The ship, the service and everything was perfect.
Due to the very warm water, the corals are very damaged, so there are no small fish and the biodiversity is no longer there.

Too bad you can't rate the dhoni. Although the safari was great all in all, the pollution caused by the dhoni (loss of masses of fuel in the sea) is absolutely unacceptable.

The bathroom in the lower deck cabins is also a clear minus point in terms of smell.

The transfer from the hotel to the ship did not work as planned. The trip from the hotel to the airport was at my expense (6 US$).
At the airport I waited in vain for an Emperor employee at the agreed time. But then found the ship myself.
The cabins (lower deck) are large, but offer little storage space. The wet room (bathroom/toilet) is generously sized. Fresh water sufficient, no shortage.
Service and cleanliness ok.
Diving safe and ok.
Itinerary could possibly be modified slightly. South Ari Atoll would be desirable.
Friendliness and helpfulness of the crew was good (especially in the dining/bar area). Could be a little better on the dhoni.
Food (European with a South Asian touch) was great!
The focus of the trip was on the canals and that was the right time every time.
Sharks/large fish without end. Since I have been to the Maldives every 2 years so far, I can say: increase (possibly due to protective measures).
Also worth mentioning: Happy hour, therefore low drinks costs.
With the Emperor Divers, I'd love to go again!

Upon arrival I was asked how many dives I had done. These were asked a few weeks before departure by Divingworld.nl.
This trip could only be booked from 100 dives or more. This was never really made clear to me. I had 63 at the time.
It is that I have a lot of experience with currents in Raja Ampat and Komodo. Otherwise, this would not have been a fun diving trip for me.

It was very nice, the crew is absolutely great and very interested in the guest having a good time on board. The lower cabins probably have the well-known problem of smelling of diesel for several days after refueling, here the tank ventilation should be changed.

Unforgettable !!! Super CREW on the Dony and great dive guides and at every dive was super enjoyable. Every dive went especially with a solid briefing with presentations.

It was really a great liveaboard. The crew was very dedicated and the food was top.
Unfortunately, the diving dohni had a defect and could not be mended for 4 days. There were several changes of plan. Also the Virgo is engine-technically certainly no longer in top condition. There one should go over it. In addition, there was the problem of bed bugs in one room.

Only annoying thing was that I arrived at 7:00 and we couldn't get on the dingi until 12:00. That was 5 extra hours I had to sit out and was quite tired the first day.
Of course I understand that they have to clean the boat, but would have loved it if we could have gotten rid of our luggage. It is a potential point of improvement and not a heavy criticism.

In terms of vegetarian food, it was three carbs. No problem, but white rice without a sauce is not so good. I also don't want to grab the sauce that was prepared in meat. Just a separate sauce for something like that would have made the rice more appealing

My 6th liveaboard Maldives, for the first time on the Emperor Virgo. Fine boat, with a fairly small group, namely a maximum of 18 guests. The food was really fantastic every meal! The briefings were clear, (dive) safety was well emphasized and monitored. What is nice is the commitment to the ecosystem, they provide shampoo, shower stuff and sunscreen that is reef friendly. I'll book the next trip through Diving World on the Virgo in no time.

Did not have the idea that at the dive sites in the Maldives (as in the Red Sea) are sometimes simultaneously 4 or even more other diving ships with corresponding additional divers. That has surprised me yet.

We enjoyed the liveaboard immensely.
We made beautiful dives and saw a lot!
We had a super dive guide (Nihed).
There was a lot of variation in the food and it was really good!
The rooms were fine, only a pity that it was so humid ( but that was because of the weather).

Good ship, food good and the crew is also super, great diving dohni. Cabins :Bathroom large, mirror left and right of the lavabo, somewhat inconvenient. Cabin otherwise rather small, no shelves in the closet. Since I did not have to share the cabin, it was ok.diving: Because of bad weather, with some exceptions, not the best places seen, but that's just nature.

The Corona test at departure is a joke! The test employee did not even properly take a swab. I guess they didn't want any positive results. All 5 Swiss were negative and then 4 of them positive at home. One could have also immediately issued a negative report if one wants that the tourists can leave.
