At 26 metres and with 6 cabins, MY Orchid is among the smaller liveaboards in the Red Sea. In a heavily populated destination, there is something liberating about being on a compact boat with a small group of people. The maximum number of guests on board is only 12 so, unlike some of the enormous Red Sea scuba safari options, you are not going to get lost in the crowd.Cruise price per person includes: Cabin accommodation with air-conditioning, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, water, soft drinks and hot drinks, return transfers from Sharm airport/hotel to boat, dives, experienced English-speaking divemaster (1 guide for every 6 divers), tanks, weights/weightbelts, all permissions and harbour fees (except those listed in excludes).
Cruise price per person excludes (mandatory, unless customer provides own): Scuba equipment, dive insurance, national park fees and dive permissions for trips including Ras Mohamed for Ras Abu Galum. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival.
Optional extras: Alcoholic drinks, torches, donations to the Hyperbaric Medical Centre.
How to get there: MY Orchid departs from Sharm El Sheikh. There are direct flights from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh (1 hour) via Egypt Air, and from some destinations in the UK and Europe. Boat transfers to and from your hotel are provided. Airport transfers can be arranged by the boat operator. For more information see our Red Sea travel information section.
Non-diver rate: None.
Single supplement (if you do not want to share accommodation): Add 100% to the published price.
Dive clubs and group discounts: Pay for 9, 10 or 11 guests and 1 extra person can join free of charge.
Whole boat charter rate (per night): Please ask us.
Add-on package: We strongly recommend the wonderful antiquities tours in Egypt which can add a whole new dimension to your Red Sea diving holiday. Cairo museum's royal mummies, the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, a cruise down the River Nile, The Valley of the Kings, all of these and more are available in packages starting at 6 nights' duration. Other activities such as 4x4 safaris and camel tours can be undertaken with custom-made packages to suit your needs.
