many return guests there were - the boat was literally crawling with them! You can get no better recommendation than guests who return and promote the company on your behalf. It's well deserved
