Project Sama represents Neptune Co.'s first ultra-luxury experience at sea, a joint venture between the Aman Group and Cruise Saudi. This unique new concept in the niche of ultra-luxury offshore resorts occupies a previously unexplored space in the leisure market.
The 183-meter-long, 23,000-ton vessel is Mariotti's first dual-fuel new build, designed to exceed environmental priorities both upon delivery and in the future. The exterior profile and guest accommodations were designed by SINOT, world-renowned yacht designers. Project Sama will welcome guests in fifty sumptuous suites, offering exceptional luxury, expansive public spaces, and unparalleled leisure facilities—the hallmark of the Aman brand.
“It is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with Aman, the pinnacle of high-end hospitality,” says Marco Ghiglione T. Mariotti, Managing Director. “We are proud to offer our expertise in luxury yacht building to this exciting new venture, which offers a unique combination of luxury, safety, and versatility that will revolutionize the art of traveling at sea. It is yet another example of the skill and capability of Made in Italy to satisfy the desires of the world’s most discerning customers.”.
This project represents a significant opportunity to demonstrate once again the invaluable expertise and experience of the local suppliers and subcontractors working on this exciting concept. Among them are De Wave, responsible for the luxury interior finishes, and Ortec Santamaria, who will handle the electrical systems, further solidifying the collaboration with T. Mariotti on new-build luxury projects. The Sama project is scheduled for completion in 2026; its official name will be announced at a later date.
