Fantastic food and complimentary red wine with dinner come as standard, along with free Nitrox and Wi-Fi, when in signal.

Emperor Echo sails a variety itineraries dependant on the season, to offer guests the best diving options. Northern routes include the Famous Five cruise where divers will visit the most famous wreck in the Red Sea, SS Thistlegorm, along with the Ras Mohamed National Park and The Brothers Islands. Red Sea Sharks is a popular choice for those looking for some shark action, the open itinerary offers flexibility, with the focus being on getting to wherever the best shark encounters are likely, even if that means a last-minute change of direction!

This really is a great value liveaboard and ideal for group trips. There are always at least two professional dive guides on hand, and a crew whose priority is to ensure everyone has a safe and happy holiday, full of memories that last forever. If you are yet to experience a liveaboard diving holiday you can expect to eat, sleep, dive, repeat, and we strongly recommend Emperor as they go the extra mile from start to finish.
