About Emperor Superior

Built by Divers for Outstanding Red Sea Adventures

Emperor Superior is a purpose-built liveaboard created by divers who understand what makes a comfortable and rewarding week at sea. Operating throughout the year in the Egyptian Red Sea, she combines well-organised dive facilities, comfortable accommodation and spacious relaxation areas with access to an exciting selection of reefs, wrecks and offshore dive sites.

The vessel welcomes up to 26 guests in 13 air-conditioned staterooms across four cabin categories. Every cabin features a private ensuite bathroom, individually controlled air conditioning and practical storage space, providing a comfortable retreat after a full day in the water.

Life between dives is equally relaxed. The spacious, air-conditioned saloon includes an entertainment system, while freshly prepared meals are served in the welcoming dining area. At the front of the main deck, an open-air lounge provides an inviting place to enjoy a drink, watch for dolphins or exchange stories with fellow guests. Two sundecks with comfortable loungers offer additional space for relaxing beneath the Egyptian sun.

Emperor Superior is particularly well equipped for underwater photographers. Dedicated camera stations, convenient charging areas and separate rinse tanks provide a practical and secure environment for preparing and maintaining photographic equipment throughout the cruise.

The spacious dive deck offers individual equipment storage and generous room for guests to prepare comfortably. Two dive tenders support efficient transfers to sites that cannot be reached directly from the vessel. Week-long itineraries may include more than 21 dives, allowing enthusiastic divers to make the most of their time in the Red Sea. Complimentary Nitrox is included for certified divers.

Straightforward pricing is another important advantage. 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 red wine with dinner add further value to an already comprehensive liveaboard experience.

With her diver-focused layout, excellent facilities for photographers and generous programme of diving, Emperor Superior is a dependable and welcoming base for exploring the remarkable underwater landscapes of the Egyptian Red Sea.

Lunch & Dinner: Typically include a choice of meat, chicken, fish, pasta, rice, or potato dishes, accompanied by fresh vegetable platters, local and international salads, and soups or desserts for dinner. Dietary Options: Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, and the menu reflects local Egyptian flavors alongside international favorites. Snacks All DayCookies, crisps/chips, cakes, biscuits, and fresh fruit are set out throughout the day and between dives. No Pork: As Egypt is a Muslim-majority country, pork products are not served on board.
