Lovely people and dive sites
Lovely experience overall! The staff truly makes a difference. Everyone was very friendly, and Brian (the manager) is extremely knowledgeable of the sites and marine life (which actually makes a difference to the experience). The food offered was also excellent (although I would prefer more local instead of international options).

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 :)

Everything was perfect!
A big thank you to the whole team for these 7 days. I was unfortunately sick at the beginning of the trip so I couldn't do the first dives. They took care of me. The food was delicious. The dives with the manta rays were amazing. We were lucky enough to see 2 whalesharks. I recommend.

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 !!!!!!!

Every time again
The liveaboard was very interesting, memorable and full of impressive experiences. The entire crew was friendly, attentive and helpful at all times, so that you felt completely comfortable. The cuisine is also particularly noteworthy – the food was very tasty throughout.On New Year's Eve, a beautiful dinner was organized, accompanied by dancing and a joyful celebration that made the evening very special.Our diving group was very pleasant from the beginning and grew together more and more over the course of the safari. The diving spots were varied and exciting. We could see almost everything a diver's heart desires: turtles, sharks and manta rays. Only the whale shark unfortunately did not show up this time.Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I can recommend at any time.

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

Lots of great memories
Diving: very good instructions at the beginning and all dive briefings. No gloves policy shows how that boat company cares about environment - other boats should take it as a positive example. Dive instructor challenged my diving group to the limits but was great in the end (therefore recommend you should be a really experienced diver). Boat: unfortunatelly mold in the bathroom (wooden door), little but cute rooms, great outdoor eating and common area. Good Security instructions Amazing flashlight at the back of the boat, therefore whale shark and mantas during nights. Food: very good. Wine menu could be better but of course personal opinion.

My BEST liveaboard experience till date
This trip was not just another dive trip where we see the fish and corals and come back. The dive instructors on board - Chris, Daniella and Stina, are all extremely experienced and passionate divers. We learnt not only diving discipline from them, but also a sense of responsibility towards the underwater life. Dive briefings have never been so much fun before as they were on this trip, thanks to Chris. Needless to say, Maldives offers an amazing view of the fish and corals. The staff on board was excellent to say the least. Food was fabulous. Me being an Indian vegetarian, they ensured my friends and I got enough choice of food, unlike other liveaboards where we normally get just one vegetarian dish. Overall a 5 out of 5 experience on Emperor Voyager. Kudos to the entire team for giving us an amazing week and teachings for life.
