JUST PERFECT

Princess Haleema itself - great ship, very clean, the standard cabins on the lowest deck are super equipped, large bathroom with toilet, private shower, every day the bed was made and cleaned. Air conditioning worked great, was a bit noisy in our room at the beginning (room 3) - but you get used to it. and after 3 dives a day and a few cozy beers in the evening, you fall into bed tired anyway. The food was absolutely terrific! Quality incredibly high, every day 2x three course menu of the best quality. I am vegetarian and have always had great food. The kitchen crew works with absolute passion and true pâtissier also in the process. mmmh....Super friendly, courteous and cheerful staff - family feeling after a few hours. The farewell really hurt. We came as guests and left as friends. That's unbelievable when you consider that new guests come on the ship every week and everything starts all over again - you don't notice that at all. We had the feeling that we were the only and best guests ever. :-)We were 2 Swiss, 2 English and 1 Israeli, the rest were Italian-speaking guests. Macana Maldives is in Italian ownership - it is clear that it has more Italian-speaking guests. But the crew speaks good English and that was never a problem. The visibility was quite OK, rather a lot of plankton, thus large and many fish - but less foresight. It rained once - otherwise hot, clear and 30 degrees. The only minus point: There was no Nitrox available, although this was offered on the Internet. That was a shame and disappointed us a bit at first. But that was immediately forgotten :-)Wonderful - anytime again - highly recommended. Thank you so much ♥ Thanks also to the staff of liveaboard - you did an excellent job in advance! Each of our questions was answered promptly and very competently. We will be happy to book through you ♥ again Nicole und Timotheus, Switzerland (age: 37/40 years)

Unforgettable trip on the princess haleema!

From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed by the most incredible crew – every single one of them was exceptionally friendly, supportive, and genuinely passionate about making our trip truly special. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure that this journey would be an experience etched in our memories forever. The dives were absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the stunning marine life of the Maldives in all its glory. Whether it was gliding alongside majestic mantas, exploring vibrant reefs, or watching schools of fish dance in the blue, each dive was unforgettable. The food was another highlight – delicious, fresh, and full of variety. Honestly, it felt like dining in a floating five-star restaurant! Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and served with a smile. Everything was flawlessly organized, from the dive schedules to the daily routines, and the atmosphere on board was always relaxed and joyful. You could truly feel the positive energy from the crew, which made a huge difference. Thank you, Princess Haleema team, for an experience of a lifetime. I’m already dreaming of the next trip!

Amazing diving holidays

Everything was great and we were lucky to be almost alone on the dive sites. We enjoyed a lot diving so close to reef sharks that we saw during almost every dives. The dive guides were very professional, calm, trustworthy and easy-going. The marine biologist on the boat is a real plus as well. We also enjoyed very much the fresh food cooked by the amazing chef and all the home made aperitivo. Thanks also for the effort to reduce plastic consumption on board !
