About Aqua Blu

Aqua Blu is a small luxury expedition yacht operating in East Indonesia, including the Banda Sea and Coral Triangle. Originally built in 1968 as the Royal Navy survey vessel HMS Beagle, it was converted and extensively refurbished before entering expedition service in 2019. The five-deck vessel carries up to 30 guests in 15 individually designed cabins, supported by an equal-sized crew. Its intimate scale, long-range capability, stabilizers, and spacious indoor and outdoor social areas suit adventurous coastal voyages rather than conventional large-ship cruising.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

A long-range ocean-explorer yacht with naval heritage, five decks, stabilizers, and a small-group expedition format in East Indonesia.

Dining

The vessel offers indoor and outdoor dining, with cuisine curated by chef Benjamin Cross and influenced by Indonesia’s spice-trade history.

Entertainment

Social spaces include a salon and sun-deck seating designed for relaxed gatherings, cocktails, and evening views rather than large-scale productions.

Staterooms & suites

Aqua Blu has 15 individually designed cabins in Suite A, Suite B, and Deluxe categories. Selected cabins can connect, and designated suites offer triple-occupancy configurations.

For families

The intimate expedition format includes guided shore activities and select triple-accommodation options, but it is not a large family-resort ship with extensive children’s facilities.

Pools, spa & wellness

Outdoor areas and expedition activities support an active, nature-focused experience. The ship also uses Quantum Zero Speed stabilizers for improved comfort while stationary or underway.

Accessibility

The operator does not publish sufficiently detailed accessibility specifications for the vessel; prospective guests should request current boarding and mobility information directly.

Environmental features

The ship holds RINA, SOLAS, and ISM-related safety credentials according to the operator. No detailed current emissions or sustainability program was identified in the reviewed sources.
