Dive liveaboard cruising is an appealing alternative to conventional land based dive vacations and larger cruise ships. We offer a richer travel experience – one that goes beyond the typical tourist sites. Aboard All Star Velocean you’ll get to experience a week of luxury, delicious meals and great diving along with optional included shore excursions and eco-adventures. With its size, diversity and expanse, this is the absolute best way to dive Indonesia!
The Velocean liveaboard is a 170 ft. (52m) all aluminum infrastructure with twin engines. With a cruising speed of 20 knots, she is twice as fast as other liveaboards and is the fastest in Indonesia. This means we are able to reach the dive sites faster, cover more area and give you more time to relax.
In total we have 24 crew members with 1 experienced dive guides and instructors, 1 cruise director and one assistant cruise director.
On Velocean, five meals are served daily either as a buffet or an ala carte meal. Pre-breakfast is presented for the early morning person with breads, pastries and cereals. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner will follow. Local fruits and/or desserts are also served with every meal.
Please let us know your request at least 2 weeks prior the trip through your online Trip Application. We will do our best to accommodate your dietary preferences. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free are pretty easy to work with as well as allergies so let us know upon booking if you require special meals. Please remember that you are participating in an adventure travel vacation that is occurring in a remote part of the world. Many of the modern conveniences, brands and pre-packaged goods we use at home are not available in remote destinations. As such, many special requests that are very specific may be difficult to accommodate. Finally, if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other special life event, please let us know. Our crew stands ready to assist you in making your special day something to remember.
