About Emperor Explorer®

Explorer Ventures, in partnership with Emperor Maldives, launched MV Emperor Explorer in 2019. It is the model of lavish liveaboards and at 42 m (138 ft), a dream vessel for avid divers from all over the world. Emperor Explorer’s four decks easily accommodate 13 spacious and well-appointed en-suite staterooms, all of which offer air-conditioning and a mixture of comfortable king, queen, and twin beds.
While onboard Emperor Explorer, enjoy five-star meals and a complimentary glass of wine with dinner in the open-air dining area or air-conditioned saloon.
