There’s something magical about diving the Red Sea in December. The crowds thin, the water remains warm, and the visibility stretches endlessly across reefs teeming with life. This year, there’s another reason to pack your dive gear: a rare 30% off late-availability deal aboard the Emperor Elite for the 19th of December departure.
Part of the renowned Emperor Divers fleet, the Emperor Elite is a 38-metre vessel designed for comfort, reliability, and world-class diving. The atmosphere on board feels both luxurious and relaxed, offering divers the perfect blend of adventure and ease. With just 26 guests on board, it’s large enough for space and privacy, yet small enough to foster the kind of camaraderie that liveaboard diving is known for.

This particular sailing follows the Reefs and Wrecks itinerary, departing and returning to Hurghada. It’s one of the Red Sea’s most beloved routes, combining the mystery of sunken history with the vibrancy of living coral gardens. Divers can expect to explore iconic wrecks like the Thistlegorm and Giannis D, along with reef systems alive with anthias, jacks, turtles, and the occasional reef shark gliding through the blue.
Onboard life between dives is just as inviting. The Emperor Elite offers en-suite cabins with modern amenities, spacious dive decks, and comfortable communal areas for reviewing footage or simply relaxing under the sun. Meals are freshly prepared by the onboard chef, and the crew’s reputation for hospitality has earned the vessel consistent five-star feedback from guests across multiple seasons.
What makes this opportunity stand out is the timing. The 19th of December departure falls right before the holiday period, offering warm-water diving while much of the world is wrapped in winter. With 30% off the usual rate, this late-availability offer is a genuine find for divers looking to treat themselves to something special before the year ends.
Even better, the deal includes many of the extras that other liveaboards charge for. Nitrox is complimentary, as are most local park fees and transfers. That means fewer unexpected costs, and more focus on what matters – diving some of the most legendary sites on Earth with one of the Red Sea’s most respected operators.
December diving in Egypt is often overlooked, yet it offers some of the best conditions of the year. The seas are calmer, the dive sites quieter, and marine life still as active as ever. Pair that with a premium liveaboard experience at a significantly reduced price, and it becomes clear why this trip is generating attention among savvy divers.
There are only a limited number of cabins left for this departure, and once they’re gone, so is the offer. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to return to the Red Sea or to experience it for the first time, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Book your spot aboard the Emperor Elite today and start your festive season 30 metres below the surface, surrounded by history, colour, and that unmistakable Red Sea magic.
