Red Sea RE Aggressor dive boat review
Looking for Royal Evolution?
Red Sea RE Aggressor is the name used for Royal Evolution’s Aggressor programme introduced in 2022. Current booking listings also use Royal Evolution. They refer to the same 39 m vessel, not two boats.
For the current cabin comparison, route maps and cost notes, see our updated Royal Evolution guide. The earlier review below is retained for context; its past programme should not be taken as confirmation of a departure under the Aggressor name.
The Red Sea RE Aggressor Liveaboard is a 39-meter vessel operating diving cruises in the Egyptian Red Sea. Also marketed as the Royal Evolution Liveaboard, its earlier Aggressor programme is described here alongside the Royal Evolution name used for current bookings. The Aggressor programme described here featured seven-night itineraries including southern Red Sea reefs. Current routes and departure ports should be checked against the dated sailing.
