From the moment we stepped on board Ananda, the hospitality and welcome we received from Max, Nanna, and their team was fabulous. Ananda deserves a mention all of her own – what a beauty, just stunning. Komodo Park too exceeded our expectations; pink sand beaches with turquoise water, big skies viewed from secluded beaches. We saw dragons, dolphins, deer, boar, and on the reefs the snorkelling is world class. The kids felt safe with our hosts when looking for mantas, or being dragged behind the speedboat on a donut! We would love to return, not least for one of Nanna’s awesome feasts.

Dear Nana&Max
Louise and I wish to thank you again for the marvellous time spent with you and Nana aboard the Ananda.
The return was busy thus the delay in conveying you our thanks. Most important they are very sincere. 
Over and above the pirate adventure on board, we appreciated your company and you made our stay memorable. They say that the proof is in the details and it is much so about our cruise on Ananda.
You went out of your way to cater to our desires such as raising the sails even in high winds, changing routes to find mantas, and even after we left, you provided your driver to take us to immigration, waiting for us and enabling us to catch our next flight at the last minute. 
Also a word about precious Nana. We found her cooking talents, but also a wonderful human being. Good moments at diner time while exchanging recipes with Louise. 
When we arrived on board, to us you were captain and crew waiting to be discovered. As we left, after only 4 days, we felt we would miss you like old friends. This says it all.

Enjoy every moment and may 2020 be the best year for you.
Louise and Michel

We wish to thank you again for five wonderful days our family had the pleasure to spend aboard Ananda over Christmas. You and your crew did really everything to turn our cruise through Komodo national park into a truly unforgettable experience. The Ananda is a fantastic ship to spend your holidays on, it is extremely well-kept, and the attention given to details is remarkable. Needless to say that diving in Komodo is just amazing, and you took us to spectacular places with a variety of under water wildlife difficult to find anywhere else. Also our excursions to remote sandbanks and islands were wonderful experiences. Throughout our trip we were in extremely capable and diligent hands. And a special word of thanks to Nana whose cooking is not only delicious but is also making the cordial atmosphere aboard Ananda unique.

Thank you again for wonderful holidays!

We had an amazing turn through Komodo National Park with everything we could imagine and more. We went scuba diving and snorkeling, saw many fancy fish, giant mantas, sharks, turtles, Komodo warans, dolphins …
The food was excellent, as we eat vegan, the crew prepared excellent vegan dishes from local ingredients.
It was the perfect off-time from all the busy daily tasks from the very first minute.
A great ship with a great crew! Thank you!?
