With space for up to 20 guests, Freedom III features nine air-conditioned cabins located on the lower deck, each with en-suite bathroom, TV, mini-fridge, and safe. Cabins include two king-bed rooms, six twin cabins, and one quad cabin ideal for families or small groups. Departures are guaranteed with a minimum of just eight divers, making the vessel a practical choice for small parties or private charters.

On board, guests can unwind in spacious communal areas, including a comfortable salon with entertainment system, two sundecks, and shaded lounging spaces. Meals are freshly prepared using local ingredients and served on a full-board basis, with snacks, water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks included.
