Description
The KLM Sunshine is a so-called Pinisi, a traditional Indonesian wooden ship type. The abbreviation KLM stands for „Kapal Layar Mesin“ (sailingboat with motor). It was built in Bira in southern Sulawesi. The shipbuilders, who all come from the same village, master an art of shipbuilding, which is passed down from generation to generation. Pinisi are traditionally used as fishing and merchant boats, and about 800 of them are still in operation today.
Upper deck. On the upper ceiling there are two double cabins with individually adjustable air conditioning. Each cabin has its own bathroom, shower and toilet. In the spacious Chillout Area guests can relax between dives. Briefings and de-briefings also take place here. Furthermore there is the navigation room, the captain‘s cabin as well as the cruise director‘s cabin on the upper deck. One staircase leads to the restaurant and another to the sun deck. In the restaurant the food is taken, drinks are available. On the sun deck you can enjoy the breaks between the dives and the evenings in the shade or in the sun.
