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.

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!

Sets a new standard for liveaboards. 10/10.
I only ever want to dive on boats like this from now on. Incredibly luxurious and spacious. Private ensuite with a view from the shower that some people pay 10k/night for at a resort. Food was incredible too. Freshly cooked eggs to order every morning. Delicious meals 3 times / day - not your usual liveaboard fare. And the dive crew - who were knowledgable, relaxed, professional, and friendly - found all the best encounters for us. Mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs - everything you could ask for and much much more. The diving setup - including a huge separate dive boat with everyone’s gear pre-setup, was the most sophisticated and hassle-free I have ever experienced. I will be back again!

A luxury liveaboard finally!
A fantastic trip. Boat is 2nd to none. Feeling of space is wonderful. Finally a liveaboard where comfort and luxury isn’t compromised. Development areas would be the food whilst fresh was a bit bland, some fragrant local dishes could be introduced. Breakfast was great plus the coffee! Excellent wine list. Some dive sites focused too much on local resorts, which in some ways defeats the purpose of being on a liveaboard so I feel the sites could be revisited,m. Saying that we saw whale, tiger, bull, grey sharks etc so can’t complain too much!

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.

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

Great liveaboard experience
The trip on the Whitepearl was incredible. It was our first liveaboard and the experience was definitely to be repeated. The staff was super friendly and very helpful, the dive guides were very experienced and friendly, despite we got put in a group of less experienced divers and head to a disappointing start, all the guys tried to help and make our experience as great as possible and accomodate every request we had. Overall there is really nothing we can say about how the whole thing was managed, it was really good. The food was incredible and the room perfect. We would love to join the Whitepearl again for a different itinerary next year!

A luxurious diving vacation
White Pearl completely changed my impression on liveaboard. I realized that liveaboard can be a combination of relaxed luxurious vacation and an exciting diving adventure. The crew members in particular Brend and Sara are super helpful. We saw a lot of marine life in the water while also enjoyed the facilities out of water. The beach dinner was so goooood and I’m sure I won’t never forget it.

Luxury boat with only minor weaknesses
Expectations were already very high, also in view of the self-promotion. The cabins are really very big, but you should be careful: the ravages of time are already gnawing a little bit. It was still okay, but not for long, then the paint is off if no countermeasures are taken. We had a junior suite, the difference to the twin cabins was not very big, you can take this one with a clear conscience. Overall, there was a lot of shade on the ship, the very large sunbathing area on the upper deck was great.The staff was truly amazing, outstanding, from Hadrian to Ranga - WOW. Ludi our private guide was in a class of her own: she made the trip very special, thank you!!Very good understandable professional briefings, the dive sites were a bit too repetitive. Just because we had Ludi, who kept looking for something special - and found it! it wasn't boring in the end.The food was superb, it was also refilled when needed. Everything freshly prepared and lots of fresh vegetables and salad/fruit.The biggest point of criticism would be that you really couldn't avoid the smell of exhaust gases anywhere on board, we have never experienced that on a liveaboard before. The fact that the smokers occupied the entire area at the bar and around the jacuzzi was also difficult for us as non-smokers.The 3rd dive for those who do not need a surface break due to the upcoming flight should be included in the price in view of the very high total price. Soft drinks should also be included.
