$500 off new Thailand liveaboard trips

From March next year the 115ft steel yacht will begin operating northern and southern routes in the Andaman Sea from Phuket, Thailand.

The fleet liveaboard Star Dancer will operate in Papua New Guinea until November before travelling to Thailand to undergo major refurbishment before relaunch as the 16-passenger Thailand Aggressor.

"Itineraries will include 7- and 14-night charters that will alternate so guests can experience the best of both itineraries in the pristine waters of the Andaman Sea," says the company.

Under the Special Introductory Offer, passengers who book and deposit by August 31 will receive a $500 saving for travel from March 3 to May 29, 2013.

Aggressor Fleet points out that from May to October the Thailand Aggressor will travel the southern route of the Andaman Sea taking in such sites as Shark Point, Anemone Reef and Phi Phi Islands. From November to April, however, the boat will alternate routes every week.

"This will give guests the opportunity of being able to experience the best of both itineraries by travelling the Northern itinerary one week and the Southern itinerary the following week (or visa versa).

"For guests travelling both itineraries, there is one night between charters where they will be provided a free hotel night and transfers in Phuket compliments of the Thailand Aggressor."
