This was our best liveaboard so far. The boat is very spacious, comfortable and very tastefully furnished. Not cramped like on so many other boats.

A super ship, a great ship crew, super guides! The ship is simply beautiful and in good shape, we have rarely been so comfortable from dive site to dive site! The food was great, it always tasted good and the service team was on their toes. The bar was also well stocked and the barman knew what he was doing ;) We had a lot of fun with the guides, the free concept in terms of dive planning really impressed and pleased us old hands! The captain delivered a super route, at almost all hotspots we were almost alone. Overall all available thumbs up!!! Well done!

If Red Sea then only Omneia. The only thing more beautiful is the Omneia Soul.
Very individual diving for all with appropriate skills, even with Dekogas for very fair extra charge. Food with rather little choice and very European, but always good. What other liveaboard serves steak or beef roulades?

Since Moni was not on board, Daniel took over the "safari management". Always in a good mood and also for non-diving needs, such as nightly ravenous hunger, always there.

Booking via Rosi in the office super easy, endeavored and rheinisch friendly.

Only the new daily schedules after the time change were suboptimal. Dinner at 18:30 and then night dive at 20:00.
For this, the Omneia team of course nothing, but who is satisfied with 3 TGs a day has less time pressure.

Big plus: The arrival and departure is not as rigid as with other boats. Who flies later can still stay on board and there is even a lunch, very pleasant!

This was our third time at Spirit, and our second this year.
What can we report?
Actually would be sufficient: We always come back, but that is just not enough.
Moni and her entire crew are simply like a,, feel-good package,,.
There is always a great, family atmosphere, whether it is the guides, board crew, kitchen crew, etc., you feel welcome.
The individual needs of the divers are taken care of and even if there should be a problem, a solution is always found.
We were previously a week on the Soul, also a mega ship, with a lot of love, passion and great ambitions connected.
Moni just has a knack for it and gave us with her crew again a wonderful vacation.
We will come again next year and have chosen both ships as our ,, regular ships,,.
Here's to many more tours together.
Best regards to Eslam and Maged.

Our first liveaboard on the Onmeia Spirit was an unforgettable experience.
Our expectations were more than exceeded, because the organization (many thanks to Moni and Rosi), the care by the crew (schukran to Ibrahim, Ali, Gauad, Gamal, Maged, Mohammad, Sisi, Captain Tama, Eslam, Remon and all others), the food (sahtein to Mahmut and his kitchen crew), our dive guide (best guide ever: Eslam) was just perfect, wonderful, excellent, warm and dreamlike.
We felt so comfortable and were surprised every day what was offered to us!
We will definitely go on a liveaboard with you again! Thank you very much for this wonderful trip.

Really excellent - Hakuna Matata
There is no better way to spend your diving vacation. It is this feeling of spending your free time with friends that makes the trips with Omneia so unique. The cordiality of the entire boat crew and of course of the guides must be praised at this point without reservation.

Cabin good, clean, faaaunktional. The room was very clean, clean and comfortable.
Food very varied and consistently delicious. Some highlights like lasagna.
Positively expressed: Dive guides gave the divers a lot of freedom. However, I 1did not feel that the guides wanted to show their guests the ins and outs of the Red Sea. The dive sites chosen were okay but - perhaps due to the discreet way the guides led the dives - with few highlights. Three of the night dives were very good.
Overall conclusion: Spirit of Omneia is definitely recommended.

We were on the Omneia Spirit for the first time after several liveaboards. The ship is well thought out and safety is very important. The entire crew was absolutely top and has thus contributed to a super holiday. The anticyclical approach to the dive sites has fortunately often led to the fact that we were quite alone at the dive sites. All in all a successful holiday. We are already looking forward to the next safari with the Omneia.

Even though it was our coldest liveaboard, 5 stars - the boat can't help the weather ;)
Very nice, big boat, very well equipped - except for the dive deck, which is rather narrow, even if the divers get ready in 4 groups.
Dinner is served outside - with specialties like fondue and grilled seafood and barbaque on the beach.
The boat also has 2 things that are unique to safari boats: an extremely good, super trained masseur available to the divers (for little money). And an on-board dog, which unfortunately was not allowed on our boat.
Is for us one of the top boats in the red sea

