Grupo Vidanta proudly announces the launch of VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT Ultra Mega Yacht, a revolutionary addition to the luxury cruising world. This unique mega yacht elevates the cruising experience by blending the intimacy of a private yacht with the grandeur of a luxury liner, setting a new standard for high-end travel. Set to sail this year, this adults-only experience will take travelers to some of the world’s most sought-after destinations, including breathtaking itineraries across the Caribbean and Europe.

VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT has undergone a complete transformation, emerging as a state-of-the-art masterpiece that represents the pinnacle of luxury, technology, and design. At over 500 feet long, it ranks among the world’s 20 largest mega yachts. The vessel features six public decks, 149 staterooms and suites, 13 bars and lounges, a full-service spa and fitness center, three top-deck pools, and multiple jacuzzis. The visionary redesign, led by the renowned Rockwell Group and SMC Design, balances the yacht’s timeless elegance with modern innovations and world-class amenities.

Guests aboard VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT will experience spacious terraces, open deck spaces, gourmet dining, and stylish lounges that provide a true yacht-like atmosphere. The cabin layout was intentionally crafted to offer fewer but more luxurious accommodations, ensuring an indulgent, personalized journey for every guest.

The yacht’s maritime operations are managed by Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement Cruise Services (BSM Cruise), a leading ship management company with over 140 years of experience. With BSM Cruise at the helm, guests can rest assured that the vessel meets the highest standards of safety, security, and operational excellence, ensuring a seamless journey at sea.

“At Grupo Vidanta, we continually strive to redefine luxury travel, and VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT is the perfect embodiment of that vision,” said Iván Chávez, executive vice president of Grupo Vidanta. “This one-of-a-kind luxury vessel offers the exclusivity of a private yacht combined with the world-class amenities of a premier cruise line, granting access to the globe’s most desired destinations. Every moment on board captures the essence of timeless elegance, blending classic luxury with modern indulgence like never before.”

“We are excited to bring a truly unique product to the market with VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT,” said Martin Springer, president of BSM Cruise & Hospitality at Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement. “With our 140 years of maritime expertise, we are proud to ensure that this vessel operates at the highest levels of safety and performance. Partnering with Grupo Vidanta on this incredible project allows us to deliver the gold standard of operational excellence for a seamless and luxurious experience at sea.”

Before its official launch, VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT will offer exclusive one-night escapes for guests of Vidanta Riviera Maya in November and December. These special previews will allow guests to explore the ship and experience its grandeur firsthand. Additional preview itineraries are expected to be announced, with some beginning as early as the Christmas holiday week. Full itineraries for 2025 are also available for booking, featuring voyages to destinations in the Caribbean and Europe.

The ship will visit some of the world’s most exclusive and remote destinations, including tropical paradises in the Caribbean, the volcanic landscapes of the Azores, the glitz of the French Riviera, and the picturesque coasts of Greece and Italy. Travelers can look forward to a continual release of new itineraries, designed to showcase these stunning locations.

A hallmark of the VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT experience is its exceptional service, with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Guests will enjoy personalized concierge service, ensuring that every detail is tailored to their needs. Dining onboard is elevated with 13 restaurants and lounges offering gourmet cuisine crafted by renowned chefs using the finest local ingredients.
