Experiential liveaboard

After a warm welcome on the boat, we were pampered all week on board. We had an upper deck cabin. This was cleaned regularly and decorated with a lot of imagination. Food was always fresh, plentiful and tasty. The whole crew was very attentive and helped unobtrusively to put on and take off the equipment. Took the heavy equipment from us when we returned to the boat. The warm outdoor shower was great. We were traveling with a private dive guide we would do it again. The dive briefings were easy to understand for everyone. In general, a lot of emphasis was placed on safety in all areas. The dive sites were chosen carefully so that we were not on site with 10 other boats. Most of the time we were diving alone. Experienced divers were also offered to explore the underwater world in the buddy team. After diving there was enough space to recover. To be able to use this everyone got their own Sim-karte.Am last evening we had a barbecue on deck and ate outside on the sea under the stars. But the crew decorated the area.A nice experience.Divers from different countries were on board, we all had a great time.I would book the Emperor Elite again.

Highly recommended! I would struggle to find anything that was sub-standard.

I really could not fault the crew and the quality of the trip. To a man, the crew were outstanding and I was really impressed with how seriously and thoroughly safety was always the primary concern. It was very reassuring.

Throughout pleasant experience

Great experience on board Elite. On-time pickup and transfers. Great crew, good communication throughout the whole journey. Superb meals and complimentary soft drinks and hot drinks were provided. All the staff seemed to be very safety minded: Captain reacting to adverse weather and changing the itinerary on short notice, thorough boat briefing was given, cautious policy regarding charging of devices was followed and all the dive briefings were very clear. Filling of scuba tanks was quick, with the proper Nitrox level and all the staff was helpful on the dive deck. The dives provided by Guide Mostafa were really well conducted and I always had a good time in the water.

Recommended for
Friendly, helpful and motivated staff. Great food and beverages provided on board. Focus on boat and dive safety.

Amazing crew who truly made us feel at home

We did the South and St. Johns tour with Emperor. Overall we really enjoyed the trip. The crew was absolutely amazing. They were very attentive and welcoming to everyone on the boat. They truly made us feel at home. Unfortunately the quality of the corals/reefs was not what we had expected. From my understanding, and experiences shared by guests who enjoyed the same trip before, the quality of the corals has drastically decreased since last year. Nevertheless, there were some true highlights. St. Johns caves and Claudia Reef were stunning. Furthermore we loved diving at Gotaa Sharm. Overall the guides listened to our wishes, but don't expect them to point out a lot underwater. If you like to go unguided as a buddy pair or group they allow and promote this at certain dive sites. Overall we really enjoyed our trip, the crew on board and our stay with Emperor. We will probably join another trip in the future, but we'll join during high season and/or on of the trips in the North.
