Emperor Fleet - Cruise Itineraries

Get Wrecked! (from Sharm El Sheikh)

Northern Red Sea wrecks - Abu Nuhas, Ulysses, Rosalie Moeller, Thistlegorm and others

Note: Minimum of 50 logged dives recommended

The Get Wrecked cruise combines the 'best of the best' of the most famous wrecks in the northern Red Sea along with some stunning reef diving.

Leaving from Sharm El Sheikh, we aim to dive all the wrecks in the area including: The Dunraven (sunk 1876) at Beacon Rock, situated in the Ras Mohammed National Park, the most famous wreck in the Red Sea - the Thistlegorm, which lies at Shab Ali. She was sunk in 1941 after being bombed by the German Luftwaffe while on a mission to deliver a cargo of ammunition and other war materials to the British troops in North Africa.

The Carnatic, the tile wreck, the lentil wreck and Giannis D at Abu Nuhas are next on the list and at Gubal Islands we dive the Barge, the Ulysses (sunk in 1887) and the Rosalie Moeller (which was carrying a cargo of coal and suffered the same fate as the Thistlegorm just two days later). Next is the Kingston (or Sarah H, sunk in1881) lying at Shag Rock.

These wrecks are spectacular and make fantastic material for the underwater photographer being smothered in corals, especially the Carnatic, which sank in 1869. The famous SS Thistlegorm and the Rosalie Moller are World War II wrecks and one of the highlights of this cruise.

In between wreck dives you will also visit the reefs of the Straits of Gubal, Gulf of Suez and Ras Mohamed National Park. A variety of deep walls and hard coral gardens with an abundance of reef fish make them well worth a visit.

All wrecks are subject to divers' experience and weather conditions.
