Blue Seas
Liveaboard
Diving experience
The M/Y Blue Seas is the sister ship of the M/Y Blue Pearl and was built in 2004, boasting an impressive 42 meters in length.
All the experience gained from building the Blue Planet fleet's first luxury liveaboard went into the M/Y Blue Seas.
This allowed us to improve and increase not only various details but also the size and space available.
With its excellent interior and exterior features, the M/Y Blue Seas is now the ultimate vessel in the fleet and
sets new standards for comfort, service, and safety.

Routes and availability
The M/Y Blue Seas sails all the most famous and popular routes from North to South. This includes the classic North and Wreck Route, plus the Marine Parks of Brothers, Daedalus, Rocky & Zabargad.
For more detailed info on routes, dates & availability, you can find it in the overview listed above, or feel free to ask anytime via office@maldivesandmore.com.
Here are a few route descriptions:
North & Wrecks
This is probably the most classic of all liveaboard tours offered in the Red Sea. North of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits into two arms: the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. The Strait of Gubal serves as the entrance to the Gulf of Suez. Since the opening of the Suez Canal, this area has been heavily trafficked. Because of the many reefs and islands, the Strait of Gubal is considered tricky to navigate.
North & Tiran
Just like the North and Wreck liveaboard tours, you'll visit the fascinating wrecks and reefs in the north here. The untouched coral reefs of Tiran are the absolute highlight. Tiran is located at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and consists of four main reefs that form the tip of an underwater bridge to the mainland.
North & Brothers
Experience the fascination of the wrecks in the north and the Brother Islands. North of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits into two arms: the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez.
The Strait of Gubal serves as the entrance to the Gulf of Suez. Since the opening of the Suez Canal, this area has been heavily trafficked. Because of the many reefs and islands, the Strait of Gubal is considered tricky to navigate. This has already spelled disaster for many ships.
Who hasn't heard of the 4 wrecks of Abu Nuhas, or the Rosalie Moller and Thistlegorm?
Brother Island
Brothers – the islands, a true icon for every diver. These two islands, exposed right in the middle of the Red Sea, are among the best and most challenging dive sites in the Red Sea. Strong currents here create fantastic flora and fauna. Encounters with sharks and large fish are common here.
Brother & Elphinstone
Brothers – the islands, a true icon for every diver. These two islands, exposed right in the middle of the Red Sea, are among the best and most challenging dive sites in the Red Sea. Very strong currents here create fantastic flora and fauna. Encounters with sharks and large fish are common here. This is one of the best liveaboard trips in the Red Sea.
This route, which includes Elphinstone, offers the chance to see an Oceanic Whitetip shark, especially if your trip starts or ends in Port Ghalib.
Daedalus & Fury Shoal
Daedalus is an isolated reef in the open sea, almost halfway to Saudi Arabia. The reef is guarded by a lighthouse, which is the only marker on the horizon for many kilometers in any direction. The reef has steep walls. On the east, north, and south sides, it's perfect for experienced divers. Here, there's a great chance to see schools of hammerhead sharks in the northeast.
Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone
Explore three of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea. A great all-around trip for divers with a bit more experience. There's so much to see, you'll be spoiled for choice! This liveaboard offers challenging dives, huge drop-offs, beautiful coral walls, and lots of big fish. Liveaboards to Brother Islands, Daedalus & Elphinstone are a must for all hardcore Red Sea divers!
Daedalus, Zabargad & Rocky Island
The best of the Red Sea, and it truly is! This trip takes you to the best the Red Sea has to offer, including Elphinstone, Daedalus, Rocky Island, and Zabargad Island. World-renowned dive sites make these liveaboard tours as interesting as they are unique.
