Solitude World announced its expansion into the Maldives market with a new liveaboard, Solitude Gaia Maldives.
Formerly called the Gaia Joy, the new vessel will offer curated itineraries across the Maldives, featuring stunning dives and opportunities to encounter manta rays, sharks and vibrant coral ecosystems.
The new vessel is scheduled to commence operations in August 2027, and the full itinerary will be announced by the end of 2025.
Commenting on the upcoming vessel Solitude World Liveaboards Executive Director Kit Chung stated:
“Our expansion into the Maldives represents a natural evolution for Solitude World. We’ve spent years honing our approach in the Coral Triangle, and now we’re ready to bring that same commitment to excellence and strategic growth to new waters. This move reflects our vision of becoming the go-to brand for divers who demand the very best in both underwater experiences and surface-side comfort.”
The vessel is the second collaboration between the owner, Tresya, and Solitude World Liveaboards. Commenting on the new collaboration, Tresya stated:
“Entering the Maldives diving market is an exciting milestone for our portfolio. Through our experience as a shipbuilder, we’ve worked to collaboratively design this new boat to meet operational and safety demands while enhancing the guest experience. Our guests can expect the same, if not better, comfort and experience with the high service standards Solitude World is known for.”
