Amangati
Amangati, the first vessel in the Aman at Sea fleet, will make its Caribbean debut in late 2027 following its inaugural Mediterranean season.
The vessel will operate a series of luxury voyages across the Antilles before welcoming the New Year in Nevis as part of a programme of five- to eight-night voyages across the Antilles beginning in November 2027.
The 94-guest yacht, currently under construction at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Italy, is scheduled to enter service in the Mediterranean in spring 2027 before repositioning across the Atlantic later in the year.
The Caribbean programme will run from November 21st, 2027, until January 2nd, 2028, and will focus on three regions of the Caribbean: the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, and the Dutch Caribbean.
The deployment represents the next phase in Aman at Sea’s inaugural operating year, following the launch of Mediterranean itineraries that include voyages through Spain, the French Riviera, and the Adriatic.
The Caribbean season will begin with three voyages exploring the Leeward Islands, calling at destinations including Gustavia in Saint Barthélemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, Philipsburg in Sint Maarten, Saba, and Little Bay in Montserrat.
The itineraries will also include a Marina Day in Barbuda and a beach stop at Prickly Pear Cay off Anguilla.
A second series of voyages will focus on the Windward Islands, sailing between Saint John’s, Antigua and Bridgetown, Barbados. Ports of call include Îles des Saintes in Guadeloupe, Portsmouth in Dominica, Anse d’Arlet in Martinique, Soufrière in Saint Lucia, Canouan in the Grenadines and Saint George’s, Grenada.
The final regional programme will concentrate on the southern Caribbean, with itineraries between Bridgetown and Oranjestad taking in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. Calls include Bonaire, Willemstad and Tobago Cays in the Grenadines.
The inaugural Caribbean season will conclude with a two-night New Year’s anchorage at a private resort in Nevis, where guests will welcome the arrival of 2028.
Before crossing the Atlantic, Amangati will complete its first Mediterranean season with four additional voyages that have now opened for reservations.
The programme includes Aegean Treasures, which explores the Peloponnese before continuing to Dubrovnik and Kotor, followed by Italian Flavors, Coastal Highlights and a Western Mediterranean itinerary ending in Málaga.
The Mediterranean deployment will conclude with a 13-night Atlantic Passage sailing from Málaga to Antigua. The voyage includes calls at Cádiz and Ponta Delgada in the Azores and has been designed around a wellness-focused onboard programme during the transatlantic crossing.
Aman at Sea is a joint venture between Cruise Saudi and luxury hospitality company Aman. The venture represents a further expansion of Saudi-backed investment in the luxury cruise sector and follows the earlier launch of Mediterranean itineraries designed around the yacht’s small size and ability to access ports beyond the reach of larger cruise ships.
With capacity for just 94 guests across 47 suites, Amangati has been positioned in the ultra-luxury segment, where destination-focused itineraries and extended time ashore are key features of the onboard experience.
