Everything published on Halmahera Luxury Cruise goes out under one name: the Halmahera Luxury Cruise Editorial Desk. That is a working group, not a person, and the page you are reading now exists to say so plainly rather than to introduce anybody.

Where this site concentrates

The material here is organised around boat and yacht charters, diving and snorkelling trips, what things actually cost and how itineraries are put together. Those are the subjects we work in often enough to keep current, and we would rather keep that list short than pad it.

Checked, and not yet checked

Official requirements shift often enough that any page can age badly between visits. So we write the distinction into the text — confirmed against an official source, or not yet confirmed — and we would rather leave a visible gap than fill it with a guess.

No credentials, and why

No one here is presented as an expert, a licence holder or a veteran of anything, since we have no records to show for such descriptions. What we can offer is background reading. Decisions that turn on your own case belong with the body that will decide them.

If a page no longer matches what you were told officially, let us know and we will change it. You can reach the desk through our contact page.
