Incredible diving experience with the Emperor Explorer
My overall experience on the Emperor Explorer was simply fantastic. From the first moment I felt completely comfortable. The dive team was exceptionally professional, motivated and at the same time warm, which gave each dive a special touch. The entire crew was attentive, friendly and always helpful – the service on board left nothing to be desired.One of the highlights of the trip is clearly the diverse and breathtaking dives, where we had unforgettable encounters with sharks, manta rays and other sea creatures. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and familiar, and there were many beautiful moments with the other divers – both above and below the water.Another big plus: everything was perfectly organized and there were no hidden costs. This honesty and transparency added value to the experience.All in all, it was an all-round successful trip that I would repeat at any time – absolutely recommended!

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!
