SY Diva Andaman
Luxury Thailand liveaboard
Diva Andaman offers luxury liveaboard diving cruises to the Similan Islands and beyond. The classic sailing yacht adds a touch of romance to your Thailand diving cruise.
Enjoy beautifully appointed cabins, delicious Asian and international cuisine and fine wines as you cruise some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. The level of service and the quality of the cabins is the best of all the Similan Island liveaboards.
Diva is a gaff rigged schooner (2 masts). At 35 metres length and taking just 14 guests you are assured of personal service and plenty of space on board.
Island touring, snorkeling and kayaking also form part of a Diva Andaman cruise.
