Empress II Liveaboard
Empress II Liveaboard offers everything you’d expect for a no-frills liveaboard but does it really well. The furnishings are bright and cheerful and the social areas include an outdoor lounge that becomes a starlight cinema. There are comfy bean bags to relax on, stripey sofas and an indoor lounge and galley area that flows through to outdoor dining. Cabins are basic but well kept and tidy and come in variations of twin configurations; there’s also one single cabin. Each cabin has a porthole for natural light and bathrooms are shared. The Empress II has a lift for water access to save a giant stride entry. It’s also worth knowing that the vessel was part of installing 350 bouys in the region so the crew are very familar with the sites.
