Boat Cabins & Layout
The Mutiara Laut welcomes a maximum of 14 guests on-board each voyage. The very small number of guests on-board such a large ship promises a rare sense of privacy on the cruise as well as uncrowded scuba diving. Indeed, with 7 double-occupancy cabins located mostly on the lower deck, that leaves plenty of space for social areas across the Mutiara Laut. More specifically, there are 6 cabins on the lower deck, each with air-conditioning and a private en-suite bathroom. Plus, the main deck is home to a master suite, which is even more spacious than the regular room and open on a semi-private deck.