We were on the Sharkschool trip (BDE) from 21.10.-28.10.2021.
The whole trip was a dream. The ship is spacious, spotlessly clean, tastefully and comfortably furnished - just beautiful to fall in love with. The food is super delicious, the crew always on hand, helpful and attentive. Sure, the dive sites were overcrowded...but now that we are vaccinated and can travel more easily again, is that any wonder? Everyone wants to dive again and BDE is now a popular route. The guides were great and we had lots of great diving experiences.
The divers on board, who were complete strangers at first, quickly got together and understood each other very well. We talked and laughed a lot, Murphy's Law was also fulfilled: Someone is always annoying :-)
About the Sharkschool seminar:
Anna made the Sharkschool seminar super interesting, lively, emotional and very authentic. Erich would have been very proud of her! She was always there for all questions and also during the common dives she conveyed security and calmness in dealing with the sharks. We were able to debrief all situations and the behavior of the divers and sharks. For Anna therefore a 1+ with ****
By the way, we were in good health and this applies to 99% of the divers on board :-) Who would like to have a new towel should announce this. That works out.
We can recommend a trip on the Spirit of Omneia to 100% and come back in any case.

The Omneia Spirit stands out from the crowd in many ways. The interior is tasteful, spacious and you can feel the signature of a woman everywhere. It's the little details like colorful accents, comfortable seating and lounging, bright and friendly lounges inside and outside that make the stay even more pleasant.
Upon check-in, each guest receives his or her own water bottle, which can be refilled at any time from the numerous water dispensers. In addition, coffee, tea and soft drinks are available free of charge at all times. Those who wish can bring their own coffee pods; corresponding espresso machines are always available. Additional wishes such as wine, beer, long drinks or "stronger" drinks can be consumed with an uncomplicated tally list and at very fair prices.
The cabins with panorama windows are generously laid out, offer sufficient storage space, are tastefully furnished and air-conditioned. There are enough sockets for mobile phones, tablets, etc. available. For charging cameras, lamps, batteries, etc., use the specially designed central facility in the middle of the ship.
From the small kitchen, the guys conjure up market-fresh and varied dishes - especially cheese spaetzle and lasagna ;-) -. From breakfast to snacks, lunch and dinner, it is not only always very tasty, but also lovingly and appetizingly arranged and abundant. We had among others vegetarians and vegans on board; the kitchen also coped with these concerns. The "Zvieri" after the afternoon dive is culinary and optically almost legendary and makes even me - as a not really sweet eating - regularly weak.
I could go on and on... it's just a great boat with an equally great, helpful, friendly and humorous crew. The guys do a hell of a job making us feel comfortable. For me it is always a bit like coming home!

I was very satisfied, the crew and guides are very attentive and accommodating. We were on Deadalus 22 boats which caused a lot of traffic under water. The Sharkschool with Anna was very informative and very emotional, she does it with heart and soul. It was a very nice adventure with my buddies.

Good day, this was my first liveaboard and there is quite a bit (nice and not so nice) to report. (e.g. there were not even fresh towels, although in the documents it said that there would be even twice new shower towels. Also, more than half the people were sick. I was still very sick in bed three days after the trip ended).
I would love to give a personal feedback also about the nice things and look forward to your call.

Everything optimal on one of the best boats in the Red Sea. Daedalus overrun with (corona) starved divers. Lots of bubbles in the water and little shark. Unforgettable :-) But unfortunately this can not be better organized by the organizer. Nice tour with many great dives. Absolutely recommendable.

- Hand/shower towel was not changed.
- Dive planning could have been a little more predictable for me. One knew only at the briefing how deep this goes. But to know that was necessary before, to decide whether to fill the tank with nitrox or compressed air.
- The carafes and the drinking water dispensers could have been cleaned in between. In the carafes, the pouring spout was no longer hygienic.

The ship is fine. The cabins are large enough. The only thing missing is a storage space for the suitcases. The crew, dive guides, the guests, the atmosphere on board everything great, has fit perfectly. Only the timing at the swap spots could have been better. It's just no fun when hundreds of other divers are under water at the same time.

The week Safari "Ü50" with Moni, Hatschi and your guys was consistently great! Of course, other organizers (Golden Dolphin, Blue,..) offer a very good service and super boats. But with Moni on the Spirit of Omneia is so many things even a bit better. :)
On which other boat in the Red Sea do you get freshly baked pretzels every morning? In the evening bread dumplings, french. Onion soup... ? Exactly.
In addition, there is the very flexible execution of the dives. Everything very relaxed and to the joy of the guests.
Moni, if you read this:
Thank you very much for a fantastic week with great dives, a lot of fun on board and a culinary that destroys every diet.
All the best and see you soon
Best regards from Pasing

Booked a week north tour, Ras Mohammed/ Strait of Tiran/Dahab.

