In 2006 the three-ship fleet of luxury sailing yachts will sail itineraries in Costa Rica, Panama Canal, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Greek Isles and Transatlantic.

On board, a corporation may choose to provide special packages for beverages, shore excursions or spa services. Amenities, gifts and nightly VIP turndown can be tailored to itineraries as well. On full-ship charters, company logos may be printed on the daily activity sheet delivered to each stateroom, napkins, signs posted around the ship, as well as banners and flags hung on the ship´s gangway or on the ship´s flagpole.
In keeping with the line´s casually elegant ambience, all ships feature a single, open seating dining policy in The Restaurant, allowing guests to dine when, where and with whom they please at every meal.
