Solitude Adventurer is a 36-metre Aluminium catamaran, though built in the year 2000 she underwent a full renovation in 2017. Adventurer, initially designed to be a private yacht, is as of late-2018 when operations began Indonesia’s only catamaran liveaboard able to cater up to a maximum of 18 guests in unparalleled comfort. Explore the best liveaboard Indonesia experience aboard the Solitude Adventurer.
COMFORT AT SEA
All our rooms are situated above deck, featuring large windows and ample outdoor space, ensuring you won’t miss the stunning scenery that Indonesia has to offer. The catamaran’s extra width provides a sense of floating in an apartment rather than a boat. Our lounge amenities offer a variety of comforts, including a massage chair, a diverse selection of books, and cozy bean bags for enjoying movies or TV series from our extensive library. Guests are welcome to use our guitars, or you can relax as our talented crew serenades you with their musical skills aboard the Solitude Liveaboard.
DINING EXPERIENCE
Among the crucial elements of a vacation, food takes centre stage. Onboard, we prioritise ensuring you never experience hunger, providing five meals a day: a light breakfast, substantial breakfast, lunch, afternoon cooked snacks, and dinner. Complimentary biscuits and instant noodles are available around the clock. Main meals are generally buffet-style, though for specific cuisines, we offer à la carte service. While meals are typically served in our air-conditioned saloon, weather permitting, we might opt for a BBQ dinner under the stars on our ‘sundeck.’
SCUBA DIVING
Indonesia, renowned as a marine biodiversity hotspot, houses an unmatched array of marine life. Comprising over 17,509 islands at the heart of the coral triangle, it features 20% of the world’s coral reefs. With 3,000 fish species, 600 coral varieties, deep water trenches, volcanic seamounts, and historic World War II wrecks, Indonesia caters to diverse diver interests. From vibrant coral formations to captivating macro subjects, the underwater realm promises an enthralling experience. With its rich variety of marine ecosystems, Indonesia emerges as the ultimate destination for underwater enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled adventure beneath its tropical waters.
Cabins
Solitude Adventurer currently has a total of 8 cabins that can accommodate a maximum capacity of 18 guests. With the design, we applied our experiences from refurbishing our other liveaboard, MV Solitude One, paying close attention to detail while using common sense, as well as incorporating feedback from guests and essential elements from the hospitality world, being very aware of what discerning divers need and want. All rooms are above deck allowing for large windows to gaze at the surrounding scenery.

We know that time and investment in holidays are valuable and you want to dive as much as you can. We fully understand that, as we take diving holidays too! Be assured that we are committed to providing you with as many dives as we safely can. Besides the obvious reasons why we would not let you go for a dive (stated in your registration form declaration), being well-rested and rehydrated for your first dive is a good first step.
This is why we need to ensure that you have at least 6 hours of proper rest after your arrival before making your first dive. We know you learned about safety during your scuba course(s) but sometimes the excitement and anticipation of a diving holiday can get the better of us and we tend to overlook our own condition for a dive.
Our commitment to safety also includes our crew which is why we limit a maximum of 4 dives (including a night dive) in a day so that they too get ample rest to minimise fatigue, ergo minimise the risk of working on a vessel.
As always, itineraries are subject to weather, logistics, and also, importantly, where sites are better during the week of your cruise. Your cruise directors will constantly be updating you on the schedule/plans on board during your cruise.
