    Aqua Lares

    Superyacht Expeditions: East Africa & The Arctic

    Setting a new standard for small-ship exploration, Aqua Lares is the world’s first superyacht offering both individual cabin bookings and private charters for expeditions in East Africa & The Norwegian Arctic.

    Featuring 15 bespoke cabins, a one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, and expert-led excursions, Aqua Lares offers a superyacht experience unlike any other. While sailing in East Africa, guests can discover biodiversity hotspots such as Aldabra and La Digue, as well as remote islands including the African Banks which are generally inaccessible to larger cruises. In the Arctic, itineraries explore Svalbard’s icy wilderness, home to polar bears, walruses, and dramatic glaciers that define one of the planet’s last great frontiers.

    Aqua Lares pairs days of adventure with all the comforts of a five-star hotel, including a curated fine dining experience, highly personalized service, and a range of social spaces for rest and relaxation. Whether it’s sipping cocktails on the sun deck, cooling off at the jacuzzi, indulging in a spa treatment, or setting out on guided Arctic expeditions, moments on board can be just as special as those spent exploring the remote islands of the Indian & Arctic Oceans.
