The construction of Aman's first luxury vessel has reached a new milestone with the laying of the ship's keel.
The ceremony took place at the CI.MAR shipyard in San Giorgio di Nogaro (Italy) and the steel for the superyacht was cut in March.

During the celebration, which included the traditional coin ceremony, Jonathan Wilson, CEO of Aman at Sea, and Marco Ghiglione, CEO of T. Mariotti, lowered the first 200-ton steel block of the ship.
Vlad Doronin, President and CEO of the Aman Group, stated: “Today’s ceremony marks a momentous step in the development of Aman at Sea and in my strategic vision to create a new category of ultra-luxury megayacht that delivers exceptional travel experiences alongside Aman’s core values of privacy, peace, generous space, and unparalleled service.”
“This is an exciting evolution for the brand as we continue to diversify our geographic portfolio on land, with a pipeline of 12 properties in development, and bring Aman's spirit and architectural distinction to the world's oceans for the first time with the launch of Aman at Sea“.
The ship, a joint venture with Cruise Saudi, is 183 meters long and powered by two fuels, will have 50 luxury suites, each with a private balcony, and is scheduled to receive passengers from 2027.
“We are incredibly proud to have reached another significant milestone in the construction of this amazing project. The laying of the keel of the world's most luxurious yacht brings to life the ambitious design that our team has worked so hard to create. We are deeply grateful to everyone involved and can't wait to see how this unique project continues to progress“.
