Thank you for your interest in our upcoming trip to the Banda Sea! This trip will be our most expensive and luxurious trip we ever offered! We’ve already offered several trips to the Maldives, Bali/Komodo and Raja Ampat in the Indian Ocean. This trip will take us a bit more East, covering a newer area for exploration beginning in Ambon and returning to Ambon. Because this area of the world is quite a distance for us, most of the itineraries offered are usually 10-14 nights, however, from past experience, most of my clients prefer a 7 night trip and this itinerary was one of the only one’s available.
At the present time, the below are some of the specifics of the trip. Prices/offerings are subject to change last minute without notice.
Included in the pricing:
Full board on All Star Velocean in double occupancy private suites 2-3 day dives and 1 night dive per day Dive guides, tanks and weights/belts
Nitrox
30-minute welcome massage
Wi-Fi Airport/Hotel to dock transfers in port of call Coffee, tea, juices, sodas
Does not include :
Tip for Crew
Permit Fees-250.00 per person payable on board.
Scuba gear, rental available
Beer and wine is available for purchase on board
Cabin pricing:
$5,520 Platinum Ocean Suite (two suites available, double occupancy)
$4,800 Elite Ocean Suite (six suites available, double occupancy) $5,280.00 Signature Single Suite (two suites available, since occupancy)
A non refundable deposit of $500.00 will be required In order to reserve your spot. I will offer a staggered payment schedule beginning a year from our departure date. Checks can be made out to Orbit Marine, 3273 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport, CT. 06605. If you prefer to make payments via credit card, a 3.5% service charge will be added. We always highly suggest trip cancellation insurance in case you think you may have to cancel, as once you're deposited, you can be liable for the full price of the trip, depending upon how many days/months prior to departure you cancel.
I will have more information on the boat and itinerary as soon as the boat is launched and in full operation. Although this is a high cost, high end trip, I wouldn’t doubt this trip will be a sell out. So, please give it some consideration if you’re looking for a luxurious dive trip to one of the most desirable dive destinations in the world!
Again, thank you for your interest in this trip! If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 203-333-3483 or e mail me at orbitdive@aol.com.
