Great experience - above and below the water
We had a great week (early October 2025) with Martina as Cruise Director. Dive guides were Agu and Ali. The 3 know the Maldives and the individual dive spots very well and always had the right timing. In addition to many reef fish, we were able to observe schools of rays, eagle rays, manta rays, various sharks and even a whale shark. The Princess Dhonkamana also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights. There was always fresh fish, Italian pasta, homemade bread, cakes & frog's fruit. Very positive and not a matter of course: allergies and intolerances are taken into account by the kitchen team when planning the menu. For our son there was always an extra portion of gluten-free pasta and gluten-free bread. Many thanks to the whole team - we would love to come back.

Awesome adventure!
Excellent. Should note however this is a predominantly Italian boat so be prepared if not an Italian speaker (although all guides speak English too). Food is all Italian - would be nice to have some local Maldivian food on occasion too. Other than this, trip was perfect, diving awesome. Great crew on board, Super welcoming and friendly, very well organised. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
