Saudi Arabia’s Cruise Saudi will launch a new, ultra-luxury yacht for high net worth individuals (HNWI) by 2027. Cruise Saudi is a Public Investment Fund (PIF) owned business based in Jeddah.
The company will collaborate with hotel brand Aman to launch ‘Aman at Sea’, the 183-metre superyacht that features 47 suites, including amenities such as an Aman-style spa with a Japanese garden, and Michelin-quality restaurants. The yacht will also have an onboard beach club. Aman at Sea will be ready for cruising by 2027.
The vessel, which was unveiled by Cruise Saudi’s Managing Director Fawaz Farooqui at the Seatrade Cruise Global event in Florida, will have a 2:1 crew ratio to guests, prioritising the guest space ratio while creating the biggest suites in the industry.
“Aman is a truly unique brand. Its authentic intent is to provide a level of service — which is a home away from home — that is peerless in every way,” Fawaz said.
Fawaz also added that Saudi Arabia is a premium destination due to its “warm hospitality, authenticity, culture, and nature.”
“We are sitting on thousands of years of heritage. Saudi Arabia used to be part of the Incense Route and we have a civilisation that goes back 4 or 5,000 years B.C,” he added.
