This next-generation superyacht is a marvel of modern design, offering guests an experience unlike any other. The voyage is a rich tapestry of history and culture, taking you to some of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean.
Starting in Haifa, Israel, you’ll discover the eclectic bustle of this city where ancient sites coexist with a thriving technology hub. Wander the spectacular colorful Baha’i Gardens, graze the German Colony’s bistros or ascend Mount Carmel by cable car. Next stop, Ashdod, the gateway to the land of scripture, where the spiritual majesty of Jerusalem, the saline waters of the Dead Sea, and countless other historic landmarks await.
Afterward, you’ll sail the Mediterranean Sea, enjoying the sunshine and the two pools aboard the yacht: one on the top deck, offering grand views, and the other with an infinity edge overlooking the marina. In Alexandria, Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great, you’ll spend an overnight stay that serves as a gateway to UNESCO-listed marvels, from historic Cairo to Memphis, Ancient Thebes, and the Pyramid Fields of Giza.
Another day at sea allows for relaxed luxury and the freedom to do whatever your heart desires. The yacht offers options such as early morning al fresco yoga classes, pampering at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, or a visit to the fitness center. The adventure continues in Rhodes, Greece, where Gothic, Byzantine, and Ottoman history converge in exquisite harmony.
Santorini’s volcanic caldera rising from the sea is an unforgettable sight. The iconic blue domes and whitewashed walkways of Fira high on the cliffs are a breathtaking place to be. Surrender to the relaxed charm of a Cyclades isle dotted with alluring beaches, thermal springs, and centuries-old historical sights in Milos, Greece.
Another day at sea offers plenty of options such as a wine tasting with the sommelier, enjoying classical piano or jazz music in The Living Room, or simply relaxing in the comfort of your suite. Taormina, Sicily, Italy is famed for its 3rd-century Greek theater, soaring Mount Etna, and picturesque coves with sandy beaches, a place of a thousand dreams.
Sorrento, Italy, is the perfect launch point for touring the stunning cliffside towns of the Amalfi Coast and the UNESCO-listed wonder of ancient Pompeii. It offers ample appeals of its own, including delectable Limoncello. The voyage culminates in Rome, the Eternal City. Its art and architecture are unsurpassed treasures that belong to the world.
