The diving with the ship and crew was outstanding.
The safari was a great holiday. Despite the wind and waves, we went to the Tistlegrom and Abu Nuhas. In addition to the great dives, we were excellently looked after by the guides and crew. I would love to do it again.

Wonderful week in North Egypt
The trip started with a punctual pick up from the hotel. Sea Serpent is very attentive to safety onboard. Cabins are average in space but clean. Food was very good and everyday different. Mahmoud takes care of you as a grandmother! Moustafa was cruise director and dive guide: we has been professional and friendly. We had the most interesting briefings I ever listened to! Crew was always ready to help us. We dove in Ras Mohamed, Tiran and a lot of wrecks, Thistlegorm too. Very colorful reef, a lot of fish. Once we dove with 2 friendly dolphins staying with us for a long time. Overall a wonderful week!

It was a breathtaking and unforgettable experience that I will 🥰 remember for a long time.
This liveaboard was another breathtaking experience for me. I was already on the road with this fleet in September last year, but a larger ship and a different route. The Serena Dreams is a relatively small boat, but that's perfectly fine, so there aren't too many divers with it. The tour was not fully booked and we were a total of 11 guests spread over 2 dive guides, which was an absolute dream. The groups were thus small and manageable. The underwater world simply has a lot to offer and you could take an incredible amount with you. The crew on board gave everything again. Throughout all super friendly and attentive, be it in the service area or on the dive deck. You couldn't look as quickly as someone was there to help. The crew is well-rehearsed and knows what they are doing, which also contributes to safety and a great feeling.I had a cabin on the lower deck and was glad I had the cabin to myself. Space is already tight and the air conditioning was a bit awkwardly placed. Next time just book 😉another category The mattress was quite hard, but these are for me personally, small criticism points. I felt safe and very well looked after and would book a liveaboard with Sea Serpent again at any time. Clear recommendation from my side. Thank you for everything! And keep up the good work so that many other divers can experience unforgettable moments.

Tauchsafari Sea Serpent Serena Dreams - North & Tiran
It was my first liveaboard. 4 dives a day are a challenge. The dive guides did everything they could to make it possible for everyone. But most of them took small breaks in between. Only two have completed the full program.The food on board was very tasty and varied and the team also made it great fun.I felt very comfortable on board the Sea Serpent Serena Dreams.

It is a comfortable ship with an affordable price.
It was my first time on the Red Sea cruise in Egypt, and I was very satisfied with the life on board with a lot of vegetables and meat dishes every day. The guide and crew were also very helpful and we enjoyed a comfortable dive every day. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any big fish on the dive, but it was the most beautiful coral reef I've ever had. There were 18 people on board, and except for the four of us Japanese, they were all Westerners, including Germans. The guide briefed me in polite English, so I managed to understand my poor English skills and enjoyed it.

It was only driven during the day, so that it remained quiet at night.So everyone could relax and enjoy the well-selected dive sites. Highlights were the many well-preserved wrecks. First and foremost, we were alone at the Thistlegorm. Brilliant.

Beautiful dives with a lot of variety (reefs, wrecks and 3 dolphin encounters) - a great experience that I warmly recommend to everyone.
On our 5 day tour to the north (road from Tiran to Dahab, Thistlegorm + other wrecks and back to Hurghada) I had a wonderful stay on board the SS Serena Dreams. A great crew always kept the ship, cabins and equipment in perfect condition. The food was superb and more than adequate. The atmosphere in the group of 16 guests was great, all dives were professionally briefed and guided. Everything was completed by beautiful dives with a lot of variety (reefs, wrecks and 3 dolphin encounters) - a great experience that I warmly recommend to everyone.

Amazing trip on the Northern wrecks and reefs tour!
What amazing diving on the Northern wrecks and reefs tour, I would recommend it to anyone who wants some variety. Gorgeous reefs, great wrecks and the 4 dives on the Thistlegorm including a night dive we simply incredible. The crew are excellent, the cabin and salon staff are excellent and the guides excellent. Would go back again tomorrow.

The crew and guides are amazing.. The food was great, varied and plentiful. This boat only holds 18 divers, so is a little smaller than most. However, great facilities and does not feel at all cramped. Everyone has lots of space on Serena Dreams and you don't have 28 divers in the water all at the same time!.

Excellent diving trip
Every aspect of our trip was just great. The best thing about Serena is that this boat is not so big, around 18 divers. This means that underwater there will be no croud. Food was better than in 5 star hotel - honestly. Crew very helpful and nice. Gas blender (nitrox) all in norm, tanks always ready before dive. We enjoyed high standard of this liveaboard - all new and fresh. Dive guides (instructors) all professional. Rooms clean and tidy. Bed very comfortable which is important !! We go diving safari every year and for sure we will come back to Sea Serpert Fleet. We were also very satisfied with liveaboard.com communication before trip. Overall, around many safari trip we had, this trip was definitely the best! It is worth to pay a little bit more but have superior vacation with this fleet.

Best dive holiday of my life
I recently had the pleasure of spending a dive holiday on the Sea Serpent Serena liveaboard, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was impeccably arranged to ensure a seamless and enjoyable trip. Dive guide Sam was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge of the dive sites was exceptional, and he truly went the extra mile to ensure we experienced the best dive sites at the most optimal times. His enthusiasm and dedication made every dive an adventure. Our host, Mahmoud, was equally outstanding. He managed all the onboard arrangements with perfect precision and was a joy to be around. His friendly demeanor and ability to make everyone smile added a special touch to the trip, making it even more enjoyable. The rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and helpful, always working tirelessly to keep the guests happy and the boat in perfect condition. Their hard work and positive attitudes did not go unnoticed and contributed significantly to the overall experience. This is exactly how a liveaboard should be run. The combination of excellent service, well-maintained facilities, and a dedicated team made this holiday one of the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend anyone considering a dive holiday to choose the Sea Serpent Serena. It’s an experience not to be missed!

A good Egyptian liveaboard
Comparing Egyptian liveaboards, I would say it's good. I find it difficult to get excited about Egyptian boats in comparison to Maldives, Indonesia, Philippines liveaboards. It was clean, well run with lovely crew. Cabin small with limited storage. Bathroom small wetroom style with limited headroom. But good and quick hot water in sink and shower. The bed was rock hard, very uncomfortable for me. Best thing was the crew, everything else was good
