Good value for money in this live on board
Good loop around the Maldives, with many sea creatures spotted despite the weather not being ideal and the seas a little rough while crossing.

Great experience - above and below the water
We had a great week (early October 2025) with Martina as Cruise Director. Dive guides were Agu and Ali. The 3 know the Maldives and the individual dive spots very well and always had the right timing. In addition to many reef fish, we were able to observe schools of rays, eagle rays, manta rays, various sharks and even a whale shark. The Princess Dhonkamana also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights. There was always fresh fish, Italian pasta, homemade bread, cakes & frog's fruit. Very positive and not a matter of course: allergies and intolerances are taken into account by the kitchen team when planning the menu. For our son there was always an extra portion of gluten-free pasta and gluten-free bread. Many thanks to the whole team - we would love to come back.

Best Diving of Maldives
I love the dives, on this trip, I gained more extra experience in diving. We have seen a massive group of Gray Reef Sharks at the channel dive, which is for me a mega highlight. Mantas at cleaning station ..Mantas again at night just at the back side of the boat .. Alimatha Nurse Sharks at night dive. 2 Octopuses in one dive, 2 Hawkbill Turtles in the same area. Our boat is always alone and never mixes with another liveaboard boat. We have every time all dive sites for ourselves. This boat is really know when and where to go because we have exactly see many things underwater in the right time , right place.
