Emperor Divers is launching a new Southern Red Sea Family Adventure, a liveaboard itinerary created from the ground up to allow families of different ages and diving abilities to experience the Red Sea together.
The first departure will take place aboard Emperor Asmaa on August 21, 2027, with a 7-night itinerary combining diving, snorkeling, marine life encounters and educational activities.
Rather than adapting a traditional dive-focused liveaboard to accommodate children, Emperor has developed the schedule, route and activities specifically around families spending time together.
The itinerary will feature later starts, shorter sailings and mainly coastal dive sites, creating a more relaxed schedule than a traditional Red Sea liveaboard. Typically, there will be three dives per day rather than four, alongside regular opportunities for snorkeling and activities onboard.
A major focus will be on the wildlife of the Southern Red Sea, with opportunities to connect with wild spinner dolphins, encounter green turtles and explore coral reefs, swim-throughs and smaller wrecks. The schedule will remain flexible to maximize wildlife opportunities.
The itinerary is designed for families with a mixture of experience levels, including certified divers, young divers, beginners and snorkelers. Children can join from the age of eight, while Bubblemaker and Discover Scuba Diving experiences will be available for those who are not yet certified. Approximately 85% of the sites visited also offer snorkeling, helping non-divers share many of the same experiences as diving family members.
Marine education will also form an important part of the week. Informal presentations, practical activities and a shared marine life sightings challenge will encourage families to learn more about the species they encounter and explore the Red Sea together.
The small-group nature of the trip is another important element. Emperor Asmaa has just 18 berths, creating a truly personal experience both onboard and in the water.
As with all Emperor Divers liveaboards, the Southern Red Sea Family Adventure will be covered by the company’s No Hidden Extras promise. Marine park fees, port and harbor fees, Nitrox and fuel charges are included in the advertised trip price.
