MY Blue Pearl

← Previous1 / 8Next →

Eight twin cabins and two upper-deck doubles

Built in November 2003, Blue Pearl measures 36 metres long and 8 metres wide. All ten cabins have air-conditioning and private bathrooms. The two upper-deck doubles offer sea views, while the eight lower-deck twins have portholes; that difference matters more to the cabin choice than the boat’s overall dimensions.

The checked agent terms quote an eighty-percent supplement for sole occupancy. Confirm sharing arrangements and the exact bed configuration before paying.

Life between dives

Broad windows brighten the salon and dining room, while the outdoor bar, bean-bag seating and two partly shaded sun decks offer several places to spend a surface interval. Meals include local and Western dishes, with buffet service, vegetarian options and snacks. Standard drinks are included in the checked offer; alcohol and premium drinks remain extra.

Camera rinsing and charging areas help with the daily routine. Wi-Fi depends on coverage, especially on southern and offshore routes. Discuss dietary requirements and a non-diving companion’s activities before booking; a boat accepting snorkellers does not make every offshore programme suitable for them.

Travelling with a non-diver

Blue Pearl is listed as non-diver and snorkeller friendly, with two partly shaded sun decks and a twenty-guest capacity. Those shared spaces may appeal to a companion who enjoys life at sea. Agree the activities and fare for the selected week, especially when offshore stops replace the northern reef programme.

Northern programmes, with selected offshore weeks

The checked agent calendar contained fifty-four departures from 29 October 2026 through 6 January 2028. These seven-night examples cover its distinct programme names, with the partner’s April naming discrepancy shown separately. The operator also describes wider route possibilities; a general fleet itinerary is not proof that Blue Pearl operates it on your dates.

Select programme areas

These partial geographic references are not day-by-day sailing tracks. Dahab, Safaga and the unnamed special-programme wrecks are not pinned. Abu Nuhas represents a group of wrecks, and port markers do not identify an assigned berth. Obtain a detailed programme before choosing a special departure.

Daedalus marker: southern reef reference from Red Sea Diving, checked 4 November 2026. This is a geographic reference, not a dive-entry point.

Dive-site references

This separate map locates the selected reef and wreck areas. Conditions, access and the cruise team’s decisions determine the dives.

Diving requirements and equipment

Blue Planet requires a valid certification and logbook, with fifty logged dives for Brothers, Daedalus, Rocky and Zabargad. Its published rules prohibit decompression diving and set a maximum depth of forty metres; your training and the conditions may require a shallower limit. Night diving is prohibited in the named marine parks.

Standard 12-litre cylinders and weights are included. Nitrox is free for qualified divers; 15-litre cylinders must be reserved and cost €30 per week in the checked terms. Bring the required buoy, computer and torch, and reserve rental equipment before departure.

A typical week allows two or three dives on the first diving day, up to four on non-marine-park days or three in marine parks, then two on the final diving day. These are opportunities, not a guaranteed dive count.

A €1,105 cruise subtotal for a dated northern week

For 26 November–3 December 2026, North & Wrecks, both the partner and checked agent listing advertised a starting fare of €875 per person. The agent’s cabin comparison and compulsory €230 cruise-fee package give:

The €90 difference compares the same date, duration and shared occupancy. Both categories had available places when checked on 24 October 2026; this is a dated advertised comparison, not a live quotation.

The compulsory package covers permits, local and port fees and fuel. It varies by route: the checked 2026 amounts include €245 for North & Tiran, €260 for North & Brothers from Hurghada and €320 for Brothers–Daedalus–Elphinstone. The 2027 agent terms rise to €300, €315, €330 and €390 respectively for North & Wrecks, North & Tiran, North & Brothers from Hurghada, and BDE. The upper-deck supplement becomes €95 in 2027.

Full board, standard drinks, eligible transfers, diving and qualified nitrox are included. Flights, entry arrangements, insurance, equipment, premium drinks and optional gratuities are separate. The agent’s €40 visa-and-service option is a service package, not a statement of the government visa price.

Ports, transfers and boarding

The checked late-2026 northern departures use Hurghada. Confirm both ports for offshore or southern departures before choosing flights. Eligible shared transfers are included, but the pickup schedule and any exclusions must match your arrival.

The agent gives boarding from 15:00, cabin check-out at 09:00 and departure from the boat by noon. The first evening is normally spent in port, with sailing after breakfast and clearance the following morning. Confirm your final dive time and required no-fly interval before booking the return flight.
