Welcome Aboard the Ari Queen
The Ari Queen is designed to make that experience feel effortless. With 12 well appointed cabins, this spacious four-deck liveaboard offers just the right balance of casual ease and refined comfort.
What To Expect
Every cabin is air-conditioned, with private bathrooms and plenty of storage.
A highlight aboard the Ari Queen is its crew. Friendly and always ready with a smile, they make you feel at home from the moment you step onboard. And the chef knows how to keep taste buds happy serving up three generous meals a day, blending local flavours with international favourites in the cozy saloon or breezy dining area.
When it’s time to relax, stretch out on the sun deck, unwind in the shaded lounge near the bridge, or sip something cold at the open-air bar as the sun sets.
Whether you’re exploring the Maldives with a group of friends, or just treating yourself to something special, the Ari Queen is your floating home-away-from-home.