The ship and the crew were very good. The guides very customer-oriented, not pushy or patronizing, yet always there and had the group in mind.
The accommodation in the twink cabin was very good and left nothing to be desired.
The dive spots were mostly reefs with two wreck dives in between. So it was to be expected with the route also not differently.
The procedures on board, especially the service for dinner, as well as the WLAN on board, there is certainly still potential for improvement.
Nevertheless, a very successful liveaboard, on which I was not bored. Overall I give the tour 9/10 points.

The extremely spacious, modern Spirit leaves nothing to be desired. The entire crew around Moni is incredibly attentive, courteous and spares no special work such as BBQ on land or the like.

Pure diving and vacation at the highest level. BRAVO

After almost 15 months finally back on the Omneia with Moni and her wonderful team. Had a dream time - there is really (really!) Nothing to complain about - the Omneia is a dream ship - but without the precious souls of Moni and the entire team - especially Mikel and Tamar you feel very much. Kitchen and service just FANTASTIC - come back in September - in Shallah!

Great ship with excellent food and a very helpful crew that is immediately on hand when you need help. Also the dive guides are great. For me a little too many wreck dives at one place three times the same wreck, but at Ras Mohamed only one dive. All in all a great experience and can only recommend this ship to everyone.

The motto Ü-50-Safari "Everything can, nothing must" was true. The south tour also offers the corresponding dive sites that require only a few trips with the Zodiac. Whoever wanted could be dropped off at the outer reef. The dive was then arranged in such a way that a return to the boat was possible. Only on 2 dives the way back to the boat was again connected with a Zodiac entry because of the distance. But also here there was the possibility of a dive from the diving platform, so that who did not want to drive a Zodiac could dive.
As an Ü-60-participant I found this liveaboard very pleasant and since there was a couple (both 72 years) that was also very happy with the dive sites I would like to plead to make more offers for the older diving generation, we do not have to prove anything more :-).

I think such a "Ü-50-Dive-Safari" fits into the time.
I would be happy if there would be a suitable tour again next year.

Stay healthy.
Jürgen

Perfect from A-Z. Nothing to complain about except the small detail that you can't pay by credit card on the boat and there is hardly any change when you have to pay the bill at the end.

I go on safari to the Red Sea twice a year and have been on various boats. The Spirit of Omneia was my first time on the Spirit of Omneia and this boat will be my absolute favourite in the future. That Moni Hofbauer had a weighty word when building the boat and especially when furnishing it, you notice immediately. Enormous space for all divers available. Everything furnished with love and style. Large berths even with own refrigerator. Huge dive deck where everyone passes each other. Top service and extremely friendly crew. With Moni and Sven two absolute professionals who make diving an experience. What more can I say. For me the Spirit of Omneia will be the first choice in the future. Many thanks to Moni, Sven and the crew.

On the Omneia we had a great holiday. The entry into the country worked out without any problems. Shortly after getting off the plane everybody had to show the filled out health card (will be distributed in the plane, we already received it from you) and the covidtest. I forgot my covid test in paper at home (put it in the wrong folder), but then I simply showed the Egyptian official my mobile phone, there I had the mail from the lab, whereupon I was waved through without any problems. As we saw then at the airport in Hurghada, the Egyptians are well equipped with thermal imaging cameras and test stations. The other passengers were actually the biggest problem, but even there most of them kept their distance and wore masks. On the way there the plane was well loaded (about 80%), on the way back we were picked up with an A330, which had much more space and was about half loaded. In Hurghada we were the only plane that took off at that time, the airport was empty.

Transfer from and to the boat was as usual. The Omneia is a great ship that really leaves nothing to be desired. On the huge boat with many berths you always find a place for yourself if you want to. The master cabin offered a great panoramic view and is very spacious and comfortable. During the briefing there were always several options presented, from which each buddy team could then choose their dive, that was a huge plus and I have never had that before. Also the fact that dinner is served outside was wonderful. The fact that the owner personally goes on board is something special and gives the boat a personality that the other boats cannot match (I have been on several different boats). Moreover, even the Zodiac and boat crew speaks German, so in the end you really know the whole crew by name.
We were able to enjoy the Brothers and Daedalus, where normally 25 boats or even more are moored, alone or almost alone, which was of course unique.
Back in Zurich we made a Covid test directly at the airport and had the result 24 hours later. Since Egypt is not on the Swiss risk list, I didn't really have to do one, but I wanted to be on the safe side because of the work. We did not have to do a quarantine or anything like that.

