Fantastic trip with great crew!
My expectations were far exceeded! The dive guides in particular have adapted very strongly to the needs of the travelers. They were approachable at all times, showed a lot of interest and commitment and made sure that I felt safe and comfortable at all times. The briefings were very informative and carefully prepared. On some evenings, additional info sessions about sharks were offered, where I could learn a lot of new things. The dive sites have also been carefully selected - I have never seen so many sharks!! The boat offers a lot of comfort and good opportunities to relax. The crew was great; Very friendly and helpful. I would come back anytime:) 100/10!

Great week of exciting diving on a spanking new, sparkling clean and luxurious boat
I've been on many liveaboard boats and - when it comes to quality of service and the class of the boat this one was the best. The route covered all the highlights including manta cleaning stations, snorkeling with whale sharks, diving in channels filled with sharks and rays, beautiful coral gardens (the biggest surprise, as I had the presumption that the coral is all dead in the Maldives). Great selection of food, additional attractions like visits to uninhabited islands and fantastic atmosphere made me decide to stay with Emperor for another, unplanned week!
