I recently did two liveaboards with Emperor, on Emperor Elite (Red Sea Sharks, covering Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone) and Emperor Superior (Famous Five). Both were wonderful experiences. The boats are very comfortable, food is really great, the staff is nice and very professional, and the guides are terrific. Due to current travel restrictions, there were fewer divers than usual in both boats, but the company ran the trips anyway, keeping quality and trying to make everyone's week as peefect as possible. It was an opportunity for making wonderful dives (less crowded than usual!!!) and some friends. Special thanks go to Hany and Saad (the dive guides), who are really nice and passionate about their jobs. Both liveaboards were flawless in all aspects.

The Emperor Raja Laut is newly renovated and it is in beautiful shape. The day-to-day operations including dives were run smoothly. The crew were all really helpful and friendly. Lee was always ready to make our meals pleasant and was responsive to any needs. All the crew took turns helping with entering and exiting the dinghies, handling the equipment, and making our dives great. Sophie and Flo were superb hosts and divemasters. I loved that they sat with us for meals and hung around chatting with us when they didn't have tasks to do. I felt like they became friends. My luggage including dive gear all got left behind in Bali, and I was supplied with very new rental gear. I felt very supported as people chipped in to lend me things that I normally would have had. As for the diving, the sites were great! The reefs were some of the healthiest I've seen. Flo, Sophie, and Downey were very clear and specific about dive plans, entries, dealing with currents, etc. I was in Sophie's group, and I was amazed and grateful for her ability to spot the smallest little macro creatures and still keep an eye on the blue. I had a fabulous week and highly recommend the boat and the Komodo itinerary.
A bit of a late review but I thought I'd still have to report my experience here. I dived with Emperor back in July 2015. Did the 7 nights LOB aboard the Elite for what I believe was the Only The Best circuit (Elphinstone, Daedalus, Brothers). From questions before booking, to the booking process, the transfer, the boat, the staff, crew, etc.... everything went so smoothly. Most importantly is there are no hidden costs, everything is black on white and you know what you are getting or what it's gonna cost you. The diving was great, experienced and friendly staff. The food was amazing on the boat, thumbs up for the cooks! So happy with them that I'll be diving with them again but this time in Sharm. Can only recommend them!
What a fantastic yacht
I just returned from a nine day live aboard on the Emperor Raja Laut in Indonesia... What a great experience that was!!! Nine days aboard a beautiful 30 meter sailing schooner was an absolute experience of a life time. I had chosen this particular boat from the prior experiences diving with Emperor Divers in the Red Sea and when I saw they had a new operation in Indonesia, I was certain that I would be treated right and attended to by a great crew. I was not disappointed at all. It was a big trip for me as I was coming all the way from California but I had always wanted to dive in Indonesia. I wasn't disappointed at all!!! Everything about the trip was outstanding from the diving to the great food and crew. I had a nicely appointed state room to myself that had plenty of room and was attended to daily. Aboard the schooner was one of the finest crews I have ever come across in my 35 years of diving. They were super nice and very attentive. I think there were a dozen crew members in addition to the staff from Emperor. The dive guides were top quality and everyone was super helpful. As to food, what a nice variety of different courses every day. The cook was top notch and the deckhands were super accommodating to all of us. I am already looking to book a return visit to this boat next year and will hope to have another great experience.
We had a wonderful trip on Emperor Superior. We did the Famous Five tour in May 2017, diving the most famous reefs and wrecks in the Northern Reef Sea. It is hard to find fault with the trip, as the food was amazing, the crew very professional, the boat extremely comfortable and the diving unbelievable. We know we will be back to explore more of the Red Sea with Emperor Divers.
Me and my husband joined Raja Laut in a fantastic trip in Wasai-Sorong, Raj Ampat. Wonderful boat and crew. Amazing dive sites with great dive guides. A special thanks for Sophie, Flo and Guillaume. If we’re looking for a bit of everything with a lot of colour - this is the place. It is not our first time in an Emperor liveaboard as we also chose this company in the Red Sea which we also recommend specially if you can join Sonia.
