Raja Ampat Luxury Availability 2026 & 2027 — Open Dates & Custom Itineraries

TL;DR: We operate year-round across 2026 and 2027. Our fleet operates 48 weeks annually with carefully timed maintenance windows. Peak season (May–October) books 90+ days in advance; shoulder seasons offer 30–60 day flexibility. Minimum 4-day voyages; custom expeditions up to 14 days available. Juara Holding Group reserves 15% of capacity for last-minute bookings.

Our 2026 and 2027 calendars are built around optimal dive conditions, marine migration patterns, and monsoon forecasting. We don’t force guests into predetermined itineraries—each voyage is customized around availability, guest interests, and real-time environmental data. Captain Deddy’s decades of experience mean we adapt our routes as conditions unfold.
