The Cheng Ho is a long-standing fixture in the Indonesian diving cruise scene. At a length of 35 metres, she is a substantial vessel made from ironwood in traditional Phinisi style, operating Komodo liveaboard trips in and out of Labuan Bajo. The operator knows these waters better than most and they can showcase all the best that the region has to offer.
Cheng Ho accommodates a maximum of 26 guests. You can choose from a variety of cabins consisting of 6 double, 6 twin and 2 single bed cabins. Each of the cabins is well-appointed and comfortable, and they all feature private en-suite bathrooms.
There is a roomy saloon and dining area as well as a separate cinema room! The saloon also has the entertainment facilities you might expect including TV, DVD player, board games, reading library and photo and video editing facility. There is also an outdoor lounge area with a jacuzzi and lazy beds, for those that prefer to unwind in the open air. Adventure lovers will be delighted by the onboard sea kayaks and banana boat.
Diving activities are conducted from 2 aluminium speedboats. ENOS lost diver tracking is provided free of charge, and nitrox is also available. So not only does a liveaboard trip on the Cheng Ho mean that you will be treating yourself to some top class diving, but you will also have fun between dives in making the most of the facilities of this spacious Phinisi schooner. If you are seeking one of the best liveaboards in Komodo and want to enjoy some of Indonesia's finest scuba diving from the luxury of a large and impressive schooner, check out the mighty Cheng Ho.
