Should I choose to stay on the liveaboard or the island first?

You may choose whether you wish to stay on the liveaboard or the island first. It is purely a personal preference.

Can I join the liveaboard in the middle of a trip?

No, you may not join the liveaboard in the middle of a trip. You must join and leave the boat on the set sailing dates shown in the schedule. MV Sea Queen and MV Sea Spirit operate a schedule of 7 and 12 night departures, we do not offer trips of less than 7 nights except in the case of full boat charters.

Can I organise to be picked up from my island by the liveaboard?

Guests arrive to the boat from a variety of flights and islands and unfortunately, it is impossible to pick up passengers directly from their various resorts. Guests need to transfer back to the airport to join the liveaboard.

Can I stay any number of days on the island resort?

We can arrange your holiday to include any number of nights on a resort island either before, or after your liveaboard trip (or both)

Can non-divers stay on the liveaboard?

Non-divers often stay on the liveaboards and enjoy cruising the atolls of the Maldives.

Can you arrange liveaboard/island holidays excluding the flights?

Yes, no problem! Please ask us for prices excluding flights.
