Amangati will embark on Mediterranean voyages from spring 2027
Aman Group has opened reservations for its debut yacht, Amangati, the first vessel to set sail under its maritime lifestyle brand, Aman at Sea. The 180-metre, nine-deck yacht will embark on its inaugural Mediterranean season in spring 2027.
Amangati will offer a series of five- to eight-night voyages exploring destinations known for their architectural and cultural heritage, including the Dalmatian Coast and the French Riviera. The curated itineraries will feature visits to "rarely accessed" ports such as Beaulieu-sur-Mer and a journey along Venice’s Grand Canal in a rare route "exclusive to Amangati".
Select sailings will coincide with major global events, including the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix, offering guests the opportunity to combine luxury cruising with cultural immersion.
Onboard, Aman’s signature service and attention to detail will be delivered by a dedicated concierge team. Guests will arrive and depart via two helipads and six tenders, offering seamless access to destinations throughout the Mediterranean.

The luxury cruise market has more than tripled since 2010 in terms of ships and capacity, according to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). It is expected to reach 1.5 million travellers by 2028 and be worth nearly £14.6 billion (AED72.0 billion) by 2032, up from £5.3 billion (AED26.1 billion) in 2022.
A growing number of luxury hotel brands are following Aman in expanding from land-based resorts into yachting, including Four Seasons, which is set to debut its superyachts from 2026, as well as Ritz-Carlton and Oberoi. Jumeirah Group has also ventured beyond the shoreline with the addition of one of the world’s most renowned sailing superyachts, The Maltese Falcon, to its ultra-luxury Jumeirah Privé collection.
