- The luxury 137ft (42m) Emperor Explorer yacht schedules year-round dive trips in the Maldives. Brand new and a class of her own, the Emperor Explorer comfortably accommodates 26 guests in 13 cabins. Each stateroom features a private en-suite bathroom, individually controlled AC and fan, storage space, and charging ports. There is the choice of twin or double-bed cabins, and the option to upgrade to main or upper deck rooms which also feature stunning sea views.
Emperor Explorer Maldives has numerous social and relaxation areas around the boat. The upper deck has an open-air terrace and on the top deck is a large sundeck with loungers. The main deck is home to the air-conditioned salon with sofas and TV, and home-cooked meals with a complimentary glass of wine at dinner are served at the dining area located at the stern.
Emperor Explorer offers a variety of itineraries around the world-class dive sites the Maldives is known for. Choose from the 'Best of the Maldives' to truly experience the magic of the Maldive Atolls and delivers 7 days of fantastic diving at the iconic sites of the North and South Male Atolls and Ari Atoll, or the ‘Hanifaru & North’ itinerary, which gives guests the chance to get up close and snorkel with giant mantas in the bay.
Diving takes place from the accompanying dhoni, which has plenty of space for gear storage, kitting up, and makes getting to and from the dive sites hassle-free. Complimentary nitrox is available for certified divers.
