Twins below, doubles above and a main-deck suite

Built in Rashid in 2010, the wooden-hulled Snefro Target measures 37 × 9 metres. The operator records a renovation in August 2024. All ten cabins have air-conditioning, private bathrooms, storage and a safe.

The upper doubles are a natural option for couples who value a window, while the suite gives more floor space. Buddies and solo travellers looking for a share should focus on the twins. Sole occupancy needs its own quote; the private double categories are not advertised as shared rooms.

A lounge for company, and another for a quieter hour

The dive vessel has many social areas where you can hang out between dives. The main deck is home to a generous dining area combined with a lounging space, with a television and entertainment system. A second indoor lounge on the upper deck offers another place to settle when the main salon is busy.

Step outside from the indoor lounge and there is another lounge in the shade, with a bar and a broad sea view. The bow offers a smaller open-air space, while a few more stairs lead to the top sun deck with seating and loungers. There is room to choose a sociable table, a sheltered seat or a sunny spot, depending on the hour.

What’s on the menu?

Three buffet meals combine Egyptian and international cooking, with fruit and snacks between dives. Water, tea, coffee and standard soft drinks are included. Vegetarian requests can be arranged in advance. Alcohol and espresso, where offered, are separate purchases.

Travelling with a non-diver?

Non-divers are accepted. The reef-focused mini programmes, Sinai Classic and Deep North allow snorkelling at permitted sites, with diving taking priority; a companion’s fare remains subject to confirmation.

From three-night reef breaks to a full Sinai week

The operator lists the following programmes for Snefro Target, departing and returning at Sharm el Sheikh’s New Marina, El Wataneya. Programme coverage does not guarantee a cabin on every date. The dated listings checked include Sinai Classic and Sinai Wrecks & Reefs weeks.

Indicative itineraries

These outlines connect representative stops from the published programmes. The weekly routes have no fixed day-by-day schedule; the order of individual reefs and wrecks can change. Lines show an illustrative sequence, not navigational tracks or guaranteed stops. The Sharm marker identifies the port area, not the exact New Marina berth; your transfer instructions provide the meeting point.

Thistlegorm, Dunraven and Abu Nuhas offer the wreck-focused part of the programme; Ras Mohammed and Tiran bring reef walls and current-dependent dives. Deep North adds Dahab and Ras Abu Galum. Blue Hole and Canyon references do not imply access to deep or overhead routes beyond your training.

Southern and special departures

Southern routes from Hurghada or Port Ghalib are offered on request, but a specific current southern circuit or dated departure was not established. The fee list also mentions a four-night Tiran–Dahab trip without a detailed route description; its availability and stops need confirmation. A fleet-wide special such as the 2027 eclipse trip needs the boat named on its confirmation.

Diving arrangements and experience

The dive deck offers storage and room to gear up, with fresh-water showers and two bathrooms close by. Two tenders support the diving, and the compressors sit below deck. Standard 12-litre cylinders, weights and guides are included; Nitrox 32% is complimentary for qualified divers, subject to technical availability.

Reef-focused mini routes and Sinai Classic list Open Water with fifteen logged dives as the starting requirement. Thistlegorm diving requires Advanced Open Water and twenty logged dives; the wreck-focused mini routes and Sinai Wrecks & Reefs use that higher minimum for the trip. On Deep North, Advanced Open Water is needed for some more demanding sites. The published requirements also call for a logged dive within the previous year or a refresher. Certification alone does not authorise wreck penetration: agree an appropriate dive plan with the guide.

What the cruise fare includes

A seven-night Sinai Classic departure on 12–19 December 2026 was listed from €1,169 per person when checked on 23 October 2026. This is a dated starting fare, not a matched cabin quote or live availability.

The operator lists fuel within its package, subject to possible revision. The partner groups some charges under a broader park, port and fuel label, so use the final itemised invoice rather than adding the same surcharge twice.

Joining in Sharm

Programme descriptions generally arrange embarkation from 18:00, with sailing early the next morning. Week-long trips normally finish with a night at or near port; an administrative or itinerary change can place that final night in a hotel instead, usually communicated in advance. Disembarkation is by noon at the latest. Mini safaris can dive on the final day, so the departure flight must allow the required interval after diving. Entry requirements differ by route, particularly where Thistlegorm is included; use the joining and entry instructions for your booked itinerary.
