Grupo Vidanta has launched the VidantaWorld Elegant cruise ship, a groundbreaking addition to the world of luxury cruising.
According to the company, this one-of-a-kind ship combines the exclusivity of a private yacht with the opulence of a luxury liner, setting a new benchmark for high-end experiences. Sailing this year, this adults-only experience offers travellers the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most coveted destinations, with breathtaking itineraries across the Caribbean and Europe now open for booking.
VidantaWorld’s Elegant has been completely reimagined to offer the pinnacle of luxury, technology, and design. At over 500 feet long, Elegant ranks among the world’s 20 largest mega yachts, and features six public decks, 149 staterooms and suites, 13 bars and lounges, a full-service spa and fitness centre, three top-deck pools, and multiple jacuzzis.
This vessel, transformed through a visionary project led by architects Rockwell Group and SMC Design, preserves the charm of a timeless vessel while integrating cutting-edge innovations and world-class amenities. The ship boasts an expanded superstructure with more spacious common areas, shimmering pools, gourmet dining options, and stylish lounges. Every space aboard has been designed to provide expansive terraces and open deck spaces, creating a true yacht-like experience, while the cabin layout has been carefully curated, prioritising fewer but far more luxurious cabins, ensuring each guest enjoys an indulgent and personalised journey.
Before its official launch, VidantaWorld’s Elegant will offer exclusive one-night escapes for guests of Vidanta Riviera Maya throughout November and December. These special previews will allow guests to explore the ship and experience its grandeur firsthand. Additional preview itineraries are also set to be announced, with some beginning as early as the Christmas holiday week. Full itineraries for 2025 are also open for booking, including voyages to the Caribbean and Europe.
The ship will explore some of the world’s most exclusive and hard-to-reach destinations, including tropical paradises in the Caribbean, the stunning volcanic landscapes of the Azores, the glamour of the French Riviera, the breathtaking coasts of Greece and Italy, and many more.
