Our Ships

A modern
floating hotel.
Step on board.
Even the coolest hotels are still stuck
in one place, which means moving
requires packing. Not with us.
Our hotels are ships. Iconic black ships. They take you—and your
luggage—everywhere you want to go. On board, there’s more than
anything you’d find on land. And everything comes with a view.
