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).

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.

Best way to experience diving in Maldives!
The overall experience was definitely worth it! Got some great dives in - saw some beautiful marine life like whale shark, manta rays, nurse sharks and small fish and some great corals as well - definitely the best of Maldives. The dive guides and the crew were extremely helpful and took care of everything. 100 percent recommend Emperor Divers liveaboard for diving in Maldives!

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!
