How to get there: Duke of York's liveaboard cruises usually depart from Male. Boarding is flexible but usually starts at 11 am. Guests are transported from the airport to the yacht by dhoni. The boat departs from the port once all guests are on board. The last dive of the trip will be during the morning on the penultimate day of the cruise. Disembarkation is at 8 am. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving.
For trips that use ports in the Outer Atolls, the operator prefers to arrange the necessary domestic morning flights for clients. This is so that they can arrange for all guests to arrive at the same time and so the cruise can start at the earliest opportunity.
