Diving onboard the Komodo Dancer,
Komodo National Park, Indonesia
The Paradise Dancer operates in the Komodo Marine Park and Alor for the 03 months from June to August 2012.
Paradise Dancer is the largest yacht in the Dancer Fleet coming in at 57 meters (188 feet) in length. Constructed out of wood, she is a three masted motor schooner inspired by the majesty of the US Schooners circa 1800.
The interior style is that of a “floating boutique resort” and features high end amenities guests expect of the Dancer Fleet!
All of the state rooms are larger than traditional liveaboard state rooms (at 180 sq. ft. each, more than 60% larger than an average liveaboard cabin) and each cabin has private ensuite facilities and air conditioning. There is also a 470 square foot “Master and Commander Suite ” at the stern of the main deck that features a king size bed, separate sitting area with a sofa, and table with chairs that reminds guests of the “captains quarters” from the schooner design that inspired her.

Itinerary Notes
On disembarkation day, while it is possible to board a late night flight for an international departure that evening, a flight delay on the domestic carrier could cause a guest to miss their international flight. Schedule and equipment changes are possible with the inter-island airlines even after ticketing. We highly recommend an additional overnight in Bali upon the conclusion of the cruise in addition to the purchase of Trip Cancellation / Interruption Insurance so that guests have protection and a backup in case this situation would occur.
The Paradise Dancer will schedule domestic flights and purchase a ticket for each guest as part of their package; however, in doing so, Paradise Dancer is only acting as an agent for the airline and is not responsible for, and can accept no responsibility for, cancellations, delays or problems caused by the air carrier
