TL

Emperor Serenity is a 40-metre Maldivian liveaboard from the Emperor Divers fleet. The vessel has been completely rebuilt and since 2024 sails effectively as a new boat: fibreglass hull, four decks, thirteen ensuite cabins for twenty-six guests.

Cabins are spread across three decks. Seven cabins with portholes sit on the lower deck, while the main and upper decks hold four spacious suites of 17.5–22 m² with a king-size bed and large windows. Every cabin has individually controlled air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom with a shower, charging ports and storage space.

Diving runs from a dedicated 24-metre dhoni: gear stays there, so the yacht’s own decks stay clear. The dhoni carries compressors, oxygen, a full first-aid kit and an AED, three crew of its own and up to four dive guides per group. Nitrox up to 32% is free, S80 tanks are standard with C100 on request, DIN adaptors and rebreather support are available. Photographers get charging stations, rinse tanks, an air gun and a camera table.

Inside there is an air-conditioned saloon with sofas, a TV, a library and board games, an internationally stocked bar and a restaurant serving buffet meals — local and Western cuisine, a beach barbecue and a special dinner. A glass of wine with dinner is included, and most evenings there is a two-for-one happy hour. The upper deck is an open lounge, the sun deck is given over to loungers and bean bags.

Port and park fees, the environment tax, the airport transfer and the fuel surcharge are all in the price — there are no itinerary or fuel add-ons on board. Departures are on Sundays; the core programme is “Best of Maldives” around the central atolls.

No mark-up

You pay the rate the operator publishes. The only thing added on top is the actual payment processing cost — no fee of ours.

We run the booking

Correspondence with the operator, holding your places, the contract, confirmation and all paperwork sit on our side. Nothing for you to arrange yourself.

Pay by card

We send you a Stripe invoice — pay by card, in your own currency, from anywhere in the world. The transfer to the operator is handled on our side.

Support in your language

We help you pick the cabin and dates, answer questions on the route and gear, and stay reachable until you are home — in English, in your time zone.

We quote the exact amount when confirming the booking: it covers the operator's rate plus the actual payment processing cost. No hidden charges.

Schedule & Pricing

Central atolls (Male — Male)

The vessel's core programme, "Best of Maldives" — a loop from Male through North and South Male, Ari and Rasdhoo. Classic Maldives: manta cleaning stations, night dives with whale sharks in Maamu, current-swept channels with schools of grey reef sharks, turtles and morays on the reefs. Suitable for divers of any level, snorkelers join the same departures. Sunday starts.

A summer route into the Baa UNESCO biosphere reserve. The main target is Hanifaru Bay, where dozens of mantas and whale sharks gather in plankton season: snorkeling in the bay, diving the surrounding thilas. Rasdhoo and North Ari reefs on the way. Departures run only in July and August, during the plankton season.

The southern atolls of Addu and Huvadhoo for experienced divers. Hammerheads and grey reef sharks in the Huvadhoo channels, the sunken British tanker British Loyalty in Addu, mantas on the cleaning stations.

Southern Shark Adventure (Male — Gan)

A two-week transit across the whole of the Maldives: from the central atolls down to Addu and back.
