Good value for money
This was my first liveaboard experience and had a really good experience with Emperor Voyager. The boat was clean and tidy, crews are friendly and I did feel like home for the entire stay. We've had been brief in detailed for every dive and my dive guide took really good care of us, despite we are rather less experienced in diving. It's very good value for money! And I would definitely recommend to other people and would like to come back to the same boat next time.

A perfect week, thrilling dives, great people on board and lots of memories made
From pick up to take off, everything was well organised. Food was amazing and individualised, Eventhough the Maldives lack coral in some spots, the pelagics are still there and there is nothing better than starting the morning in a cloud of grey reef sharks :)

Amazing
It was an excellent experience to do a trip with the Emperor Voyager. The diving was great and it was supported by excellent service levels. We spotted 3 spieces of sharks, mantas, eagle rays, sting rays, turtles and many many other interesting fish. The guides took personal interest in educating about the environment, fish life and improvement of diving skills. One notable focus area for the dive guides was sustainable diving with minimum impact to coral and sea life which was very good. We had less than 20 dives at the start of the trip and the dive guides helped us improve our diving skills considerably. We will definitely recommend a dive trip with the emperor group liveaboard specifically the Emperor voyager for all diving enthusiasts

a magic can come true :-)
It was my second time when I decided to choose EMPEROR as a liveboard diving in Maldives. Everything was really perfect, I cannot find ANY one aspect which I could blame the organizer. The dive equipment which I rented was in very good condition, briefings were precise, all arrangements on time. Clean and comfort boat, additional donghi to allow us to get to diving spot quickly. Diving sites were very carefully selected considering weather conditions etc. Diving at manta's cleaning stations were fabulous, hooking on the edges of blue watching sharks passing by were thrilling. Awesome time worth of every penny I paid. Thank you !!!!!!!

Diving with guides with indepth local dive site knowledge makes all the difference!
Vessel with soul (feels like a proper boat!) and unparalelled local dives site knowledge from guides with 15 + years of diving in Maldives made this one of the best liveaboard trips thus far (after 20+). also really good prize compared to other operators. food some of the freshest and well cooked on any trip thus far, and the local knowledge made this a real 'diving for serious divers' trip. Also smiling and atentive crew that made it all a joy!

Nice first live aboard
- our room was not comfortable being directly by the generator being really loud - 6 divers to a single dive guide felt like too big groups, this resulted in a mixed diving experience - some of the dive sites were really beautiful and the crew were clearly trying their best - the hang out areas were comfortable
