Description

Embark on a luxury diving experience through the Maldives aboard the M/V Carpe Novo, a modern vessel offering unmatched comfort and style.

Part of the Explorer Ventures Fleet, Carpe Novo takes you through the Maldives’ atolls, channels, and pinnacles to encounter the large pelagics that define this world-renowned diving destination. Choose from 7-night, 10-night, and specialty cruises, each with a unique itinerary based on seasonal currents and pelagic migrations.

Built in 2016, the M/V Carpe Novo accommodates up to 22 passengers in 12 spacious cabins, each featuring private bathrooms, air conditioning, and modern amenities. Ten staterooms can be configured for couples or friends, with some cabins designed for single occupancy, each equipped with HD media players and a selection of entertainment.

Relax between dives on the sun deck, which offers both shaded and sunny spots. The upper deck features an al-fresco dining area, a fully stocked bar, and a space to enjoy buffet-style meals crafted by the onboard chef. The air-conditioned lounge offers a comfortable area for relaxation, while a dedicated camera station ensures easy charging and space for photography gear.

The Carpe Novo also boasts easy access to the water for swims or diving via a swim platform with in-water ladders. Guests can stay connected with internet access, available for a small fee, and two onboard computers with USB connections.

Meals include a mix of local and international dishes, with the option of a BBQ on a private beach one evening, complete with traditional songs and entertainment from the crew.
