Pricing your Indonesia liveaboard adventure
Pricing depends on three things: itinerary length, cabin class and the vessel you choose. For 2027, Indonesian liveaboards run from roughly USD 1,100 to over USD 7,400 per person — and Magika’s own published rates sit at the affordable end of the premium tier.
