LiveAboard.com Arvostelua 

I booked a boat tour around the Greek islands for this summer because it was clearly advertised on their website with a 50% discount from the original price. That discount was the main reason I chose it. However, it appears to be not entirely true.They come back asking for full price because apparently the operator for this trip informed them that the 50% siscount is no longer applicable.Not sure who is to blame - Live Aboard or the tour operator, perhaps both.
This feels like classic false marketing — advertising attractive discounts to get customers in, then changing the terms later.

In my view, this is unreliable and deceptive practice. I would not trust this company/Live Aboard with my travel plans

We did the 10day cruise with Mikumba Diving - Jelajahi Laut around Raja Ampat. It was amazing! The crew are always at your service to help in any way possible. Safety is first. The boat is kept clean at all times. The diving was spectacular. There were Island excursions that were fun too! You will not go hungry, there are plenty of meals being served by a wonderful chef. (You'd think you were at a 5 star restaurant.) Abdaa was wonderful as cruise director and our dive guide Howe took the best care of my husband and I. This was a dream vacation I will never forget. LiveAboard.com was most helpful booking and very prompt with any questions we had before the trip. Thanks and blessings to all the crew and everyone who assisted at LiveAboard.com.

vol vers les maldives du 6 mars annulé, donc croisiére annulé et aucun geste commerciale de la part de liveabord ni du croisiériste Emperor. perte sèche 2400 euros bien qu'ils ne soit pas responsable de se faite du à la guerre en Iran, un geste aurait été le bienvenu.

Cayman Islands Liveaboard Feb 2026
We had a fabulous week aboard the Cayman Aggressor IV with Captain Josh & 2nd Captain Sarah & their fabulous crew Rodel, Mili, Chelsea, Braven & David! The liveaboard is in excellent condition…our room was great, we never felt crowded & had plenty of room on the dive deck as well as space to hang out and relax on the top deck between dives. Chef Chelsea was hard at work all week preparing amazing food and snacks and we had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. We had beautiful weather and we were able to dive all 3 islands. We had such a fun group & met so many nice people traveling from all over & just had a really nice time together between diving, sharing meals and hanging out. Definitely enjoyed the warm showers on the dive deck and hot towels between dives and hot chocolate with Baileys after our night dives….oh, in the hot tub! Lots of ocean life on our dives and Barry the Barracuda like to hang out under the boat and mess with us on our night dives! Highly recommend! We can’t wait to book our next adventure!

Boat Crew were all so amazing!. Diving on all 3 Cayman Islands. Really fun group of divers from all over. We all got along so well & it really made for a wonderful week together!.

We had such a great time on the Gentle Giant! The crew made this journey unforgettable 🤩 The diving spots were some of the best ones I've ever seen 🐟 The gear and general safety were good 👍 The food was delicious and abundant. I didn't want to leave this dream ship! 🥲

My experience with LiveAboard was extremely disappointing and frustrating.
From the very beginning, there was a lack of clarity and transparency. We specifically asked whether the diving equipment was included in the package, and we were clearly told that it was. Now, after the booking has been finalized, they claim that the person who responded made a “human error” and that the equipment is not included after all. This is unacceptable. We are talking about a diving trip — equipment is not a minor detail.
According to the program they sent us, the first day was supposed to be for trying the equipment and doing a check dive. Instead, we spent the entire day, from 9:00 a.m. until around 7:00 a.m. the following morning, stuck in the port of Malé doing absolutely nothing. No check dive, no equipment fitting, nothing at all. On top of that, the noise from construction and boats was unbearable. It was a terrible start to what was supposed to be a dream trip.
Customer support is also extremely poor. They are responsive and attentive right up until the booking is completed. Once the payment is made, they disappear. During the cruise and after the trip, the assistance is practically nonexistent. We felt completely unsupported.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience: unclear information, contradictory statements, a program that was not respected, and miserable customer service. I would not recommend booking through this platform.

J’ai réservé une croisière en Égypte qui était confirmée depuis plus de deux mois avant le départ. Après plusieurs échanges au cours desquels on m’a demandé les détails de mon vol ainsi que le matériel à louer, le voyage a finalement été annulé seulement deux semaines avant le départ.

Aucune excuse ne m’a été présentée. Les alternatives proposées ne concernaient pas la même destination et aucun dédommagement ne m’a été offert, pas même un remboursement pour le vol déjà réservé.

Je suis extrêmement déçu(e) par ce manque de professionnalisme et de considération envers les clients

Dives were faboulus. Crew very kind and hepfull.Boat litlle bit old and need some maintenance.

