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 luxury mega yacht will measure 600 feet and accommodate 94 guests in 47 suites. 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.

Editor’s Note: This story will be updated as more details are released. It was last updated on Jan. 27, 2026.

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.”

Categories will include the Deluxe Suite, Premier Suite, Signature Suite, Grand Suite and Aman Suite.

Amenities

The double-decker, 12,817-square-foot Aman Spa will highlight a Japanese garden and sea-view treatment rooms opening to alfresco terraces, whirlpool baths, a hammam and a banya (a traditional Russian steam bath). The Selora Marina and Lounge at the stern will offer direct ocean access along with yoga, meditation and other wellness activities at the Fitness Studio, the Medi Spa and the Beauty Lounge. Guests can also enjoy a 36-guest, 52-foot pool deck perched above the aft, as well as two helipads.

Dining will extend to Aman’s signature Japanese washoku (the UNESCO-recognized traditional dietary culture of Japan) and teppanyaki restaurants Akari and Hiori, a casual all-day Mediterranean venue called Alira and the Aman Grill. For entertainment, guests can enjoy a vibrant Jazz Club, a cinema and the Youth Lounge. 

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.

Sales

Angela Composto has joined Aman at Sea’s executive team as senior vice president of sales, marketing and reservations.She brings over a quarter century’s worth of cruise and luxury travel industry experience, including roles at American Queen Voyages and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

"Over the past 25 years working in luxury hospitality, I have strived to gain a strong strategic vision and the ability to anticipate industry trends, which has led to the launch of several successful global brands,” Composto said in a press release. “Now, I am honored to apply this experience at Aman at Sea and look forward to introducing the Aman brand’s deeply rooted values and exceptional reputation to the world’s oceans for the very first time.”
