Twelve cabins for twenty-four guests

The current operator layout has twelve cabins, replacing this page’s earlier ten-cabin description. Every cabin has air-conditioning and a private bathroom.

Built in December 2004, Blue Seas measures 37 metres long and 8 metres wide. Its twelve-cabin layout combines lower-deck rooms with four upper-deck sea-view cabins. A cabin plan and photographs of the allocated room are more useful for choosing accommodation than an undated promise of a recent refit.

The checked agent terms quote an eighty-percent supplement for sole occupancy. Shared-cabin availability can be restricted by the remaining roommate allocation; confirm this before paying.

Life between dives

The salon and restaurant have broad windows, while the outdoor lounges and sun decks offer both sun and shelter. Buffet meals combine local and Western dishes, with vegetarian options and snacks between meals. Meals, water, tea, coffee and standard bottled soft drinks are included in the checked offer; alcohol and some premium or canned drinks cost extra. Discuss allergies or other essential dietary needs when booking.

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 Seas welcomes non-divers and snorkellers. Snorkelling equipment is available to hire at a listed €35 per person per week, checked 4 November 2026. Agree the companion fare and suitable snorkelling outings for your actual departure; the shaded decks and salon provide places to relax between activities.

Programme choices across the checked calendar

The agent calendar displayed fifty-one departures from 29 October 2026 through 6 January 2028. The table groups its distinct programme names and preserves longer-trip variants. These are advertised plans, not guaranteed stops or live availability.

The full southern expedition is also advertised for 11–22 April, 22 April–3 May and 13–24 May 2027, each eleven nights; 3–13 May is ten nights. Do not compare these as interchangeable seven-night safaris.

Compare programme areas

Each layer is a partial geographic reference, not a day-by-day route. Rocky and Zabargad now appear in their named programme layers. Elba and Dahab remain unpinned; the maps still do not establish a complete sailing plan. Obtain the actual operator itinerary before choosing those trips. Port markers do not identify an assigned berth.

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 references. Conditions, access and the cruise team’s decisions determine the dives.

Rocky and Zabargad island references: CDWS dive-site directory, checked 4 November 2026. These locate the islands, not entries, moorings or an underwater route.

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.

Same-week cabin comparison, including compulsory cruise fees

For 12–19 November 2026, Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone, both the partner and agent displayed a starting fare of €1,370 per person. The operator and agent list a €320 compulsory cruise-fee package for this 2026 route.

Checked 24 October 2026. The upper twin’s remaining berth was for a female roommate. Availability can change. These subtotals exclude flights, entry arrangements, insurance, equipment, premium drinks and optional tips.

The package covers diving permits, local and port charges and fuel. It is not included in the headline fare. The agent lists €255 for a 2026 St John’s week and €600 for its Elba expedition. Its 2027 schedule increases the St John’s package to €325 and the Brothers–Daedalus–Elphinstone package to €390; the upper-deck supplement also rises from €120 to €130. Obtain the applicable written quotation rather than carrying a 2026 fee into a 2027 budget.

Eligible transfers, full board, standard drinks, diving and qualified nitrox are included. A separate €40 visa-and-service option is an agent arrangement, not a statement of the government’s visa price.

Ports, transfers and boarding

The checked November southern examples depart from and return to Port Ghalib. Northern and mixed programmes can use other arrangements; confirm both ports before booking flights. The operator includes eligible Hurghada or Marsa Alam airport transfers for Port Ghalib sailings, and Hurghada airport transfers for Hurghada sailings.

The checked agent instructions give boarding from 15:00, cabin check-out at 09:00 and departure from the boat by noon. Dinner is served on arrival, with sailing normally the following morning after clearance. Confirm these times for your particular trip and leave the required no-fly interval after the final dives.