All in all, our conclusion is that if you do not belong to the risk group, you can travel to Egypt very well from our point of view even in the current situation. Sure, you have to take the Covid test, but you will be rewarded with the best dive sites on the Red Sea that you have for yourself. A unique chance.

"Sensational" probably best describes the Spirit of Omneia! Through Corona and Moni's kindness I was allowed to inhabit the ship for almost 4 weeks and experience a legendary time I will never forget! Also other boats look nice but due to the love for detail and the functional practical areas there is no increase for me. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel on the Red Sea and did not pay a fortune for it.
Whether it's the greenery of real plants, the high quality and comfortable seating, the comfortable cabins with panoramic views from the bathroom and sleeping area, the rich and incredibly delicious meals in the dining room and every evening under the stars...the Spirit of Omneia is the best boat on the Red Sea for me! I love it! 1000% to recommend it!!

One week on the Spirit of Omneia -
Egypt has been my second home for more than 20 years. After I had done my mischief there many years ago as a dive guide and instructor, I have seen a lot of boats come and go. As a convinced Omneia-booker it was clear to me - this boat is exactly mine. I am thrilled. Not only from the unbelievable amount of space - I especially appreciate the large cabins with lots of daylight, as most of the cabins are on the upper decks - but also from the service of the whole crew and simply the "spirit" of the ship. The name really says it all here, Moni has turned a "big barge" into a cosy safari ship with charisma, without clean overstyling. You simply feel at home - once you have got the different decks under control.

The crew is particularly noteworthy. A well-rehearsed team that literally reads every wish from your eyes and is always on hand when it's freezing cold around the ears after the TG and you want to hang up your suit in the icy cold February wind. You can't turn around that quickly, but the suit is taken out of your hand and hung up. But - never pushy - that is very important to me personally.

We all agree during this week - the chef should be sued! The food was so much and much too good that I actually skipped one or the other meal because I was still too full and I wanted to keep the "hip damage" within reasonable limits.

3 dives per day - if necessary one more night TG - this is almost standard by now. I am satisfied with 3 TGs thick - while the others go back into the water I prefer to order a cocktail and enjoy the ship on one of the comfortable sofas on the upper deck. The bar is well sorted, it's definitely not worth bringing something for yourself.

A highlight of the day is the dinner at the long table outside on the upper deck. All guests at one table, often we stay seated and rattle until the dolls, that's how comfortable it is there. Every evening is culinary under a different motto, so there was from steak (to the point!!) with hand-scraped Spätzle over shrimps and fish up to the oriental evening with very good Egyptian food variety without end.

Moni and the dive guides Michael and Hasan of course do a great job when diving - you can dive guided, but you don't have to. We are only experienced divers on board, but we do enjoy diving behind the boat and don't care where it is. At least I do...

To the reef selection - Moni has always been good at timing, so we are usually alone on the reef, only divers from the Spirit in the water - very pleasant.
Most of the time we go to the reef with one of the two Zodiacs, which are also immediately on the spot when surfacing, and even less agile, not starving divers like me shuffle into the Zodiac with the least embarrassment ... how they do it will be a mystery to me forever!

Conclusion - it was a fantastic week, even though the water is still fresh in February. But the Spirit on the Spirit of Omneia makes up for everything. I can only recommend it to everyone to experience this spirit for themselves. You will not regret it!


In any case, I am looking forward like a schnitzel to the 10-day tour in October!

I attended Spirit three times last year. Before that, I had the opportunity to gain extensive experience on at least 15 other safari boats. The boat is unique. Starting with the huge amount of space everywhere, over the brilliant boat owner who is usually on board as a guide herself, to the hand-picked crew. For me the best boat in the Red Sea

As usual first-class Omneia service, the team is super busy and tries to fulfill all your wishes.
This is what a liveaboard must be like.
Super spacious, very good water conditions. The solution with dining room in the lower deck is very good. If the weather is suitable, we always dine outside. A lot of effort for the crew, brilliant added value for the fellow travellers. I give my unrestricted recommendation. The only criticism: because of the perfect package, we don't really feel like not choosing the Spirit and Omneia anymore.
