pool and other facilities and amenities. What distinguishes us is that we offer a personalised lifestyle cruising experience, enhanced by our renowned Asian hospitality and service. JL: What sets Seabourn apart is how far we go to connect and provide special moments. We really want to care for, inspire and surprise those who travel with us, and we do that throughout the whole journey, whether that’s via our ‘Book With Confidence’ reassurance, or the incredible onshore and onboard experiences. The personal connection we can provide guests due to our generous staff ratios means that everything from a personalised kayak tour in the northernmost settlement on Earth to a cocktail party in a guest’s ocean-front suite is possible. It’s all about creating moments that enable our guests to live their best possible lives. That’s what true luxury travel means today. RM: Silversea offers an unrivalled level of comfort and luxury through our ships’ ocean-view suites, which boast one of the highest space-perguest ratios, as well as our trademark hospitality, uncompromising service, around-the-clock dedicated butlers, and exquisite international cuisine. We excel at unlocking authentic and culturally enriching experiences in more than 900 destinations across all seven continents. For example, our S.A.L.T. programme enables guests to understand the soul of a destination through lectures, workshops, cooking classes in S.A.L.T. Lab, and locally inspired dishes and cocktails in the S.A.L.T. Kitchen and S.A.L.T. Bar. Meanwhile, our Otium wellness programme, which debuted on the new Silver Dawn, extends from guests’ suites to the spa and beyond, focusing on pampering and pleasure. CP: Three of our all-suite Star Class yachts – Star Breeze, Star Legend and Star Pride – fit very well within the luxury space. We recently lengthened and renovated these vessels, which now each have 50 new suites (bringing capacity to 312 guests), two speciality restaurants, a spa and fitness centre, more efficient engines, new suite bathrooms, and more. Luxury is a choice, so we also have traditional ships that offer a true sailing experience with both their own unique amenities and many of the same luxuries as our Star Class. DP: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is carving out its own space within the industry. Building our yachts from the ground up means we can truly tailor every element of the experience with our customers front of mind. The result includes some of the most spacious accommodations at sea, such as our two-storey Loft Suite, and thoughtful superyacht features, like our marinastyle platform to provide easy access to various watersports while at anchor. We’ve placed significant emphasis on creating unique programming, such as our range of culinary experiences and our speciality restaurant S.E.A., designed by Chef Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, the threeMichelin-star restaurant at The RitzCarlton in Wolfsburg. We’re also focused on delivering extraordinary itineraries that provide an intimate look at each destination and its culture through oneof-a-kind onshore experiences. AZ: Swan Hellenic has intimate ships with elegant interiors and high-quality amenities, but it’s the personal touch our crew members provide that elevates the guest experience to a new level of luxury. Our crew befriend our guests, greeting them by name, remembering their favourite food and drinks, and providing customised services. Similarly, our onboard experts and expedition leaders work hard to create immersive and educational experiences that enable guests to gain deep insights into the history, nature or culture of the destinations they’re visiting. The small size of our ships also helps us to deliver a luxurious experience by allowing us to have one of the industry’s highest crew-to-guest ratios and the freedom to offer exclusive onshore experiences that would not be possible with larger groups. For example, we can land in restricted sites in Antarctica, which helps us to deliver once-in-alifetime moments to guests.
