We recently received the photos, videos, and drone footage from the photographer, and looking through them once again reminded us of how truly unforgettable our Celestia journey was. It was without question one of the most extraordinary experiences of our lives.

Your hospitality and constant thoughtfulness toward our group meant so much to us. Whenever we asked for something, or even when we had sudden changes, you always responded with such grace and positivity. We felt so reassured and supported throughout the trip.

As a family traveling with young children, we had many concerns before the journey, but thanks to you, everything turned into a wonderful and worry-free adventure. You made sure even our children had fun—whether by arranging crab races on the beach, choosing snorkeling spots close to shore that kids could enjoy, or simply creating moments of laughter and excitement.

We are also deeply grateful for the perfect balance you kept—committing so much to making our wishes possible, yet also giving us the privacy and space to enjoy time together as a family. That thoughtful balance made the trip not just enjoyable, but truly special.

Meeting you was such a blessing for us. Your warmth, professionalism, and constant bright energy are something we will never forget. We are already talking about how we’d love to go on another Celestia voyage soon, and we very much hope to see you again there. Please don’t forget us!

It was absolutely great. Best service ever, even compared to Aman Hotels!

I wanted to take a moment to give thanks to you and your team for creating an unforgettable experience for our families. Of course, Raja Ampat is a magical backdrop for a luxury live-aboard experience and the Celestia a beautifully appointed Phinisi with a gorgeous aesthetic. However, the real prize goes to you and the crew for making every moment a magical one.

You anticipated our every need and responded to our every want. You were flexible, communicated effectively and were a joy to be around. In your care we felt comfortable and safe and knew that you always wanted us to have the best time. Not only did the chef do an incredible job adapting to our myriad of dietary restrictions, but the crew responded with pleasure to whatever our hearts desired. Whether it was a stunning beachside bbq or cold towels atop a mountain hike, at every turn we were absolutely blown away with the level of service with a smile we received.  This was like the ultimate marine safari and even for the non divers there was always a wow to be had. Your equipment was first rate and really all we needed to bring was a bathing suit.

As a professional in the travel industry I know how much you should be commended for your attention to detail which resulted in the most incredible travel experience we’ve ever had. Celestia is indeed gorgeous but she is also lucky to have you!!
Immeasurable thanks for creating memories we will never forget.
Terima Kasih Banyak.

The boat was great. Crew was just lovely! Food was varied, fresh and good. Diving access, equipment, in/out of water was all done with high professionalism and thoughtfulness. Yummy fun drinks upon return from dive or land excursions. Jennifer the cruise director is a winner and the boat is lucky to have her. We enjoyed her company. We had 4 brand new divers, all of whom did their last certification with Celestia... it went off without issues and we now have 4 more happy divers.... Ready for their next trip:))

My wife and I are traveling with friends and are currently aboard the Celestia. I have a bit of time to myself today and would like to share some feedback with you. While I spent time scuba diving on a live aboard before, this is our first time on a charter boat such as the Celestia.

Before I mention the highlight of our experience, which is the crew, I do want to mention some other things that are also important. The vessel herself is both an adventure and a home away from home. It is a joy to be on the Celestia! This morning my wife and I woke up early and went up to the upper deck to look at the stars. The large cushions by the bow are a favorite with the children in our group. The dining area on the main deck provides our entire group – 13 of us – with beautiful views for each meal. Even simple things such as taking a nap and playing games seem too good to be true aboard the Celestia.

Of course the food has been amazing! Every meal has brought all sorts of praises. The menu is new and exotic, as well as familiar and comforting. This is true not only of the meals, but of all the snacks and beverages throughout the day, including every time we return aboard the ship after an adventure. Hot chocolate after our night dives!

But as I mentioned, as wonderful as the vessel is, what is most impressive to us is the crew of the Celestia. We have a very active group! On most days we are scuba diving 3 times! We also hike a lot and do water sports. The crew, every one of them, is active in happily assisting us with whatever we do. It is apparent to all of us how hard they are working and the long hours that they put in each day. Our cruise director Jennifer has assisted my wife and I now for several weeks as we prepared for our trip. In addition to her many other duties she has accompanied us on each dive to educate us and help us have a great experience. She also oversees the entire team, and her leadership comes out in the exceptional services that they provide. Every deck hand, food server, engineer, the pilots, dive master, the kitchen staff, and the other staff members are skilled not only in what they do, but how they serve the guests. This is true in everything from the cleanliness of the Celestia, to the dives and everything that is required for each scuba event, meals, massages, and our daily activities. It is also true for the little things such as opening the doors for us, assisting us with our wetsuits, arranging the deck furniture for us and many other routine tasks. God is blessing us through this entire team and all that they are doing. For my wife and I we wish to extend our thanks not only to the crew, but to your entire organization that creates experiences like this. Thank you!

The interiors of Celestia were top of the line, comfortable and chic. Celestia’s custom toiletry line scent was lovely. The dive equipment was state of the art and the dive masters were knowledgeable and fun to dive with. Laying on the bowsprit resting and reading after a dive was always so comfortable.

The chef and his team treated us so well. Everything was fresh & flavorful. Presentation and execution were 10/10. The crew went above and beyond — they helped us celebrate a birthday and anniversary while on board, and felt like a part of our family. The private beach day was a particular highlight — it felt like we were the only people around for miles (maybe we were!). It was the most phenomenal trip of my life!

We have just enjoyed 9 days on Celestia in Raja Ampat, I can not recommend this yacht highly enough. We have been on other liveaboards and the crew on Celestia went above and beyond in their caring for us. Everyone from the deckhand to chef, the masseuse, the dive guides were amazing.

The yacht itself is perfection, generously sized cabins with the most beautiful decoration, the bathrooms are also gorgeous with the 3 main cabins even having Japanese style toilets!

The food was above and beyond with Chef Wayan from Home in Bali being the menu creator with 2 onboard chefs creating the most delicious multi course meals 3 times a day!

Seriously if you are thinking of chartering in Indonesia then look no further, you have found heaven on the high seas!

We couldn't possibly ask for more! Jennifer and the entire crew has seared a magical core memory in all of us, from start to finish! We are so lucky to have chosen Celestia and this is the best trip we ever have in our lifetime up to date and likely nothing else could exceed this experience.

We are forever grateful for the dedication to details and genuine hospitality of the crew in making every single moment of this trip special.

Thank you for an absolutely spectacular experience. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness of the crew made it truly a ‘Celestial' trip we will never forget. Everything from the food to the activities were very well planned and enjoyable, with the icing on the cake being the stunning and authentic performance musically by the crew!!
THANK YOU!! We are honored to be the maiden voyage.

Inspired to poetry:

Sailed we did on Celestia's ship
and had many a brilliant trip
We strolled a bridge by lizard asleep
and rode a dinghy by a dragon that weeped
up & up we hiked & climbed
For a majestic gold & orange setting
of the sun that twilighted in a pink & turquiose wedding
We feasted under the moon & sails
& listened to Jennifer’s wonderful tales
We sang & danced many nights before
but never amongst the stars ashore
until we met the crew of this blessed boat
