AMAN launches superyacht in 2025

First Ritz-Carlton, then Four Seasons, then Orient-Express and now AMAN has entered the cruise ship market with its own an ultra-luxury motor yacht.

Labelled Project Sama, the super yacht will feature 50 suites and is due to come in service in 2025.

AMAN - the Russian-owned hospitality brand - has joined forces with a branch of Saudi Arabia's investment fund to pay for this 183-metre, 23,000 gross tonnage yacht which will be built in Italy. 

With only 50-cabins - 100 passengers - AMAN's yacht will be much more intimate than Ritz-Carlton's Evrima - which can carry 239 guests.
