Royal Evolution is one of the most sophisticated liveaboards in the Red Sea. There are no compromises in safety, facilities or professionalism in the diving services provided.

Royal Evolution offers a spacious dive deck, with comfortable and wide boarding steps for easy entry and exits; there is ample room for twenty four divers to store equipment and cylinders as well as two deck showers.

On the main deck you will find a comfortable restaurant and separate lounge area, each accommodating twenty four guests. Within the lounge there is a communal TV and DVD player with media library, magazines and books, you will also find a light table for slides, and bar with ice making machines. In addition there is a dedicated classroom for those wishing to take a course while on board.

Royal Evolution has accommodation for up to twenty four passengers in double and twin share cabins, all of which offer en suite facilities and individual air-conditioning.

Her lower deck offers eight spacious twin en-suite cabins all with ample storage for clothing, tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge, desk and chair, sound system offering three channels and TV and video entertainment system.

After giving the cabins roomy dimensions, attention was turned to the bathrooms; room to move around in a bathroom on a liveaboard is true luxury, and the tub showers are a real treat.
