MY Blue is 43 meters long and accommodates 24 guests in 12 cabins. Completed in 2016, she was purpose-built for divers and features spacious sun decks, a large outdoor lounge with a bar and dive facilities including a camera table, Zodiac boats and free Nitrox. She sails year-round to classic Red Sea routes – from northern wrecks to the marine parks of Brothers, Daedalus, Rocky and Zabargad.
Finished in 2016, MY Blue hosts 24 guests in eight well-lit lower deck cabins with twin beds and private bathrooms. The upper deck offers four cabins with sea views, including doubles and twins, plus a spacious suite on the main deck.
Combining modern European design with Egyptian shipbuilding, this 43-meter liveaboard is one of the largest and most modern safari boats in the Red Sea.
We recommend that you book your international flight to and from Hurghada International airport (HRG) or Marsa Alam International airport (RMF), depending on your departure port. Both airports are served by many airlines and charter companies from all over the world. A representative of Blue Planet will meet guests at the airport and escort them to the yacht.
Please note that these times may vary depending on the itinerary so please check your cruise confirmation carefully. Depending on your onward plans, you can either transfer directly to the airport or check into a hotel to enjoy the Egyptian hospitality a little longer.
