Marselia Star Liveaboard

Marselia Star, now operated by MV Legends, is a fully renovated steel-hulled liveaboard in Egypt's Red Sea that was built specifically for recreational and technical divers (OC and CCR). Guests can explore vibrant reefs and historic wrecks on a variety of itineraries designed to suit different diving goals and experience levels. What distinguishes the safari boat is its diver lift, which is the only one on any Red Sea liveaboard, combined with a professional, experienced crew.

Egypt's Red Sea is one of the world's most popular diving destinations, with vibrant coral reefs and well-preserved wrecks. The Red Sea's warm, clear water and excellent visibility make for a stunning mix of colorful reef life and historic dive sites. Divers can see reef sharks, oceanic whitetips, dolphins, and a variety of other marine life throughout the year. MV Legends ensures that every dive trip is safe, comfortable, and memorable by employing an experienced team of dive guides, using high-quality equipment, and operating cutting-edge facilities.
