The Emperor Voyager was originally built in 2004 but underwent an entire refurbishing in 2014. It offers the diver a well-appointed, comfortable experience in exploring the Maldives. Measuring 98 feet (30m) in length and 30 feet (9m) in width, it provides ample space for as many as 20 guests. Its itineraries take divers to some of the most famous dive sites in the Maldives: North Male, South Male, and Ari Atoll - a haven for marine life such as mantas, whale sharks, and hammerheads.

This yacht can accommodate guests in 10 cabins, distributed across three decks. Cabins come in either twin or double format. All cabins are air-conditioned with en-suite bathrooms and a private relaxing area for guests after their dives. Towels provided for all guests include bath, sun deck, and dive towels.

There are several areas to rest on board: a dining area with outdoor seating on the upper deck - a great place to take meals with views of the open sea. The saloon is fitted out with sofas and thus is a great area to relax between dives. If one wants to stay in the sun, then the loungers up on the sundeck are there for this purpose.

Onboard cuisine is buffet-style, with some Western cuisine and vegetarian dishes included. Special diets can be catered for if ordered in advance. Beverages are complimentary, with the exception of alcoholic drinks - beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails are available for purchase.

Divers can enjoy three dives per day with Dive Masters, who are among the most experienced dive leaders in the Maldives. The dive deck is spacious with ample storage for all your diving gear and also a camera preparation area for your underwater cameras. Snorkeling, island visits, and Male city tours, if required, can be arranged for people seeking more than just diving in the Maldives.

It is a liveaboard in the Maldives, the perfect combination of comfort and adventure. It represents an opportunity to visit the wonderful underwater world of the Maldivian atolls

New Year in the MaldivesVerified review
We organized a small group trip to Maldives to spend a week on Emperor Voyager, one of the numerous Emperor fleet in Maldives. We organized our trip through Divebooker.com. I have to say we had a fantastic time, The diving was great, the crew knowledgeable and helpful and the itinerary such that we saw what we believe was some of the best diving in Maldives. We stayed around central Maldives, so there were no long portages allowing us usually 4 dives per day. The scope of dives on this trip were not for the inexperienced. In fact I would say, in order to get the most out of what the trip had to offer, you need to be advanced certified and have experience diving in current, and importantly, be comfortable with it. In that way you can relax and enjoy what is going on around you. The Emperor crew were great, as were the guys from Divebooker. Professional as always, with nothing being too much trouble. I highly recommend joining Voyager for a week and making your arrangements with Divebooker.

Emperor Voyager Maldives - 5 stars!Verified review
I spent a week on the "Best of the Maldives" itinerary. Everything about the trip was excellent. The boat is great, very comfortable and the crew cannot do enough to help you enjoy your time. The diving is from a separate boat which stays throughout and is extremely well set up for diving from. The guides have the perfect balance of promoting safety and environmental awareness, diving with minimal impact on the marine life, finding the most interesting things for us to see and keeping the whole thing fun. Oh, and the chef is amazing! We were well and truly spoiled.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Best Maldives Liveaboard Itineraries
For first-timers, liveaboard itineraries may turn out to be too many to look at in the Maldives. Usually, people do not know what is in store for them underwater in each atoll. The good thing is that most of the liveaboard routes have typical trajectories, despite having different labels assigned by various operators. These typical itineraries are designed to offer guests the most beautiful dive sites of the Maldives, ensuring divers get the best of every atoll. Be it exhilarating channel dives, manta cleaning stations, or laid-back reef explorations, each itinerary offers something unique. Your key to selecting an itinerary that will cater to your diving preference and experience level is to understand the main features of each route
Best of Maldives Itinerary
This is a diving trip that will take you to the most well-known dive sites across the atolls of Male, Ari, and Vaavu in the Maldives for pinnacle dives, channel drift dives, and more. Divers will visit cleaning stations where mantas and reef sharks can be seen without disrupting their routines. The route includes highlights like Fish Head in Ari Atoll, a protected pinnacle known for its resident turtles, patrolling grey reef sharks, and fusiliers pursued by trevallies. Overhangs and schools of blue line snapper complete the vibrant scene. Highlights include a night dive at Alimatha in Vaavu Atoll. The site is known for its nurse sharks, some of which reach three meters in length and congregate here every evening to offer divers a thrilling experience. Overall, the underwater life that may be encountered throughout the trip could include mantas, eagle rays, turtles, morays, and plenty of macro life. Hammerheads and whale sharks can also appear on occasion. It tailors the route to current weather, currents, and activity of marine life to ensure optimal diving conditions. This flexibility means that each tour can explore as much as possible of the underwater treasures in the Maldives
Best Time to Dive
In the Maldives, diving is possible all year round with two distinct monsoon seasons. The northeast monsoon from November to April brings drier conditions and much better visibility. On the other hand, during the southwest monsoon from May to November, nutrient-rich waters offer better pelagic activity. Temperatures stay pretty constant at 25-30°C with water temperature at 27-30°C. Thermoclines might be experienced occasionally below 20 meters, especially during the change of monsoon shifts. Divers who wish to see large pelagics may prefer the wet season, while those valuing visibility may prefer the dry season. The seasons have their merits depending on what a diver is looking for
Marine Life
The Maldives offer a unique biodiversity, with more than 2,000 species of fish inhabiting dynamic coral ecosystems. During channel dives, reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, and grey reef sharks are expected, mantas visit cleaning stations, and eagle rays and stingrays glide down the edges of the reef. Whale sharks are a key highlight and are often seen in deeper channels or near the surface. The sea turtles, such as hawksbill and green turtles, often come across in coral gardens. Bright reef fishes like fusiliers, butterflyfish, and parrotfish, with larger species like trevallies and groupers. Add to this the rich variety of marine life-moray eels in many of the reef crevices. Spinner dolphins, playful at times, near to the surface, are quite a thrill to spot during surface intervals or at dive sites near the atolls. Every dive in the Maldives is a new possibility to observe the interactions of diverse marine species, making it one of the best destinations for those who enjoy going underwater
