A groundbreaking luxury cruise itinerary has been unveiled, combining four high-end small ships from prestigious hotel brands into a single, seamless voyage across the Mediterranean. Specialist travel agent Mundy Cruising has crafted this exclusive journey, titled "Four Icons, One Voyage," which brings together vessels from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons, Aman at Sea, and Orient Express Sailing Yachts. Prices for this 52-night sailing start from £79,995 per person, offering an unparalleled ultra-luxury travel experience.
Unprecedented Itinerary and Luxury Amenities
The voyage commences in Rome on 21 May 2027, where guests will board the 298-guest Evrima, the inaugural small ship from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Over seven nights, passengers will sail from Rome to Monte Carlo, with stops at Porto Santo Stefano, Portoferraio, Livorno, Portofino, Cannes, and St Tropez. The yachts provide residential-style living in Terrace Suites, complete with personal butlers, world-class dining, legendary service, and thoughtful amenities. Due to their relatively diminutive size, these ships can dock in smaller, more exclusive ports, enhancing the itinerary's uniqueness.
Seamless Transitions and Extended Stays
After the initial leg, guests will enjoy a four-night stay at the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, followed by a private transfer to Cannes for a six-night break at the Carlton Cannes. The journey resumes in Nice aboard the 94-guest Amangati, Aman's highly anticipated entry into ultra-luxury cruising. During a six-night voyage, passengers will experience Aman's signature service in Deluxe Suites as they traverse the Mediterranean.
Upon disembarkation, a private transfer leads to Venice, where passengers will board the 222-guest Four Seasons I. This nine-night voyage from Fusina, Italy, to Valletta, Malta, offers an immersive itinerary from Sea View Suites. In Valletta, guests will transfer to the boutique Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux hotel for an 11-night stay, adding a land-based luxury component to the trip.
Final Leg and Inclusions
The final segment begins on 3 July 2027 with an eight-night cruise from Valletta to Marseille, calling at Trapani, Mahon, and Ibiza. Guests will stay in a Suite Panoramique aboard the 110-guest Orient Express Corinthian, enjoying Art Deco-inspired luxury and diverse dining experiences. The 52-night journey includes return business class flights from the UK, all private overseas transfers, hotel stays, meals, drinks, wifi, and access to water sports platforms, ensuring a comprehensive and hassle-free experience.
