Princess Dhonkamana

Princess Dhonkamana, a moderate-sized yacht at 31 metres in length and accommodating a maximum of 18 guests in nine ensuite cabins, stands apart due to her unique vintage atmosphere on board. Rare interiors with carved wood, brightly colored cushions, soft drapes, and romantic canopies above the beds lend the interiors a cosy, homely charm, like a country house in the middle of the Maldives.

 

One of Princess Dhonkamana's most distinctive qualities comes from her Italian roots. While the Maldives provide the scenery, there is a subtle Mediterranean spirit on board that guests often notice without immediately being able to define it. It reveals itself in the convivial atmosphere around the dining table, in the warm hospitality of the crew, and especially in the cuisine. Princess Dhonkamana has long been associated with authentic Italian influences, and many returning guests admit that the homemade pasta, perfectly prepared seafood and refined Italian dishes become almost as memorable as the diving itself.

 

There is a special travel philosophy on board Princess Dhonkamana. Days are measured not by the clock but by dives, sunsets and shared meals. Conversations linger over dinner, espresso follows dessert, and life on board unfolds with the effortless rhythm of a Mediterranean summer – only surrounded by the turquoise lagoons and palm-fringed islands of the Maldives. This fusion of Italian hospitality and Maldivian adventure is what gives the yacht her unique personality.

 

Princess Dhonkamana offers an intimate and uncrowded experience. Spacious outdoor areas, comfortable lounges and panoramic upper-deck cabins create a pleasant setting for life at sea, while the small guest-to-space ratio ensures plenty of room to relax.

 

For divers, however, the real attraction lies beneath the surface. The highly experienced crew of Princess Dhonkamana and dive professionals, speaking English, French, Italian and Spanish, combine extensive local knowledge with a passion for marine biology and conservation, enriching every journey with deeper insight into the Maldives' unique marine environment.

 

Quality of the crew repeatedly emerges from guest reviews, including those from Maldivian Charter club.

 

On board Princess Dhonkamana, Nitrox is available for certified divers, and Enriched EAN courses for those who want to join the Nitrox club. Other scuba-diving courses are also presented, from introductory to advanced levels and specialities like Digital UW photography or Underwater Naturalist and even Bubble-maker for 8 – 10-year-old children, to start with.

 

For travellers seeking outstanding diving combined with warm hospitality and a touch of Italian soul, Princess Dhonkamana remains one of the most appealing liveaboards in the Maldives.

 

The yacht’s description is subject to change, so if any features or services are particularly important to you, please confirm them at the time of booking.
