Cabins are spread over 3 decks and have double or twin beds, private en-suite bathrooms, and individually controlled AC. Upper-deck cabins also have large picture windows and amazing sea views.
The main deck of the Emperor Virgo is home to the large indoor salon with an entertainment area and dining room. The upper deck has an outdoor terrace, bar, and an al-fresco dining area to enjoy the delicious cuisine and gorgeous scenery. Meals combine international and local dishes; a free glass of wine is included with dinner. The sun deck has comfortable loungers and offers a relaxing space to unwind between dives.
All dives from the Emperor Virgo yacht take place from the accompanying dhoni, which gives plenty of room for kitting up and gear storage and makes getting to and from the dive sites easy.

1st time with Emperor fleet and I am impressed with the professionalism!
The diving experience is not the best as expected in Maldives but I guess its just luck sometimes. Otherwise, the entire trip experience has been almost perfect. Food is good, and the BBQ food on the beach is excellent!

Amazing, can’t wait to go again!!
This was an excellent first live aboard experience, it will be hard to top for subsequent others! We saw fantastical coral gardens, swam with dolphins, all manner of beautiful fish, huge manta rays on several occasions (night and day), saw whale sharks on multiple occasions (from the boat and while in the water). Honestly, I can’t think of how the experience could’ve been improved. The food was plentiful and delicious, lots of local & spicy options, as well as more (bland), American/European fare. Dive platform was perfect: well maintained equipment in excellent condition, plenty of space to kit up, individual stations to store your personal equipment. Briefings were incredibly thorough, even down to showing underwater maps of each site we visited, so we always knew what to expect. Schedule required early starts, but the day was well-planned out. Will go again with them within the next 2 years.

Nice week in the indian ocean
I had a great time during my trip, the crew made sure that we all were well looked after specially with food allergies and intolerances always with a big smile. The cabins were always very well looked after and the beds very comfortable. The dive guides were very friendly and polite, although the cruise director was very challenging. To improve: the boat need renovations as the furniture is old and worn out. The outside areas are not very comfortable for socializing which could be improved. The first aid kit was really poor and not prepared to react with cuts and other injuries so it should certainly be updated.
