When people think of Aman, they usually think of quiet places, generous space, and an almost calming sense of privacy. So when the luxury brand announced it was launching its first ship, many wondered how that feeling would translate to the open sea.
With Amangati, Aman at Sea is making its answer clear. This isn’t about packing thousands of guests onboard or racing between ports, it’s about slowing everything down.
Sailings will begin in spring 2027, and reservations are already open for travelers who prefer experiences that feel personal rather than programmed.
From the start, the ship has been designed to feel less like a cruise and more like one of Aman’s signature resorts, just floating.
Instead of flashy attractions, the focus is on space, silence, and thoughtful details. It’s the kind of journey meant for people who enjoy lingering, not rushing.
Mediterranean Routes That Leave Room to Breathe
The first itineraries will explore the Mediterranean on relaxed 5 to 8-night voyages. Stops include the Dalmatian Coast, Spain, and the French Riviera, with smaller ports mixed in to avoid the usual crowds.
Places like Beaulieu-sur-Mer are part of the plan destinations that feel intimate and unhurried. Some sailings are also timed around major events, such as the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Grand Prix.
One of the standout moments will be a sunset passage through Venice’s Grand Canal. Rather than a quick in-and-out stop, the experience is designed to feel memorable and unforced.
With only 94 guests on board, the atmosphere stays calm even when the ship is full. There’s no pressure to “do everything,” just the freedom to enjoy what feels right in the moment.
That sense of choice is very much in line with Aman’s philosophy. The ship sets the pace, but guests decide how to follow it.
Life Onboard Is About Comfort, Not Crowds
Everything about Amangati feels intentionally scaled down. The ship will feature 47 large suites, all with private terraces and enough space to actually settle in.
Suites range from 731 to more than 3,800 square feet, which is rare at sea. Each guest will also have a dedicated suite host, offering help when needed without hovering.
Wellness is a major focus, anchored by a two-level spa that spans more than 12,000 square feet. Treatment rooms, a fitness studio, and quiet relaxation areas are built for downtime, not schedules.
Dining follows the same understated approach, with Mediterranean and Japanese restaurants, an Aman Grill, and in-suite dining available at any hour. Entertainment is subtle, a jazz club, a cinema, and spaces meant for conversation rather than noise.
With two helipads and multiple tenders, arriving and exploring ashore is smooth and discreet.
In the end, Amangati feels less like a ship and more like a peaceful escape that just happens to move.
Construction on Amangati is already underway, marking a key milestone as Aman continues to bring its ultra-luxury hospitality experience to the open sea.
