1st experience that sets the bar very high
We traveled aboard L'Emperor Voyager. The staff -cooks, bartender, dive master,...- are very welcoming, caring and professional. We lacked nothing. The boat offers several relaxation areas and the rooms are comfortable. The dives offered us a beautiful show. We were delighted with this experience and recommend the Emperor and his team.

Wonderful experience
Seeing the most beautiful, vibrant coral I have ever seen. The two mantas at the cleaning station. Swimming next to a whale shark for 15 minutes. The entire crew was informative and welcoming, the food was delicious and the whale shark they made in the sand was unbelievable.

Diving better than my dreams
From the arrival at the airport to the moment we stepped foot back at Male the crew was fantastically helpful. Voyager is kept exceptionally clean and is very well maintained. The dive guides were incredibly, very knowledgeable and engaged, adjusting the schedule to the groups interests and desires, and even went out of their way to find sites where diving and snorkeling were possible after I had a severe reverse block and couldn't dive. The food was absolutely incredible, with a good variety of cuisines. I can't wait to come back and spend another week with Chris and the Voyager!

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 !!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Awesome Dive Trip in the Maldives!!
I was with Emperor Voyager for the Christmas week. From the time I arrived in Male till the time I got on to my next LOB, the process has been smooth. Emperor being a foreign-owned LOB/Dive Company, is structured, well-organized and have a team of hardworking and awesome Staff… from the Operation Manager, Dive Guides, Captain to the folks who help you up to the dhoni after each dive, the Chef & bar man to the ones who clean your room (always a clean room after your second morning dive), I would consider this a dive paradise on earth. I am not sure if I would pay a little extra for a more luxurious LOB as Emperor Voyager is itself a luxury with a very reasonable price! The itineraries were pretty standard as of any other LOBs… South/North Male, Vaavu and South/North Ari Atoll but the difference will be the dive sites. I had a number of “best” in this trip… countless of reef sharks (big fat ones!), nurse sharks, close encounter (almost face to face) with the Manta rays, beautiful overhangs and varieties of fishes. My most memorable Christmas Eve is with Emperor Voyager when we had the Mantas loitering around our boat the whole night (because the crew hung the spotlight to attract them); not to mention nurse sharks too!!! :) I would highly recommend Emperor Voyager if you are looking for an unforgettable dive trip! Well done, Bernie & his team of dedicated and customer-oriented Staff! Special mention about Liveaboard.com – I booked 2 of my dive trips with them and I applaud their customer service – from the time I pressed the button to book the trip up to prior my departure, the Staff will ensure I stay informed of the copious details. They were very prompt in their email replies and provide the specific answers to your questions (unlike most agents who enjoyed cut-and-paste answers). They are definitely my #1 booking agent for my next dive trip! Special thanks to Nicole and Debbie… Hope to be served by you again next time!

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
