Aman at Sea is finally hitting the Caribbean in November 2027, and the numbers are as eye-watering as you'd expect from the brand that treats privacy like a controlled substance.
Amangati, the 600-foot, 23,000-ton motor yacht with just 47 suites and a maximum of 94 guests, kicks off its inaugural Caribbean season on November 21, 2027. It runs through January 2, 2028, with five- to eight-night voyages across the Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, and Dutch Caribbean. Think late departures, overnight calls in Gustavia, anchorages off Barbuda for a dedicated marina day, limousine tenders to secluded cays, and a two-night New Year’s celebration at a private resort in Nevis. No floating parking lots here.[[1]](https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/ports-destinations/aman-at-sea-s-inaugural-caribbean-itineraries-are-open-to-book)[[1]](https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/ports-destinations/aman-at-sea-s-inaugural-caribbean-itineraries-are-open-to-book)
Entry-level pricing starts around $38,500 per suite for a five-night sailing — roughly $7,700 per person if you're traveling as a couple. That's before the extras. The model is only partially inclusive: meals at the main restaurant Alira, soft drinks, WiFi, laundry, gratuities, and access to watersports toys are covered. Specialty restaurants, premium wines and spirits, spa treatments, and most excursions are not. Peak holiday weeks and larger suites (up to the 3,800-square-foot Aman Suite with its own Jacuzzi terrace) will push well north of $10,000 per person per night.[[2]](https://blog.aeriavoyages.com/p/aman-at-sea-what-it-is-how-it-works)[[3]](https://www.mundycruising.co.uk/cruise-news/cruise-advice/luxury-hotel-brand-yacht-cruise-comparison)
How It Stacks Up Against the Usual Suspects
Compare that to a comparable seven-night Caribbean itinerary on Regent Seven Seas or Silversea. Regent's top suites in the Caribbean often land in the $1,500–$2,500 per person per night range when you factor in their genuinely all-inclusive approach — unlimited excursions, premium drinks, business-class air in many packages, and far more included shore time. Silversea and Seabourn sit in a similar ballpark but with smaller ships and more intimate service than the big Regent vessels.
Aman is playing a different game. At nearly double the nightly rate of the established ultra-luxury players, it's betting that its land-based cult following will pay for extreme space, ryokan-inspired serenity, a 2:1 crew ratio, and the ability to actually get off the ship without joining a conga line of 1,200 fellow passengers. The suites dwarf what you'll find on a Silversea Odyssey-class ship. Whether the experience matches an Aman resort on land is the multi-million-dollar question.
Early Med rates for similar length sailings have been quoted around $38k–$54k per suite. Caribbean winter pricing, especially around the holidays, is expected to be higher. This isn't a test-the-waters product.[[2]](https://blog.aeriavoyages.com/p/aman-at-sea-what-it-is-how-it-works)
The Points Angle: Spoiler, There Isn't One
Here's the part that will annoy every optimization nerd reading this: there are no confirmed partnerships with World of Hyatt, Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts, or any major credit card program that turn these bookings into a points hack. Virtuoso advisors can access the product and may throw in some perks, but don't expect suite upgrades, resort credits, or elite recognition the way you get at an Aman resort on land. This is cash (or miles transferred to cash) territory.
For travelers who already drop serious money at Aman properties, the cruise represents the first real test of whether the brand's DNA survives at sea. The partial inclusions feel almost cheeky coming from a hotel group known for seamless, everything's-taken-care-of experiences. On a yacht this small, the lack of all-inclusive pricing stands out.
That said, if you're the type who finds Regent's 750-guest ships a bit too democratic and values silence over free unlimited WiFi and 87 shore excursions, Amangati is worth the premium. The Caribbean program looks genuinely different — more unscripted, more exclusive ports, fewer people. It's the anti-megayacht.
Book the shortest early-season Caribbean leg through a top Virtuoso advisor to test the waters without full financial commitment. If it delivers the Aman magic on a boat, you'll know immediately. If it doesn't, you've only burned a week and some very expensive airfare. Either way, the intel will be worth it for the next time someone asks whether ultra-luxury cruising has finally grown up.
