Emperor Explorer is a luxury yacht that offers year-round diving trips in the Maldives. It has 13 cabins that can host up to 26 guests, all with private bathrooms, AC, fan, storage, and charging ports. Guests can choose between twin or double beds and upgrade to rooms with sea views on the main or upper deck.

The yacht has several areas for socializing and relaxing. The upper deck has a terrace with fresh air and the top deck has a sundeck with loungers. The main deck has a salon with sofas and TV, and a dining area where guests can enjoy home-cooked meals and a free glass of wine at dinner.

Emperor Explorer is a great choice for divers who want to explore the Maldives' amazing underwater world. You can pick from different itineraries, such as the 'Best of the Maldives', which covers the most famous dive sites in the North and South Male Atolls and Ari Atoll, or the 'Hanifaru & North', which lets you snorkel with huge mantas in the bay. The diving is done from a spacious dhoni, which makes it easy to get ready and reach the dive sites. Nitrox is free for qualified divers.
