Featured Luxury Brands

Aman at Sea

Privacy, wellness and minimalist design

Aman at Sea is Aman’s expansion into ultra-luxury ocean travel, bringing the brand’s signature focus on privacy, wellness, minimalist design, and personalized service to the yachting sector. Rather than operating a traditional cruise ship, Aman is positioning the experience as a floating luxury resort with a small number of guests and spacious accommodations.

Departure Lounge clients receive an onboard credit of $500.

One ultra-luxury motor yacht: The inaugural vessel, Amangati (“peaceful motion” in Sanskrit), is scheduled to begin sailing in spring 2027.

Very intimate scale: Amangati will accommodate just 94 guests in 47 suites, making it one of the smallest purpose-built luxury hotel yachts. Every suite includes a private terrace with ocean views.

Design and wellness focus: Designed by SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design, the nine-deck yacht emphasizes natural materials, spacious interiors, and wellness. Highlights include a two-story Aman Spa, yoga and meditation spaces, an infinity pool, and multiple dining venues.

Private charter option: In addition to scheduled voyages, the yacht will be available for full private charters.

The inaugural season will focus on the Mediterranean, with itineraries visiting destinations such as the French Riviera, Italian coast, Greek Islands, Adriatic coast, and Turkey. Later in 2027, the yacht will reposition to the Caribbean, and it will also offer a transatlantic wellness voyage.

Before launching Amangati, Aman already offered Amandira, a traditional 52-meter Indonesian Phinisi sailing yacht available for private charters around Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat, and the Flores Sea. It carries only five cabins and a crew of 14, including a dive master, private chef, and spa therapist.

Aman at Sea is aimed at travelers who value:

  • Exceptional privacy with fewer than 100 guests onboard.
  • Aman’s understated luxury and wellness philosophy.
  • Spacious, residential-style suites rather than conventional cruise cabins.
  • Curated itineraries that emphasize smaller ports and immersive experiences.
  • Personalized service comparable to staying at an Aman resort.

Itineraries emphasize smaller ports, overnight stays, and flexible shore experiences rather than large-scale cruise tourism.

Four Seasons I entered service in March 2026, measuring 207 meters (679 feet) with 15 decks and 95 suites.
