Carpe Novo liveaboard is the newest and largest addition to the luxurious Carpe Diem fleet. The 42 metre-long motor safari yacht began operating in 2016, and has since been providing a premier liveaboard service throughout the Maldives based on experience, excellence and attention to detail. The vessel has 12 spacious, stylish cabins to accommodate up to 22 divers, and three decks that feature opulent spaces, including plush air conditioned lounges, exquisite ocean-view dining and bar areas and a scenic sundeck for soaking up the sun. Superb diving facilities designed for comfort and convenience include dive tenders, a support vessel, top-quality dive gear, free nitrox, equipment room, fantastic camera facilities, and a PADI dive instructor on hand for dive courses. Scheduled trips usually depart every Saturday for 7 or 10 nights itineraries, and full and half charter cruises are also available.

Carpe Diem Cruises’ fleet of modern, spacious and well-appointed motor yachts offer a premier diving service in the Maldives. Born from a passion for Maldives diving, the fleet was designed by divers, for divers, with comfort, convenience and luxury in mind. Luxurious, yet casual, divers will love their modernity and attention to detail, from skilfully-designed lounges and well-appointed cabins, to top deck luxuries. All three vessels and their friendly, professional crew offer an unparalleled liveaboard experience throughout the Maldives. Guests can explore the best dive sites, with exciting routes and itineraries that take into consideration the changing seasons, and highlight the best of the Maldives throughout the year.

12 well-appointed, air conditioned cabins of 3 types divided over 3 decks provide plenty of space for up to 22 divers. Each has an ensuite bathroom, TV and storage space. On the main deck, the opulent indoor lounge and dive briefing area has a large flat-screen TV with entertainment system, a library and tea and coffee making facilities. Step outside and you’ll find a cushioned outdoor shaded seating area, while the upper deck has the al-fresco dining area and fully-stocked bar, where guests dine and sip wines, beers and cocktails with ocean views while enjoying a mix of local and international cuisine prepared by expert chefs. A partially shaded sundeck with comfy sunbeds is the perfect place to work on your tan or enjoy sunset cocktails while taking in extraordinary views of the Indian Ocean.

Everything was great! Some complications with flight changes back to Mali on the last day which caused us to be pushed to a later flight.
