Egypt 
At 29 metres in length, and taking no more than 12 lucky guests, Snefro Pearl offers space and luxury for mini cruises in the northern Red Sea. The boat was purpose built for scuba diving and launched in 2012, then fully renovated in November 2021. There are six guest cabins, which consist of a master double and five twins. All have individually-controlled air conditioning, private bathroom and security box. The cruises are exceptionally-good value, with safety, comfort and luxury most important at all times. Run by a highly-experienced German team, the boat and its cruises are very popular.
There are four decks on Snefro Pearl. The uppermost deck is where guests can relax in the sun or shade, with stunning views and a nice sea breeze. The upper deck has an air-conditioned lounge saloon and at the rear is a shaded outdoor area with comfortable chairs. This is the best place to enjoy evening drinks after a long day at sea. At the front of this upper deck is a twin-bed guest cabin. The main deck is where guests spend most of the day. Here, you can enjoy sumptuous meals in the restaurant, relax in the lounge and dive from the dive platform. Everything is easily spacious enough for just twelve guests. Finally, Snefro Pearl's lower deck has four twin cabins and the huge master cabin with a double bed. Access from the main to the lower deck is by the indoor staircase.
Snefro Pearl departs from Sharm El Sheikh, which is Egypt's most-popular resort town. The trips visit Ras Mohamed National Marine Park, plus Thistelgorm & Dunraven Wrecks. Some of the dives are more than 20 metres in depth, and require you to be certified as an Advanced Diver, with at least 20 logged dives. Nitrox is beneficial at these depths, so Snefro offers Nitrox fills for free to certified divers.
With its large size, comfortable cabins and communal areas, exciting itinerary, great value and professional team, there's every reason to consider Snefro Pearl for your next Red Sea liveaboard cruise.
