Maiden voyage May 7, 2027 · Mediterranean

Amangati is Aman's first ocean-going vessel — and likely the most anticipated new ultra-luxury ship of the decade for a specific kind of traveler. Aman has built one of the most loyal client bases in hospitality (the "Aman-junkies" who return to Aman properties year after year, worldwide). Bringing that brand to sea is a significant moment.

The Aman philosophy centers on a handful of principles: extreme intimacy (very few guests), deep stillness, wellness as a way of life rather than a spa menu, and a connection to place that goes beyond a typical port stop. Amangati will be built around those principles in a way that other luxury cruise lines simply aren't.

The Aman Difference

Intimacy by design

94 guests, 47 suites. At this scale there's no main pool crowd, no entertainment theater, no queue for anything. The ship is sized the way Aman sizes its properties — for guests who want to feel like they have the place to themselves.

Wellness as the core

The Aman Spa on Amangati is described as the largest in luxury yachting — a two-storey facility with a Japanese serenity garden and ocean-facing treatment rooms. This isn't a spa bolted onto a cruise ship. It's the heart of the vessel.

Aman-junkies already exist

Unlike most new luxury cruise lines starting from scratch, Aman has 35+ land properties and a deeply loyal returning guest base. Amangati will fill quickly with guests already inside the Aman ecosystem — early access matters.

Amandira precedent

Aman already operates Amandira, a private charter yacht in Indonesia. That vessel has shaped how Aman thinks about the sea experience — small, personal, focused on nature and place rather than onboard amenities.

Who Amangati is for

→ Guests who have stayed at multiple Aman properties and want to extend that relationship to sea

→ Travelers who prioritize stillness and wellness over onboard entertainment and programming

→ Couples or small groups who want near-private charter intimacy within a structured sailing

→ Anyone who finds conventional luxury cruise ships too busy, too programmed, or too large

Frequently Asked

When does Amangati launch? +

Amangati's maiden voyage departs May 7, 2027 — a Mediterranean season out of Palma de Mallorca. Inaugural itineraries include Balearic Adventure (Palma to Nice), Capri & Amalfi (Naples to Salerno), and The Greek Islands (Athens to Rhodes).

What's included in the fare? +

In-suite breakfast is included. Wine and beverages at dining venues are charged separately — Amangati follows the Aman resort model where food and beverage are largely à la carte. For a full picture of what's included at your suite category, a Virtuoso Travel Advisor can walk you through the specifics before you book.

Is Amangati only for Aman loyalists? +

Aman expects its existing guest base — guests who return to Aman properties year after year — to fill a significant portion of the ship. But it's not exclusive to prior Aman guests. If you prioritize radical intimacy, serious wellness, and a quieter, more private environment over onboard programming and entertainment, Amangati is designed for you regardless of your Aman history.

How does Amangati compare to Explora Journeys or Orient Express Corinthian? +

Different experiences at different scales. Amangati (94 guests) is built around Aman's wellness-first, deeply intimate philosophy with the largest spa in luxury yachting at its center. Explora (900+ guests) offers nine dining venues and more onboard programming. Orient Express Corinthian (108 guests) leads with its sailing yacht heritage and Yannick Alléno's culinary program. The choice depends entirely on what you're looking for from the voyage.

Should I book the maiden voyage or wait? +

The May 2027 inaugural sailings will sell to Aman's most committed guests first. Suite availability in the top categories is limited. There's an argument for early access if the Aman brand matters to you, and an argument for waiting if you prefer a proven product. A Virtuoso Travel Advisor can help you understand current availability and timing.

Is this a superyacht or a cruise ship? +

Something between the two. 94 guests and 47 suites is closer to a superyacht in scale, but Amangati has structured itineraries, professional hospitality staff, and Aman's resort service model rather than charter yacht informality. Think of it as a very small ship run with resort-level standards.
