Aman has gone to sea. Not a charter — its own first ship, Amangati, sailing the Mediterranean from spring 2027.

What the fare includes, as far as food goes

  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Alira, the all-day restaurant
  • Daily in-suite breakfast, ordered in advance
  • Light bites around the ship, and handmade ice cream from the Gelateria
  • Non-alcoholic drinks and beer
Akari (Japanese), Hiori (teppanyaki) and the charcoal Aman Grill are not on the list, and the site does not say whether they cost extra

Akari (Japanese), Hiori (teppanyaki) and the charcoal-fired Aman Grill are not on that list, and whether they cost extra is something Aman has not published. That is the first question to ask before you book.

So what is Alira?

  • Half open-air: the indoor room flows onto an open deck, sea views throughout, open morning to night
  • A round dining room built around a tree, with a full wall of falling water behind it
  • The menu follows the ports — whatever the day’s market had is what reaches the table
  • Italian at its base, French technique, an accent of Spain and the Middle East
  • Handmade pasta, wood-fired seafood, slow-roasted vegetables, finished with olive oil, lemon and herbs

Questions worth asking before you book

  • Children can sail from six months, but a child aged two or older needs a suite of their own
  • Dress code is Yacht Casual; no shorts at dinner
  • Fares are per suite — Aman’s wording is “per suite rate”
  • The ship is cashless, and gratuities are included in the fare
183 meters, 47 suites, at most 94 guests, each suite with a private terrace and an on-call Suite Host

This is not a cruise ship with thousands of passengers: 183 meters long, 47 suites, and at most 94 guests. Designed by Sinot, built at the T. Mariotti yard in Genoa, launched in July 2026.

Sailings

The maiden voyage is May 7, 2027, Palma to Nice, six nights and seven ports. Two others stand out: May 13–21 overlaps the Cannes Film Festival, and June 2–7 lands on the Monaco Grand Prix. Payment is 25% at booking and the balance 150 days before departure.

If you could pick only one, would it be Cannes or Monaco?
