SY Mandarin Siren may not be a giant among liveaboards in Raja Ampat at only 24m in length, but with the trade mark service of the Siren fleet you can expect a high quality experience. Most frequently seen cruising with a maximum of up to only 6 guests on board in the Raja Ampat region, there are also some trips to North Sulawesi and Komodo in Indonesia.

Guests are accommodated in 4 cabins either single, double or twin share. All cabins have air conditioning with computer, TV, DVD and music in each cabin. En-suite bathrooms have hot showers with towels and bathrobe. Socialising tends to take place in the outdoor dining area, air-conditioned saloon with big screen TV and bar, or on the sun deck. All beers are free of charge on the Mandarin Siren.

The dive deck has plenty of room for guests to gear up with tanks filled in each station. All dives are done by tender and you can enjoy a post-dive, fresh water shower on the main deck. Nitrox is provided free of charge for EANx certified divers. For those seeking an intimate West Papua liveaboard experience, in small groups, the Mandarin Siren could be the ideal choice for you.