I have been using the services of LiveAboard.com for many years. I like the ease with which reservations can be made, payment, and liveaboard descriptions online. I also like the helpful comments they send periodically as the date of the trip approaches.

My experience with Liveaboard was truly excellent. Traveling alone, I had tons of questions and spent a long time searching for the perfect option that fit my style and travel plans. The customer support was always outstanding—they responded quickly to all my questions and provided invaluable guidance in choosing the best travel option, which turned out to be perfect (a boat in the Maldives). I felt supported even after booking. The user dashboard is very clear, with all the necessary information about the boat, payment, and extras readily available. I highly recommend Liveaboard and will definitely book my next trip with them!

Esperienza fantastica, sia dal punto di vista dell'assistenza fornita dal portale online sia dal punto di vista imbarcazione e personale.
Online sono sempre stati tutti molto disponibili e gentili per rispondere a qualsiasi mia domanda o per qualsiasi problema.

I really like scuba diving and travel, then I found the liveaboards trips and it is my favourite way of mix my both passions. In liveaboards.com I found a site where I can find my next destination and pick the boat, the cabin and the schedule that fits better to me. It is an easy and friendly way to book the scuba trip.

Super Service, sowohl schriftlich als auch telefonisch. Super nett und immer hilfreich. Würde nur hier meine Liveaboards buchen:

Fast reaction.
Clear communication.
Helpful operators.

They started well - being responsive and helpful, but that changed as soon as we'd booked when they started telling us there were extra fees, even insisting they were a 'legal requirement (turned out to be nonsense).

The trip they sold us was a nightmare, and when we tried to leave an honest review they refused to publish it, which indicates that their review system has no veracity whatsoever - clearly all they care about is taking your money and they're willing to lie to do it.

Liveaboard.com is my go-to reference whenever I want to book a scuba diving liveaboard. So far, I’ve done four trips through them and I’ve never been disappointed. For any need, the service provided is prompt and efficient; the website is well structured and allows me, in just a few minutes, to find the liveaboard that best suits me, anywhere in the world.

Ich habe bereits mehrere LiveAboard Reisen gebucht- diesmal ging es nach Hurghada, Ägypten und erneut lief alles absolut einwandfrei.
Super schnelle Kommunikation und top Service.

Reise vom Veranstalter storniert.
5200$ sollen nicht zurück Erstattet werden!

Ich habe über die Seite eine Reise gebucht, welche Ende Januar 2026 stattfinden sollte. Es ist alles bezahlt und das Geld auch bei liveaboard angekommen. Die Reise wurde bestätigt und mir schon Unterlagen zugeschickt. Daraufhin hab ich natürlich Flüge gebucht Tauchversicherung abgeschlossen etc.
Dann auf einmal Ende Dezember 2025, ein Monat vor Reisebeginn, bekomme ich eine Mail: "Die Reise wurde vom Veranstalter storniert, es finden keine Reisen des Veranstalters statt im Januar" (komisch das die offizielle Seite des Bootes was anderes sagt).
Und ab dem Moment war alles nur noch eine absolute Frechheit!
Zuerst wurde mir ein anderes Schiff angeboten, leider war nicht direkt klar, ob das Schiff schnorchler Forscher oder allgemein nicht Taucher an Board hat, (dies würde natürlich dem Erlebnis schaden, im Vergleich zu einem Boot rein belegt von Tauchern) noch bevor ich eine Antwort auf meine Fragen bekam, hieß es das Schiff sei jetzt leider doch schon ausgebucht.
Da es absolut nicht möglich ist für mich meine Urlaub mal eben so zu verschieben, gäbe es keine Alternativen mehr.
Nun gut, jetzt würde ich sagen, Geld zurück, doof gelaufen, kann passieren...
Allerdings kommt jetzt noch dir Krönung, das Geld wird mit aktuell nicht zurück gezahlt. Ich könne einem Gutschein haben über die Reisesumme und diesen auf der Seite frei einlösen ??? What ?
Außerdem wurde mir ein Schreiben für die Versicherung geschickt, was diese so auf keinen Fall akzeptieren würde (hab ich nicht eingereicht).
Hier wird also versucht, das ich entschädigt werde von meiner Versicherung und die Seite schön das von mir bezahlten Geld behalten kann.
Absolute Frechheit und meiner Meinung nach auch rechtswidrig.
Jetzt habe ich einen Anwalt eingeschaltet, der sich der Sache annehmen wird.
Das ist alles andere als ein Traumurlaub und ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, diese Seite zu meiden !!!

They made all the process easy.

All the team is very kind and helpfull and they make your life easier in every single step. I will contact them again if I do another leveaboard. For sure.

all arrangements made flawless! used Livaboard for three times already and will be again! thanks for a good work !
