Huge and luxury ship, filled with a great crew
11/10 would do again! White Pearl did deliver all I could have hoped for. From the gargantuan vessel to the the top level crew and guides, everything was set for an ultra comfortable trip right from the start. Also, Hadrien as Cruise Director made last minute changes to the route, accounting for weather to ensure the best possible experience for us.

The best Liveaboard experience
I had a wonderful week diving with White Pearl. The boat feels truly luxurious and the crew went out of their way to make the week special. The onboard spa is an excellent touch. I was even surprised with birthday celebrations during the week! Dives were exceptional and the guides were very knowledgeable of the sites and conditions. One of the best Liveaboard I’ve been on and I’d definitely book again.

Fantastic
One of the best things about this boat experience was the space. The boat was very clean, open, and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and move around without feeling crowded. The schedule was also excellent. Everything ran on time and was well organized, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. We were able to enjoy every part of the journey without feeling rushed. Finally, the staff truly made the experience special. They were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their attention to safety and guest comfort made us feel very well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed boat trip with amazing service!

The best guide of the team for sure! On the last day, a jet-ski is available but chargeable. It's the best boat whatsoever!

Luxury Liveaboard
The beach bbq was awesome and the staff put so much effort into the small details. This was a great social event which was pivotal in bringing the whole group of 15 divers from various nationalities together socially. Diving with the mantas at Addu Madigaa , swimming with the whaleshark, getting up close with the tiger shark at Tiger Zoo and seeing a mass of shark activity at Villingili were some of the highlights of the trip

This boat is beautiful, comfortable and very stable. The staff are welcoming and friendly whilst looking after all your needs. We got some excellent diving with guides who adapted to the capabilities of their divers.

Great Deep South diving, nice crew and a beautiful spacious new liveaboard
My wife and I did the 8D/7N Deep South trip on the White Pearl and had a great experience overall. The boat itself is quite new and the cabins are excellent for a liveaboard. They are very spacious, the beds are huge and extremely comfortable, and everything felt modern and well maintained. One thing that stood out right at the beginning was the safety briefing. It was probably one of the most comprehensive and well-structured briefings we have had on a liveaboard. The dive operation in general felt very professional and well organized. The dive guides and the rest of the crew were fantastic. The dive groups were small, the guiding was relaxed but attentive, and the overall group dynamic between guests and crew was great. Everyone got along really well which created a very enjoyable atmosphere on the boat throughout the week. The food was also very good with plenty of variety. We especially enjoyed the local dishes. If I had one small suggestion it would be to include even more Maldivian food – for example mashuni as a regular breakfast option is an easy one. The diving itself was great with lots of sharks and action typical for the Deep South with many different sharks. The only minor downside was that the dive sites could have been a bit more varied. We ended up doing 5 of the 18 dives at the same two sites, which slightly reduced the sense of exploration. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and really enjoyed our time on the White Pearl. We would definitely consider booking with them again.

Outstanding ship with very courteous crew
The week on the White Pearl was a great experience from start to finish. The ship is modern, luxurious and very spacious. There are always more places available than could be needed. Everything is stress-free and of high quality. The state of hygiene in the cabins and also in all public areas is outstanding. Also the pool on deck was always available and absolutely clean. It was striking how calm and stable the White Pearl is in the water compared to most other ships. Had no ride and no night in which it rocked.The kitchen and the service staff are certainly to be praised. The food was very varied, delicious and perfectly presented. It was striking how good and extensive the range of food is. There really are no wishes left unfulfilled.The diving operation worked smoothly. Even though the corals are unfortunately very battered by now, the guides really did everything to get the best out of it. It was also very commendable that the route was deliberately chosen so that as few other liveboards as possible were always at the same dive sites. Special mention should also be made of the mint and very clean dhoni - fits perfectly with the rest of the experience. Overall, we can absolutely recommend the White Pearl. Especially for those who want to combine diving and a luxurious cruise.

Excellent Liveaboard and exceptional diving conditions.
I have been diving for 59 years all over the world. Both tropical and northern cold water drysuit diving. I preferred the lower current type of dives within the atolls for marine tropical fish photography. The atoll channel diving is interesting but quite strenuous since reef hooks must be used once the appropriate depth and location is reached in order to establish a fixed vantage watch for pelagic fish, sharks, rays to pass by the dive group. Lots of divers and lots of boat traffic. Be experienced at deploying your SMB!!!

Amazing comfort, great service, good diving.
The boat is very new, well-maintained and extremely comfortable. Each room is not too dissimilar to an actual hotel room and after each dive, you have access to a hot shower, which is amazing for a livaboard. The food is great as well. The onboard chefs prepare a range of cuisines everyday so you're never bored of what you're eating. This is the first liveaboard I've ever been on that has an onboard gym. Weights ranging from 2kg to 20kg, rowing machine, bench, cycling machine. There's also a dedicated area to set up and clean your underwater photography gear - very handy. The Jacuzzi is also a plus. If this is the level of comfort you're seeking for a liveaboard, this is the boat for you. The diving was good. Our dive guide Rishi was very knowledgeable, attentive and professional. We were a little bit unlucky with our diving at the start of the trip, as we didn't see much during a number of the channel dives. But as we got to Fuvahmulah, we got to see some tiger sharks (additional charge of US$40/pp) and Mantas, everyone's mood drastically improved. Overall an excellent experience.

One of the best holidays I have had
The experience was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up on time at Male airport. The transfer and check-in experience onboard was seamless. Dive groups were assigned for Day 1, with some changes for Day 2 once the guides had a better understanding of everybody's experience and comfort underwater, which was a really nice touch...ensuring everybody got the best experience possible. The boat itself is incredible and I would definitely consider booking it again, as well as the other vessels in the Pearl Fleet. It is not the cheapest boat in the Maldives, but you get what you pay for right down to the quality of rental equipment, should you need it. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Great boat. Fantastic trip
This was our 6th Liveaboard and we had a great time. We did the Hanimaadhoo to Male route and most dives were amazing. Saw Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks, many reef sharks and turtles and many more. Food was the best we had on Liveaboard. One thing to keep in mind is that this boat markets heavily toward Chinese and majority of the guests tend to be Chinese. If you are a solo traveler who does not speak Chinese, you may find it hard to connect with most of the guests. That said, wife and are not Chinese, yet we still had a great time
