Adding to the growing list of hoteliers entering the cruise market, Aman at Sea is the next brand to place on the sales radar with its first newbuild: Amangati. The 23,000-gross-ton luxury mega yacht will measure 600 feet and accommodate 94 guests in 47 suites (and 207 crew for a 2.2:1 staff-to-guest ratio). The vessel will debut in the Mediterranean in spring 2027, available for scheduled itineraries as well as private charters.
The ship, named as “peaceful motion” in Sanskrit, is currently under construction at T. Mariotti in Genoa, Italy, in collaboration with Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design.

Accommodations
Suites will range from 731 to 3,811 square feet, and each will include a private terrace — some with plunge pools — plus service from a dedicated “Host.”
“Designed to evoke a sense of elemental calm and inspired by the interior architecture of a Japanese ryokan home, every suite is a study in spatial composure with dedicated lounge and seated areas in addition to king-size beds,” the line said. “Subtly curved ceilings and full-height windows bathe timber-toned interiors in golden daylight, enhancing the sense of volume and openness.”
Bathrooms will feature travertine surfaces, walls clad in woven linen and luxurious free-standing baths.

Sustainability
The vessel’s eco-friendly technology will be supported by battery power and an additional suite of “green” innovations to reduce its overall environmental impact.
Itineraries
Amangati’s maiden Mediterranean itineraries will span five- to eight-night voyages from the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia to Spain and the French Riviera, calling on rare cruise ports such as Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France, and even passing through Venice’s Grand Canal. Aman’s unique approach will favor deeper immersion thanks to late departures, overnight stays and visits timed to cultural events such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix.
Concierge-led shore excursions will further extend to other curated cultural, artistic and historic experiences taking advantage of the ship’s helipads and half a dozen tenders.
From the fall of 2027 until January 2028, Amangati will reposition to the Caribbean with regional maiden itineraries — again ranging from five to eight nights in length — featuring the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands and the Dutch Caribbean. A 13-night transatlantic crossing will further feature a journey from Malaga, Spain, to Antigua with Cadiz, Spain, and Ponta Delgada in Portugal’s Azores in between.
The leeward routes will encompass Gustavia in Saint Barthelemy, Philipsburg in Sint Maarten, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and Barbuda for a marina day along the northern edge of the Antilles. Jaunts to smaller ports will include Saba, Little Bay in Montserrat, intimate Jost Van Dyke in the BVI and Prickly Pear Cay off Anguilla.
The windward circuits will depart from either Saint John’s in the U.S. Virgin Islands or Bridgetown in Barbados, and visit Iles des Saintes in Guadeloupe, Portsmouth in Dominica, Anse d'Arlet in Martinique and Soufriere in Saint Lucia, showcasing the volcanic Pitons. Rounding out stops will also be Canouan in the Grenadines and Saint George’s in Grenada.
As for the Dutch isles, the vessel will navigate to the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao with paths heading from Bridgetown and Oranjestad, Aruba, to the likes of Willemstad, Curacao, and Tobago Cays, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A special New Year’s celebration will be rung in while anchored for two nights at a private resort in Nevis.
