Built-in 2004 and renovated in2014, the beautiful and modern liveaboard Emperor Voyager is a 30-meter long vessel sail from Male every week to dive the very best that the Maldives has to offer.
This is where you dive the best and most famous dive sites of the Maldives in a week of excellent liveaboard diving across North Male and Ari atolls. This vessel is built to a very high standard and can accommodate 20 guests in its ten spacious cabins.
Twenty guests at a time can be accommodated in the ten cabins of this beautifully finished liveaboard.
Cabins are on three decks: two twin bed cabins on the upper deck, one twin bed cabin on the main deck, three double bed cabins on the lower front deck, and four twin bed cabins on the lower deck. Main deck cabins have large windows with panoramic sea views.
Other cabins have portholes for natural lighting. All cabins are individually air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms. The modern furnishings guarantee you travel in comfort.
For comfort and relaxation between dives, chill out in the elegant, wood finished, air-conditioned lounge area on the upper deck, which has comfy sofas and chairs facing the sea.
The spacious sundeck has a large outdoor dining table and a corner bar and drinks area where you can chat with your fellow divers over a glass of beer or wine.
If you want to chill out, there’s a super home theatre with comfortable sofas on the upper deck. Want to work on your tan between dives? Catch those sun’s rays or take a nap on a sunbed on the sundeck.
Diving takes stamina, and good food is essential for building up those energy levels again. The onboard chef prepares a buffet-style menu that incorporates Thai and Western cuisine.
You can eat diner outside on one of the shaded decks. Take advantage of the fully stocked bar and savor that last drink on the sun deck as the sun goes down over the horizon.
When the weather allows, a BBQ will be organized on the beach of a deserted island.
On your dive holiday in the Maldives with Emperor Voyager liveaboard, you will dive the best dive spots with experienced dive guides.
There is an incredible variety of dive sites and marine life around the Central atolls. You first have a relaxing dive next to reefs with beautiful soft corals. The next dive could be adrenaline-seeking drift dive where schools of eagle rays fly by. Also, there are several cleaning stations where manta rays appear.
At least once during your dive safari, MY Voyager will organize a night dive that is known to be spectacular.
For non-divers and scuba divers, there is always a chance to see a whale shark near one of the local islands.
The perfect points of entry and exit for your dive are from the extensive diving Dhoni. Since it is fully equipped, it leaves you ample space on the liveaboard. MY Emperor Voyager is rebreather friendly and offers free Nitrox for qualified Nitrox divers.
There are freshwater showers on the diving deck to rinse yourself off after each dive. Large freshwater buckets are also available to rinse dive equipment such as cameras, dive computers, and fins.

Emperor Voyager one of the most popular liveaboards in the Maldives. A great liveaboard diving holiday for an affordable price.
February to April is the time to sail to the southerly Maldives atolls and dive into the shark action in these out-of-the-way southern dive sites between Huvadhoo and Laamu. Spend a week away from the madding crowds and dive Foammulah and Huvadhoo on the lookout for the Indian Ocean’s larger residents; tiger sharks, silver tips, grey reef sharks and whale sharks.
From Male we take you to Huvadhoo by plane to join your liveaboard – or from Huvadhoo to Male depending on how you have chosen to dive it – and then it’s off on our adventure. Here you can expect to meet tiger and silver tip sharks around Foamulah. At Huvadhoo, one of the deepest lagoons in the Maldives, the currents are ideal for even more shark sightings including hopefully whale sharks and silkies, hammerheads, tiger and grey sharks spotted most of the time. There are swift channel dives with several kandus; Vilingilli, Nilandhoo, Mareehaa and Kondeey, as well as reef thila dives; Gazeera and Vaadhoo. The night dive on the Hyatt Reef is definitely one to be experienced.
This itinerary suits experienced divers (100+ dives) looking for ‘away from it all and different’ diving with quite a focus on drift diving.
Highlights:
Please note: Due to weather and diving conditions, it’s not always possible to visit each Atoll. Your Cruise Director will decide the best ones to visit at the time of diving.
Additional domestic flight is required (not included in the trip price).
Complimentary shared airport pick-up times are 11 am and 4 pm. Pickups can be arranged at other times from USD 15 per person.
This is the Best of the Maldives – and it delivers precisely that. This is where you dive the best and most famous dive sites of the Maldives in a week of outstanding liveaboard diving across Male and Ari atolls.
Enjoy a dive holiday that gives you all you could wish for from the iconic sites of North Male, South Male, and Ari Atoll. Awaiting you are channels, drifts, and pinnacles where you have every chance of meeting mantas, whale sharks, and mesmerizing marine life of so many varieties. We don’t follow an exact itinerary; flexibility is the word so that no matter what time of the year you visit, this underwater world is yours (and ours) for the exploring.
This itinerary gives you a marine mix of big fish such as shark and manta dives and reef dives, reef fish, morays, and the abundant macro life. Get up close at the cleaning stations without disturbing the locals! One of the best-known dive sites is Maaya Thila; this pinnacle is approximately 30m in diameter and falls away to reveal sharks and fish aplenty.
A night dive from sheltered moorings here is a must! And the boat will also aim to find whale sharks so you can get in the water and snorkel with them…as long as they stay around long enough!
The first and last night of each trip is spent on board at the port.

No minimum number of dives needed, but you should be comfortable with drift dives as currents can be strong.
Many of the dives on the Best of Maldives, Manta Madness, and Pelagic Magic itineraries are suitable for all divers levels; however, unpredictable and strong currents are to be expected in certain areas. Inexperienced and beginner divers may find some dives challenging and may be asked by the Cruise Director to skip dives that are not suitable for their diving experience. On some dives, the recommended depth is below 18m; therefore, advanced or Deep Diver training is advised.
All diving is from dhonis or zodiacs to give precise entry and exit points. Experienced divers can dive in a buddy pair unguided.
