Highly recommended!!!

We are truly happy to have chosen the Princess Dhonkamana Liveaboard. We have wonderful memories from the eight days and seven nights. Thank you, Martina, for all the care and arrangements. We had a great time and were very satisfied with the food, as every meal was so abundant. Diving with people from different cultures and countries was a joy, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We even had the chance to visit Male city, wander around, relax, and shop for souvenirs. This trip was definitely worth it. Thank you, Divebooker, for patiently answering all my questions before the trip! Highly recommended!!!

Will select Emperor Serenity again

This was my and my girlfriend's first liveaboard experience and I couldn't have selected a better choice than Emperor Serenity. All staff members were very professional, all well behaved and safety first approach to things.
Our guide through the dives was Catalina and she was very experienced, nice, energetic throughout the dives and understand everyone's need and limits.
Over all great experience and we can't thank enough from all of the Emperor Serenity team for making our dream of diving in Maldives come true.

Why Choose a Family-Friendly Liveaboard Trip?

Foster a Passion for Marine Discovery: Ignite a love for the ocean in your children. Many liveaboards provide snorkeling and swimming activities, perfect for non-diving family members, ensuring no one misses out on the fun.

Unplug and Reconnect: Swap screen time for sea time. Liveaboard trips offer a rare break from the digital world, promoting quality family interactions amidst nature's splendor. The internet can often be slow or sometimes unavailable due to the vessel's distance from the shore.

Capture and Share Unique Moments: From underwater selfies with tropical fish to breathtaking sunsets over the open sea, the photo opportunities on a liveaboard trip are unparalleled, waiting to fill your albums and social feeds with unique memories. We're confident that your family photos will stand out in uniqueness compared to those of your friends!

Tips for a Smooth Liveaboard Experience with Kids:

  • Active Parental Supervision: While liveaboards are welcoming to families, parents should anticipate being the primary caregivers for their children, as dedicated childcare staff may not be available.

  • Diving Age Restrictions: Confirm in advance if the liveaboard accommodates young divers, especially if they are certified and keen to dive.

  • Early Planning is Key: Aim to book your family dive trip early, especially during school holiday periods, to ensure you secure the best liveaboard and itinerary for your family.

Embracing a liveaboard holiday doesn't mean sacrificing fun for family time. It's about enriching experiences, from exploring vibrant coral reefs to enjoying topside activities like beach visits, kayaking, and more. Many destinations are perfect for kids, offering safe, shallow waters and engaging cultural experiences. With liveaboard diving cruises, you don't just take a trip; you create a legacy of shared adventures and tales to tell for generations
