A Papua Explorers Boat

Coralia was new in 2019, catering to 16 guests in 8 luxurious cabins. It has spacious decks with lots of relaxation areas, delicious food, and of course spectacular diving and snorkeling. Coralia's journeys are led by our very experienced cruise directors Debbie and Jerry, who have been leading liveaboard curises all over Indonesia for more than 10 years.

Located on the main and upper decks are 4 spacious Master cabins, each with a double bed, wraparound picture windows, and a private balcony area. Located on the lower deck are 2 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. All rooms incorporate traditional design with modern amenities and feature ensuite bathrooms, AC, ample storage space, and a day bed.
