The service on MV Orion Liveaboard is some of the best service you could expect to receive on a liveaboard in the Maldives.  This vessel has been described as the first scuba diving safari ship to offer true “Business-Class” scuba diving liveaboard holidays.  The crew is well-trained, the facilities are impeccable and the overall experience is one that will not be easily forgotten.  The only problem with a holiday on MV Orion is the fact that you will be permanently spoilt for any future holidays you take, especially liveaboard scuba diving holidays!
