The Emperor Virgo liveaboard offers year-round diving in the Maldives. Catering to just 18 divers, there is ample space for all guests on board to relax and unwind during their stay. Cabins are spread over 3 decks and have double or twin beds, private en-suite bathrooms, and individually controlled AC. Upper-deck cabins also have large picture windows and amazing sea views.
The main deck of the Emperor Virgo is home to the large indoor salon with an entertainment area and dining room. The upper deck has an outdoor terrace, bar, and an al-fresco dining area to enjoy the delicious cuisine and gorgeous scenery. Meals combine international and local dishes; a free glass of wine is included with dinner. The sun deck has comfortable loungers and offers a relaxing space to unwind between dives.
All dives from the Emperor Virgo yacht take place from the accompanying dhoni, which gives plenty of room for kitting up and gear storage and makes getting to and from the dive sites easy. Itineraries on offer are The Best of the Maldives, Sharktastic, South Central Atolls, and the Deep South & Southern Sharks. All offer incredible dives with the chance of encounters with sharks, whale sharks, dolphins, turtles, and more.

Great off-peak season diving
Great diving and a well run ship. crew was highly attentive. Even though it was off season and had a small passenger load, the crew maintained a high level of focus and service. Food was consistently good and the rooms were well maintained (and quite spacious on the top deck).

Superior experience with great people
My personal highlight was actually the crew. Everyone always had a smile on their faces and everyone did an outstanding job. The chef Chanaka was just amazing. For this reason alone, the trip on the Virgo is worth it. The guides were also great and always professionally ensured that the group was safe on the one hand and a lot of fun on the other.

Loved it
Despite mechanical problems (a big but also very rare issue, no one to blame), the crew went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our experience the best it could be. I had an amazing time. The dives were great and we all saw what we came for (yes, including a whale shark). I definitely recommend this trip and would definitely pick this company again.

Great Dives and amazing Food
The Crew and the Guides are very friendly and attentive. They care about you like about their friends and try everything to make the trip to your best week. The dives sites are well chosen and eventhough we had not the best visibility, we saw whaleshark, plenty of Mantas, different sharks and turtles, cuddle fishes and many many fishes :-) And the food is amazing! For the vegan, diabetics individual meals have been provided. Awesome week!
