What are Luxury Branded Megayachts?
Luxury branded megayachts are a new category of ultra-premium ocean travel. Unlike traditional cruise ships, these vessels carry between 36 and 144 guests, are designed in partnership with iconic hotel and lifestyle brands, and deliver a level of personalization, cuisine, and design that was previously only available on land.
Four brands currently define this category: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons Yachts, Orient Express Sailing Yachts, and Aman at Sea. Each brings its own design language, itinerary philosophy, and service culture to sea.
What Virtuoso Access Means for You
As a Virtuoso Top Producer, TopFlight Travels unlocks benefits unavailable when booking directly with the yacht brand. On select Virtuoso Voyages, guests receive a welcome cocktail reception, an exclusive hosted dinner with an onboard Virtuoso representative, and additional onboard credit or a private shore excursion — all included at no extra cost. These amenities are in addition to any promotions the brand is already offering.

“Julie has been a refreshing change from the cookie-cutter agencies we've used in the past.”
- Melissa B.
TopFlight has assisted us with two completed trips. There are two more on the calendar and many more to come! Julie's ideas are refreshing, and she won't stop until she finds a solution for your family! She takes the time to understand the family's needs and wants, and is super responsive. I'm so glad we found her!
“Would be great if all professionals were nearly as attentive to clients.”
- Lee B.
Julie Jones is a great travel agent! She booked our cruise on Uniworld, fabulous!, and managed our flights.
She returns email immediately, calls you right back, fixes any problem, and just a joy to work with.
Although we live in LA and Julie lives in St. Louis, she's our forever agent.
“We were all so impressed and will definitely be using Julie to plan future trips!!"
- Susie M.
Julie helped some girlfriends and I plan a trip to Playa Del Carmen for our 45th birthdays. She was on top of every last detail and answered all of our questions right away. We LOVED the hotel where we stayed, and also had a few upgrades that Julie arranged for us that were really nice.
“My first experience with Top Flight could not have been better.”
- Carey S.
Julie took my original ideas, and made recommendations that brought us to a place I would NEVER have found on my own. It wasn't a vacation, it was an experience. From the moment we landed until we left, there was awesomeness at every turn. I'm usually a scrooge about travelling but now I can't wait for our next trip.....planned, or course, by Julie Jones or not at all.
Luxury Branded Megayacht FAQs
A luxury branded megayacht is an ultra-exclusive ship built and operated by a world-famous hospitality brand, such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Aman, or Orient Express, that brings the full land-based experience of that brand to sea. These ships carry between 94 and 452 guests, compared to 3,000 to 5,000 on a mainstream cruise ship. Every accommodation is a suite with a private terrace, and crew-to-guest ratios are the highest in the industry.
Silversea and Seabourn are exceptional cruise lines, but they operate as cruise brands. Branded megayachts like Four Seasons, Aman, and Orient Express bring an entirely different identity to sea - the service culture, design, and dining philosophy of iconic land-based hospitality brands. Guest counts are smaller (94 to 222), and the experience feels closer to a private charter than a cruise.
It depends on the line. Orient Express and Ritz-Carlton are fully all-inclusive, covering dining, beverages, gratuities, and Wi-Fi. Four Seasons follows a hotel-style à la carte model where meals and drinks are billed separately, and Aman includes only daily breakfast with most restaurants charged additionally. Comparing fares across brands requires understanding what is and is not included, which varies significantly.
Four brands lead this category. Ritz-Carlton operates three ships (94 to 452 guests) and is the most accessible entry point, with fully all-inclusive fares starting around $7,500 per guest. Four Seasons Yacht I launched in 2026 carrying 222 guests across 95 suites. Orient Express Corinthian is a true sailing yacht, fully all-inclusive, rooted in the brand's legendary heritage. Aman at Sea launches in 2027 with just 94 guests, the most exclusive option in the category.
Branded megayachts are ideal for couples seeking a genuinely romantic, unhurried experience, experienced luxury travelers who want something closer to a private charter than a traditional cruise, and design-forward travelers drawn to the aesthetics of brands like Aman and Orient Express. Families travel well on Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton specifically. Anyone who values privacy, exceptional service ratios, and access to smaller ports will feel at home on these ships.
Entry-level 7-night fares start around $7,500 per guest on Ritz-Carlton (all-inclusive) and $20,000 per suite on Four Seasons (à la carte). Orient Express voyages begin around €17,700 per suite for shorter Mediterranean sailings. Aman at Sea voyages are priced on inquiry and vary by itinerary, suite category, and season. Contact TopFlight Travels for current availability and pricing. Because inclusions vary so widely by brand, comparing fares requires understanding the true cost once dining, beverages, and excursions are factored in.
These ships have very limited inventory and are very popular. As a result, you will want to book as far in advance as possible to ensure you find availability. Booking through a Virtuoso advisor like TopFlight Travels means the fare stays the same but you gain access to amenities not available when booking directly, including onboard credit, welcome events, hosted dinners, and potential suite upgrades depending on availability.
Start with a conversation. Reach Julie directly at julie@topflight.travel or (314) 966-8555, or submit the Luxury Megayacht Inquiry form on this page. Come with a general sense of your travel dates, preferred destinations, group size, and budget range. From there, I handle everything: comparing brands, securing Virtuoso amenities, booking the voyage, and building out the full trip around it.
