Join the MV Emperor Serenity for world-class diving in the Maldives. The stylish and contemporary liveaboard easily accommodates 26 guests in 13 cabins. On the lower deck are 8 double-bed cabins. The main and upper decks each have 2 suites with a king-size bed, a single bed, and stunning ocean views. Each stateroom has individually controlled AC, private en-suite bathrooms, storage space, and charging ports.

On the main deck is a large indoor air-conditioned salon with a TV and entertainment system that leads onto the outdoor terrace and lounge area. The indoor dining room serves buffet-style meals with various local and international dishes to suit everyone. The large sun deck has a partially covered area and plenty of loungers for everyone.

Scuba diving with the M/V Emperor Serenity takes place from the large, fully equipped diving Dhoni, giving you more space onboard and getting you to the perfect dive spot. Nitrox is FREE, and the 4 professional dive guides and 13 experienced and friendly boat crew of the Emperor Serenity will be on hand to help you to create a memorable Maldives dive vacation. Itineraries are usually 7-nights long and explore the 'Best of the Maldives,' which includes stops at Rasdhoo Atoll, North and South Ari, and North and South Male Atolls for the chance to dive with big fish such as sharks and manta, as well as turtles, morays and the abundant macro life.

Trips aboard Emperor liveaboards include all port and park fees, free Nitrox, and even complimentary wine, while you will never be charged extra for itinerary or fuel surcharges. What you see is what you pay.

Great dive sites and communication with the guests. The cabins were nice and food was the best I have had on 7 Liveaboard experiences. If looking for a Dive Boat in the Maldives, I would recommend this one.

It was a super excellent liveaboard trip !
Elegant Manta rays were flying over just on my head, Gorgeous whitetip reef sharks were passing by just next to me, Very cute egle rays were flying like a bird in the sky, Whalesharks were on surface and swimming around, There were all kinds of marine life from giant to very small tiny size underwater. On the surface always the comfortable boat and crew were waiting for us with good meals and drinks. It was the best liveaboard trip ever in my entire diving life!

Of course, the first best thing was good divings with good dive guides. On top of that, boat and cabin were much comfortable than I had expected.All crew service and food were very nice.

Amazing experience. The boat itself was nearly as good as the diving (and that's saying something!)!!
Diving with manta rays, a lifelong dream!

The diving (spectacular underwater experience, sharks, mantas, turtles, beautiful coral, and staggering schools of fish). The comfort/luxury - what better way to explore nearly the whole of the Maldives! The boat itself - great staff, great food, all we needed!
