A dive holiday aboard the spacious and comfortable liveaboard Emperor Virgo will be a Maldives dream vacation. The liveaboard Emperor Virgo hits the seasonal hot spots of North Male, South Male and Ari Atoll and sails Down to the Southern most part of the atolls for Shark specials. Experience diversity with the many channels, drifts and pinnacles and encounter Manta, Whalesharks and Reef residents as you explore this underwater paradise. The boat's owner, Alex Bryant as well as the liveaboard Emperor Fleet are well-regarded in the liveaboard diving world and stand for highest quality and service standards both in their boats and in their professional crews. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

The liveaboard Emperor Virgo is 105 feet (32m) long. The vessel is a popular luxury liveaboard with accommodation for 18 guests. You will cruise the heavenly atolls in style while being waited on by a crew dedicated to your every need. It offers newly refurbished 5 Lower, 2 Upper and 2 Main Deck cabins with Twin or Double bed options, Cabin #3 can be booked as a Triple. There are large panoramic windows in the Upper and Main Deck cabins. All cabins have air conditioning and hair dryers. 1 bath, sun deck & dive towels are provided for each guest.

Throughout the liveaboard Emperor Virgo, your visual senses will be appeased with the light wood décor and ambiance. This liveaboard boat is known for its fun and social environment. The large air conditioned Saloon is welcoming and has comfy sofas. Between dives, snorkeling is always available, some of the entertainment includes movies, catching up on social media when Wi-Fi is available. Perhaps you are more inclined to lounging on the completely new sun shade area on the Sun Deck, creating more shade for guests to relax under or taking a nap in your liveaboard air conditioned cabin. 

The stylish Restaurant dining area offers superb culinary delights served buffet style. Staff aboard the liveaboard Emperor Virgo understand that food plays a crucial part in the satisfaction and enjoyment of your dive vacation. The liveaboard menu was designed by Divers, because they know which food will provide the best basis for enjoyable and energy-charged diving. The varied menus designed for fueling the action-packed dives include Western food with Vegetarian options served as a buffet. Beer, Wine, Spirits and Cocktails are available at an extra charge on board the Emperor Virgo. Special dietary requests can be honored by stating your needs on the booking form.

For 'happy hour' or after dinner, enjoy your favorite alcoholic drink from the new Bar installed on the Upper Deck, which has created a brighter, lighter, spacious open-air Rear Deck to enjoy your post diving 'Sundowner'.   Toast to a wonderful day of diving with new friends as the sun sets over the magnificent Maldives horizon.
