Review:
Guests can take in the incredible views from atop the partially shaded sundeck or unwind in the indoor salon and bar area with it’s fully decked out video and entertainment system.
For an extra charge, you can hire a private dive guide during your stay on the Adora and even complete dive courses this way.
Every cabin features an ensuite bathroom, it’s own TV and individually controlled AC. The Ocean View Suites have their own private balconies and there is also a superior single room available.
It would be nice if the Adora had more extra activities & luxury amenities like ScubaSpa Yang and Emperor Explorer but it probably does offer the nicest and most spacious cabins of any Maldives liveaboard.
Onboard cuisine brings tastes from India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives in addition to international dishes which also provide vegetarian and vegan options on request.
Guests can also enjoy paid internet and additional activities such as snorkelling and a beach BBQ!

Adora is the obvious choice for anyone who wants to combine a liveaboard experience with a private island stay thanks to the “Unique Adventure Diving” itinerary featured on certain months.
She is also a great option for those who want to stay in the nicest, most lavish cabin possible whilst exploring the popular central and more off the beaten track southern regions.

“Lovely staff the visibility and weather not ideal – Would probably advise people not to chose October if this is the typical weather. visibility about 5-8 m only We saw everything though – whale shark, mantas However, We had tuna served twice a day every day.
My partner does not eat tuna and therefore chicken was his staple food. Perhaps more variation might have been possible if 19 of the 24 on board were not Israeli – but probably better to have varied more for the unlucky five !
Otherwise we thought it was an excellent cruise and could not fault the staff at all, they were absolutely wonderful – particularly Dhoni crew, divemaster, Hassan, and Barman, Lucky. thank you everyone”.
