A rare opportunity with Arenui - Alor Cruises *Apr-May 2020*

Posted in:

Those well acquainted, may know of Arenui´s schedule; reserved years in advance. An exclusive opportunity has arisen for a limited number of guests to join our Alor cruise (April 28 – May 8, 2020 | 4 cabins available) and Alor-Komodo expedition (May 10-22, 2020 | last cabin).

An exclusive opportunity has arisen for a limited number of guests to join our Alor cruise (April 28 – May 8, 2020 | 4 cabins available) and Alor-Komodo expedition (May 10-22, 2020 | last cabin). Exquisite dining, luxurious cabins, decadent surroundings and of course, world-renowned diving.

Additionally, this cruise will be joined by Jose Castellano, a highly knowledgeable and passionate marine biologist who will satisfy all of your sea creature curiosities. Can you see yourself, in just a few months´ time, indulging in all that Arenui Boutique Liveaboard has to offer?

Diving:
Embarking at Maumere, the Arenui will set sail to the east for 10 and 12 nights. Experience 27 – 35 dives in the array of phenomenal dive sites around Alor (and Komodo National Park on the 2nd cruise).

With five dive guides, you are sure to receive a most personal service. An abundance of life is waiting to be discovered. Reef sharks, turtles and pygmy seahorses can be spotted at Serbete Reef. Explore Adonara Island to find the allusive Rhinopias or perhaps we will come across weedy and paddle-flap scorpion fish. At Pura Island, we may be lucky enough to find whales, dolphins or even mola-mola. Are small critters more to your interest? The sandy slopes of Tanjung Waiwowan is the perfect environment for different kinds of ghost pipefish including the very rare Halemeda ghost pipefish. Wunderpus and blue ring octopus have been spotted here before! During the night dive here, we can look out for juvenile brown-banded bamboo sharks, Helmut flying gurnards and frogfish crawling around the darkened site.

Other amenities such as first-rate library with an excellent collection of books on the local area and marine life or movies to watch in the lounge area for those with an individual DVD player, in the privacy of your own cabin.

Accomodation:

The Arenui has been designed to host a maximum of 16 passengers in 8 spacious cabins. All cabins are luxuriously furnished in a sophisticated and tasteful manner. The cabins’ individual themes and styles were inspired by handicrafts from each of the Indonesian provinces. Each cabin has a private en-suite bathroom and individual air conditioning. The Arenui can be your private sanctuary and second home, but one located amidst a constantly changing tropical landscape!

Dining:

Our food is plentiful, fresh, and centered on local and flown-in ingredients. Our internationally trained chefs add their own touch of magic, drawing inspiration from local and international cuisine. In addition to mouth-watering buffet spreads, we also offer a-la-carte choices with daily menu changes. Even lovers of fine dining are sure to discover new taste experiences.
