Cruising isn’t what it used to be – at least, not for seafaring HNWs. While the floating cities grow ever larger, transporting thalassophiles across azure seas in record numbers, demand for uber-luxury ocean exploration has risen sharply in recent years.
Enter the latest ship we’re obsessed with – Amangati, Aman’s first ocean-going motor yacht. While the 600-foot, nine-deck yacht is still under construction, the vessel’s first itineraries were announced on Wednesday 21 January, with a debut season of five- to eight-night Mediterranean journeys launching in spring 2027.
Restaurants across the ship include a Mediterranean hideout and a grill
SINOTAmangati’s adventures begin on Friday 7 May 2027 with a six-night sailing calling at seven ports, beginning at Palma de Mallorca and finishing at Nice – ports of call include Barcelona, Palamós and Marseille.
Plenty of itineraries have been curated with Italophiles in mind, with the seven-night Livorno to Naples journey taking in dazzling destinations including Napoleon’s exile isle of Elba and the paradisiacal beaches along north Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda via the French island of Corsica.
Plenty of outside space will offer incredible sea views
SINOTCome August, Amangati will navigate the Croatian and Albanian coasts en route to Greek islands such as Corfu, Milos, Paros and Santorini.
On board, prospective guests can expect Aman’s signature tranquillity across remarkably spacious rooms and social areas. Interiors draw inspiration from Japanese ryokans, where natural light pours through full-height windows and private terraces offer breathtaking views as the motor yacht pulls into each port.
