Liveaboard prices can climb quickly, particularly for the destinations divers tend to put at the top of their wish lists. This week, though, there are some interesting offers covering everything from a relatively affordable Red Sea escape to bucket-list trips in Raja Ampat and the Galápagos.
We’ve gone through the latest offers available through LiveAboard.com and picked out seven that caught our attention.
Prices and availability can change quickly, so it is worth checking the current price before making any travel plans.
Bahamas Aggressor II, Bahamas
Departure: 20 March 2027
Route: Exuma Cays and Southwest Eleuthera
From: €2,452 per person
For divers looking towards the Caribbean in 2027, Bahamas Aggressor II is offering a Nassau-to-Nassau itinerary through the Exuma Cays and Southwest Eleuthera.
The Bahamas is particularly well known for shark encounters, clear water, walls and healthy reef diving, making this one of the more interesting options for divers wanting a dedicated week aboard rather than a resort-based trip.

Dancing Wind, Raja Ampat
Departure: 27 February 2027
Route: Central Raja Ampat
From: €4,009 per person
This is the expensive end of this week’s selection, but it is also Raja Ampat.
Dancing Wind departs from Sorong for an itinerary through Central Raja Ampat, putting divers into one of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet. For anyone already considering a serious Raja Ampat trip in 2027, the current special is worth comparing against other departures before booking.

Galapagos Master, Galápagos
Departure: 7 December 2026
Route: Master the Galapagos
From: €4,612 per person
Offer: Monthly special plus free Nitrox
Galápagos liveaboards rarely fall into the cheap-diving category, so a meaningful reduction on an already-planned trip can make a substantial difference.
The December 7 departure aboard Galapagos Master is currently part of a wider promotion on selected late-2026 sailings, with free Nitrox also included in the offer.
For experienced divers considering the Galápagos, this is probably one of the strongest high-end offers in this week’s selection.

Manta Queen 2, Thailand
Departure: 10 December 2027
Route: North Andaman
From: €468 per person
Offer: Early booking special
At the other end of the price range is Manta Queen 2.
The itinerary includes Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Boonsung Wreck, with departure from Khao Lak. At a starting price below €500, this is one of the most accessible liveaboard options in the roundup.
The catch is the date. This is a December 2027 departure, so it is very much an early-planning option rather than a last-minute escape.

Philippines Aggressor II, Philippines
Departure: 29 September 2026
Route: Best of Visayas
From: €2,345 per person
Offer: Last-minute savings, currently advertised until 25 September 2026
This is the one for divers who can travel at short notice.
Philippines Aggressor II departs Cebu on September 29 for a Best of Visayas itinerary. The current saving is specifically being promoted as a last-minute offer, making it considerably more time-sensitive than most of the trips in this roundup.
If the Philippines is already on the radar and the dates work, this is one to investigate sooner rather than later.

Sinaistar, Egypt
Departure: 5 December 2026
Route: North and Brothers
From: €816 per person
Offer: Up to 32% off
For European divers looking for something closer to home, Sinaistar’s December departure combines northern Red Sea diving with the Brothers.
The Red Sea remains one of the few major liveaboard destinations where a week of serious diving can still be found without the price tag associated with destinations such as Raja Ampat or the Galápagos.
With rates currently advertised at up to 32% off, this is arguably the value pick of this week’s longer liveaboard trips.

Top Class Cruising Sachika, Maldives
Departure: 5 December 2026
Route: Best of Central Atolls
From: €1,292 per person
The Maldives rounds out this week’s selection with a Best of Central Atolls itinerary aboard Top Class Cruising Sachika.
Central Atolls itineraries can be a good introduction to Maldivian liveaboard diving, combining channels, reefs and encounters with the larger marine life for which the destination is known.
At a starting price of €1,292 for the advertised December departure, this is worth putting alongside the other Maldives offers currently on the market.
