Top luxury hospitality group Aman is joining other luxury resort brands in heading out to sea.
A steel cutting ceremony in Genoa, Italy marked the start of construction of the luxury motor yacht Aman at Sea. A joint venture with Cruise Saudi, the 50-suite ship is scheduled to launch in 2027.
The start of construction is happening as Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection appears to be moving ahead with its plans for a third yacht, while a two-ship Four Seasons Yachts project is still in the works, despite a recent departure of some top executives.
T.Mariotti, builder of ultraluxury custom cruise and expedition vessels and yachts in Italy since 1928, has been selected to deliver this first-of-its-kind vessel and will provide the highest standard of design, mirroring the level of detail and care experienced across Aman’s hotels, Aman Group claimed at the ceremony.
At 600 feet in length, the new vessel will be dual- fuel powered, using marine diesel oil and methanol, showcasing Aman Group’s commitment to sustainability while offering a one-of-a-kind experience on the water. The ship will feature just 50 luxury suites, each with its own private balcony.
The vessel will offer an array of dining options, including an informal all-day restaurant, plus international cuisine options and a relaxed club and lounge, a spacious Aman Spa,complete with a Japanese garden, two helipads, plus a Beach Club offering guests direct access to the water at the stern of the yacht.
“The steel cutting signifies a key milestone in the development of Aman at Sea and my strategic evolution of the brand as we continue to diversify our geographical portfolio on land and at sea to offer exceptional travel experiences which deliver Aman’s core values of privacy, peace, generosity of space and unparalleled service,” said Vlad Doronin, chairman and CEO of Aman Group.
