Emperor Asmaa is a welcoming liveaboard built by divers for divers and designed around the practical needs of an active week at sea. Accommodating just 20 guests, she offers a relaxed and sociable atmosphere supported by the experienced Emperor team and its established standards of service and safety.
Accommodation is provided in ten comfortable twin cabins, including six on the lower deck and four on the upper deck. Every cabin features individually controlled air conditioning, useful storage space and a private ensuite bathroom, providing guests with a comfortable place to rest after the day’s diving.
The bright, modern indoor saloon and dining room form the social heart of the vessel. Three buffet-style meals are served each day, combining Egyptian flavours with familiar international dishes. Complimentary red wine accompanies dinner, while outdoor lounges, beanbags and sun loungers provide inviting spaces to enjoy the sea breeze and relax between dives.
A spacious dive deck at the stern offers generous room for preparing equipment and storing personal gear. Complimentary Nitrox is included for suitably certified divers, helping guests make the most of the extensive diving programme.
Week-long itineraries depart from Hurghada or Port Ghalib and explore a broad range of Red Sea environments. Northern routes combine colourful reefs with renowned historic wrecks, while southern journeys venture towards remote sites such as St John’s. Selected Deep South itineraries may offer up to 21 dives in one week, with opportunities for exciting reef, wall and pelagic encounters, including the possibility of seeing sharks.
Emperor Asmaa also offers reassuringly transparent pricing. Port charges, fuel costs and marine park fees are included, with no additional itinerary or fuel surcharges added later. Complimentary Wi-Fi, subject to local connectivity, and wine with dinner provide further value.
With her intimate capacity, practical diving facilities and experienced crew, Emperor Asmaa is an appealing choice for divers who want to explore the Egyptian Red Sea in a friendly and comfortably informal setting.
