Unlimited mineral water, tea, instant coffee, and various soft drinks are part of the included beverages, with a complimentary glass of free red wine served at dinner.

The package also includes up to four dives daily, depending on the itinerary and schedule. Guests receive two towels for personal use, suitable for diving or the sun deck. A Single Travellers Guarantee ensures that if a same-sex cabin share is not possible, a private cabin will be arranged without extra charge. Divers benefit from complimentary Nitrox up to 40%, while each itinerary is supported by two dive tenders that transfer guests directly to dive sites.

The indoor lounge is equipped with an entertainment system and board games, while WiFi is available with a complimentary limited-data package for one device per guest. Boat crew members assist throughout the journey, ensuring equipment handling, tender operations, and guest comfort.

Extra charges apply to several services. Premium espresso, latte, cappuccino, cocktails, beer, and premium wines are available at an additional fee.

Optional dive courses, including PADI Advanced Open Water and Specialties, incur extra costs. Park fees and environmental charges also apply and are paid separately on board. Satellite phone use is charged additionally

What level of diving experience is recommended for Emperor Superior Liveaboard?

The Emperor Superior Egypt liveaboard is part of the Emperor fleet, which operates several Red Sea liveaboards catering to a wide range of divers. It welcomes both beginners and certified divers with varying levels of experience, as the itineraries differ in dive site demands. Trips like North & Easy, operating between Hurghada ports from May to September, are suitable for snorkellers, non-divers, and less experienced guests due to the relaxed pace and calm conditions at sites such as Sha’ab El Erg or Ras Mohamed.

Other itineraries, including Reefs & Wrecks or Famous Five, feature more advanced wreck dives and challenging reef walls. Divers joining these safaris benefit from at least an Advanced Open Water certification, especially for sites like the Brother Islands where currents and depths are greater. Carrying a dive computer and an SMB is mandatory, while a torch is needed for night dives. These requirements make the experience safer for every diver, whether it is their first dive in the region or a return trip.

The boat provides two experienced dive guides on each safari, supported by the boat crew and instructors from Emperor Divers, who assist with logistics, safety, and planning. Non-divers are also welcome on board and can enjoy time in the air conditioned dining room, on sunbeds, or in shaded outdoor spaces while others dive

What is included in the Reefs & Wrecks itinerary?

The Reefs & Wrecks itinerary blends historic wreck dives with vibrant reef explorations in the northern Red Sea. With up to 21 dives on a 7-day safari, divers experience iconic locations and varied underwater scenery.

Shaab El Erg is a horseshoe-shaped reef with beautiful hard coral gardens and occasional dolphins. Abu Nuhas is another highlight with four famous wrecks: Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K (also known as the "tile wreck"), and Kimon M (the "lentil wreck), all lying in good company with plenty of marine life.

Between wreck dives, divers explore reefs in the Straits of Gubal, the Gulf of Suez, and northern Hurghada. These sites offer deep walls, colorful coral gardens, and dense reef fish populations. On Gubal Island, with its protected anchoring spot, night dives feature scorpionfish, lionfish, and a resident giant moray eel on a shallow wreck. Other highlights include the Kingston at Shag Rock, Carina near Sha'ab Ali, and the Dunraven at Beacon Rock.

Ras Mohamed National Park, located at the southern tip of Sinai, is a staple on this itinerary. Divers can see Shark Reef, a wall dropping straight into the blue, and Yolanda Reef, home to the cargo of a sunken freighter-bathtubs, toilets, and pipes-resting among the corals. Nutrient-rich waters attract large schools of fish and predators

What does the Famous Five itinerary include?

The Famous Five itinerary combines some of the northern Red Sea's best wrecks and reefs with offshore highlights like the Brother Islands. Starting in Hurghada, the route begins at Abu Nuhas with its famous wrecks-Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, and Kimon M. Further north, the Rosalie Moller lies at depths between 30 and 50 meters, covered in glassfish and attracting predators such as lionfish, tuna, and trevallies.

The key feature of this route is the SS Thistlegorm. Lying at 30 meters, this World War II British cargo ship carries military trucks, motorcycles, and even railway engines. Depending on the weather conditions, the Thistlegorm can also be dived at night.

From here, divers move to Ras Mohamed National Park to dive Shark and Yolanda Reefs before heading offshore to the Brother Islands. These isolated pinnacles, rising from deep waters, are known for their walls draped in soft corals and gorgonians. Marine highlights include hammerheads, oceanic white-tip sharks, silky sharks, and the occasional thresher shark. The wrecks of the Aida II and Numidia at Big Brother provide additional interest, with marine life like Napoleon wrasse and grey reef sharks often seen here. The trip concludes with dives either at Safaga's Panorama Reef or the Salem Express wreck for a memorable finale

What marine life can I expect to see in the Red Sea?

The Red Sea is home to around 1,238 species of marine life, including stunning reef fish, fascinating macro species, and larger pelagics. Common sightings include clownfish, moray eels, Napoleon wrasse, parrotfish, and turtles. Wreck sites are often home to schools of glassfish, jacks, and trevallies, while deeper walls and plateaus host grey reef sharks, hammerheads, and silvertips. Dolphins and mantas make seasonal appearances, completing the variety underwater

When is the best time to dive in the Red Sea onboard of Emperor Superior?

The diving in the Red Sea is possible all year round, but conditions change with the season. Temperatures are cooler from November to March, with increased winds, but the sites are quieter and visibility remains very good. During this period, the temperature of the water is between 22-24°C.

April through June brings warmer water, with temperatures climbing to 26°C–28°C. This period often coincides with plankton blooms, attracting manta rays and the occasional whale shark. Marine activity peaks in summer, though air temperatures can exceed 40°C in July and August.

September to early November has ideal conditions, with warm water and mild air temperatures making for comfortable diving. Marine life in season includes shoals of barracuda, snapper, and trevally, and sharks and rays are often seen.

How many dives can I expect on these itineraries?
Both itineraries are designed for divers seeking maximum time underwater. As 21+ dive cruises, divers will be able to make up to 21 dives over the span of a 7-day safari, depending on conditions and personal preferences. Night dives are often included at key locations like Gubal Island, where shallow wrecks and nocturnal species provide unique experiences

Comment on the boat (Emperor Superior)
I had some great dives on my trip and I met some very nice fellow divers. However, Emperor Superior did not meet my expectations. I book this boat among others because it offered free internet. Free internet onboard was only 250 mb free and internet was only working very seldom. I had expested 10% free internet and via a proper connection (Satelite). As I needed to use my own mobile network I have now been billed more than 75,- € roaming. If I had know how bad the network was I would have book another boat or bought a Egypt SIM card at the airport. I ordered a big cabin at lower deck, but I got a bunk bed cabin. I got the cabin for myself though. The windows in the cabin could not be opened so it was extremely humid after shower. I therefore had my door open to the cabin most of the time to get some fresh air. I understand from other guest on the boat that it was a generel problem on all cabins. In generel the boat did not look like the beautiful pictures on the internet. It need a major makeover. The food was very good and the service from all the crew was very good. They were all very friendly and helpful. We came to some great divesites and we were offered up to 4 dives a day at some exciting wrecks and beautiful coral reefs. I would love to book with Divebooker again, but not on this boat.
