A new ultra-luxury cruise line will set sail in 2025 for the first time and it’s promising to be the ultimate experience as you cruise in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
VidantaWorld bought a ship in 2017 has spent the last few years completely remodeling the vessel that is now named VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT. It will be an adults only cruise ship (18+) that launches in February 2025.
The ship has 149 cabins that carry up to 298 guests. It will offer an almost 1:1 crew to guest ratio with the ship offering almost 2x space per guest than the average cruise ship.
VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT will have 13 restaurants and bars but there’s going to be one thing about dining that really makes the ship stand out. While most luxury cruise lines and many premium ones (Virgin, Viking etc.) include all dining options, that will not be the case with this new cruise line.
Complimentary buffet breakfast and lunch will be included in cruise fares, but that is it. À la carte lunch and dinner will cost extra including room service.
Complimentary WiFi will also be included but guests can pay extra for premium WiFi. Streaming services and video chatting are only available with the premium WiFi.
Business Insider said that week long cruises start at $25,000 for two, that comes out to just under $1,800 per person, per day. That’s a pretty steep price to pay to get nickel and dimed once you are on the ship.
The ship will offer different itineraries that range from a six night Caribbean cruises from St. Maarten to a seven-night cruises to the Adriatic from Catania.
Cabins on the ship range from 139 sq. ft. inside staterooms to the 542 sq. ft. Grand Tidal Balcony Suite.
Iván Chávez, executive vice president of Grupo Vidanta, gave the following statement about this new cruise line:
“At Grupo Vidanta, we continually strive to redefine luxury travel, and VidantaWorld’s ELEGANT is the perfect embodiment of that vision.
“This one-of-a-kind luxury vessel offers the exclusivity of a private yacht combined with the world-class amenities of a premier cruise line, granting access to the globe’s most desired destinations.
“Every moment on board captures the essence of timeless elegance, blending classic luxury with modern indulgence like never before.”
The cruise line’s inaugural cruise will set sail on February 22, 2025 from the Dominican Republic.
