The Snefro Spirit is a 'Gold Class' boat from the King Snefro Fleet who were awarded the IATD Tourism Shield of Excellence in 2006, so you can expect high quality and you won't be disappointed.This is a spacious Sharm El Sheikh liveaboard that sleeps up to a maximum of 18 guests and with 8 to 10 staff on board you can be sure that there is always someone nearby to cater to your needs. The week-long trips depart on Sundays and take in the best diving that the Red Sea's Sinai Peninsula has to offer.
Facilities are spread over the 4 decks with an air conditioned saloon and dining area on the main deck. Free wi-fi is available throughout the boat. Sun bathing can be done on the upper and sun deck where there is a bar with fridges, sun beds and music. The cherry on top is the sauna on the upper deck!
All cabins have private ensuite bathrooms and consist of Standard twin share cabins on the lower deck, plus a Deluxe suite on the upper deck which has larger windows and superior views over the Red Sea.
The Snefro Spirit offers its Egypt diving safari guests free use of nitrox, so for Sinai Peninsula liveaboard luxury and a fun atmosphere, there are few that can lay claim to the throne of the MY Snefro Spirit.
