Excellent liveaboard.
Excellent boat. Very attentive to diver needs. Fantastic range and amount of food. Excellent dive briefings for each dive site. Diving was great but challenging currents at times and generally below 20m.

- Food was excellent. Management of the diving and five deck was really excellent. Very attentive to our needs and sorted all the equipment each time and lovely clean towels after every dive. Tenders were well organised, easy to get on and off, very helpful staff, always smiling.

Great experience
We were satisfied and happy that we chose Mandarin Queen 9 for our first liveaboard. There were movies and games available in-between dives and at night after dives to pass time. Food was great. Free flow snacks and drinks. Alcohol was available onboard and affordable. Crew was experienced and great and always made sure we were comfortable. Dive conditions were not the best but that’s not something that can be controlled but was still good!

Unforgettable Diving Experience with Mandarin Queen 9
We had an incredible time aboard the Mandarin Queen 9, exploring the stunning dive sites of the North Andaman Sea over four days. With 15 dives in total, we were fortunate to have fantastic weather, excellent visibility, and mild currents, making each dive truly spectacular. The crew was outstanding—friendly, professional, and always ensuring our safety and comfort. Everything was well-organized, yet the schedule never felt rushed. With four dives a day, we still had plenty of time to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The food was exceptional - plentiful, fresh, and delicious, with a great variety of salads, fruits, and hot dishes daily. My friend, who is vegetarian, was especially impressed by the care taken to prepare separate, equally delicious meals for her. The boat itself was spacious and well-equipped, all en-suite rooms, offering a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A special shoutout to Picnic, the manager, whose dedication and hospitality truly made our trip even more memorable. Thank you to the entire Mandarin Queen 9 team for an amazing experience—we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for any diving enthusiast.

The best choice for North Andaman!
It was our first liveaboard experience and we loved Mandarin Queen team and we are sure that we did a really nice choice by choosing them. Everything was very comfortable and the team was just amazing! We have been diving for many years and our dive guide, Toky, was the most experienced and relaxed guy we have ever seen. The rooms and decks were super comfortable and there were super delicious 4 -5 courses food everyday. The staff prepared all the equipment for us, we just wore them and jumped into the water. I highly recommend Mandarin Queen 9. Special thanks to Toky, Picknik and all the staff on board.

A wonderful experience made even better by an exceptional crew
The trip with the Mandarin Queen to the North Andaman Sea was spectacular. The boat itself is very new, well made, and full of amenities that make the experience on board super smooth and very enjoyable. The cabins were large with private bathrooms and aircon at all times. The crew made sure that we were cared for and entertained at all times, from washing our dive towels, cooking great meals and snacks and beating us at Mario Kart. Due to choppy seas we could not spend the planned 4 dives of the 3rd day at Richelieu Rock, but the Manager PicNic made sure that we got some great other dive spots and so we still got some amazing dives done. The crew also took photos of all divers underwater with professional photo gear so that everyone gets some pictures to take home. All in all, it was a truly great experience and we would recommend it 10/10!

This is a perfect liveaboard trip!
This is my third time on a liveaboard! Second time to Similan! It was also the most amazing of the four! The boat is new, the environment is really nice and reasonable! Everyone can find their own space on the boat, the room is nice and clean! And they are all equipped with TVs, and when there is no signal, there are also intimate movies prepared to make it less boring! Every area was well cleaned by the crew! Everyone is friendly and caring! The second is the food on board! You can eat five meals a day and you don't have to repeat them! I can feel that everyone is preparing food very carefully, as well as hot pot, barbecue, BBQ! It really amazed me! I also saw that the manager of the boat, PicNic, was very careful in his operation, taking into account the feelings of every diver! In short, these days I am hungry to get on the boat and eat to get off the boat. Even started to miss the food on board! In addition, each dive guide is conscientious and responsible, and will take amazing diving photos for everyone!! It was a very satisfying trip! We expect to be back in March or April next year! Finally, thank you to everyone who has worked board!
