Every experience in EMPEROR SERENITY was perfect!
Everything was sooooo good! Guides including crew were so friendly and kind. Boats are clean & well maintained. The variety of food was also awesome. The only one thing i want to say is that, I m not the vegan, but i think the food was limited for vegan. I will be back!

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!

Great experience!
The experience on the Serenity was spectacular, with a spacious, modern boat with large and comfortable rooms. The food program is varied and of high quality. Dining on the island is a plus. Maldives is a region with waters with high visibility and a biological diversity like few (mantas, dolphins, sharks, shoals, turtle, shipwreck, macro).Your guides (Anna Tao, Dani, Hammu, Salam) are distinguished and with a very good interaction with the divers. On this trip, many guests were non-divers (snorkelers), with a coexistence and action combined with the natural and gentle route. Good value for money

From arrival to farewell, everything was perfectly planned and organized. Clean ship, clean rooms, high quality diving equipment. Dive guides are extremely hard at work and have given us unparalleled memories. The marine diversity is incomparable in the Maldives. Although it was our second time diving in the Maldives, it was again a wonderful experience with great new experiences.

Scuba Christmas trip
Diving: the briefings were very thorough and fun, the dive sites were well-chosen and delivered virtually all marine life we hoped to see. Transfer from the main boat to the dhoni to go diving was very smooth with easy access to the dive sites. Our dive guide was professional and respected our wishes and experience level, though a bit shy. Boat & cabin: the boat was fairly new so certainly in excellent state. Maintenance and cleanliness was better than we experienced on a previous liveaboard trip. The cabin size is good, the bathroom is spacious and homely. Food: as my wife is Malaysian, she is very critical of food but felt the food on this trip was "amazing". The cooks managed to prepare lots of delicious food with plenty variety. They made a birthday cake for me on the first night without us having requested it. The BBQ on the beach, Christmas dinner, Maldivian night dinner and so on, were all superb. Overall, the level of customer service was exquisite, the crew really went out of their way to make the trip as enjoyable as it could be. Highly recommended!

A wonderful trip on the Emperor Serenity
We had a liveaboard with the Emperor Sererenity for a week in Maldives. Our room was super clean and it was tidied after every single dive. All of the crew were very kind and helped us all the time. Our dive guides Lexie and Bruno were super professional. Whenever we faced small problems in our dives, they always explained to us what we needed to do in that situation after that dive. It was so helpful to improve our diving skills! We will definetly go back and join this company with lovely guides and crew. Hyojin Kim, Zafer Erdim İnal
