Designed for luxurious ocean living, superyacht SOLACE is one of the most impressive vessels on the charter market
Unfolding over three years with six segments, the three-year circumnavigation of charter yacht SOLACE features a broad range of terrains and territories, inviting those onboard to experience some of the most engaging yacht charter destinations on the planet.
From glistening glaciers of Antarctica yacht charters to endless stretches of idyllic coastlines and pristine beaches of charter routes in the Maldives, the itineraries appeal to a broad range of charter guests, from those who thrive with fast-paced sports to others who enjoy the serenity of pure relaxation on remote islands.
This inaugural segment departs from Dubai, setting the stage for an expedition that balances the sophistication of Middle East yacht charters with tropical island exploration. Initial stops around Musandam and Muscat offer passengers a chance to explore dramatic ocean fjords, ancient forts, and local markets.
As the itinerary heads south, the Maldives’ azure atolls beckon with underwater adventures, including reef dives, drift dives, and guided snorkelling tours, as well as idle days on powdery beaches and visits to private island resorts. This 21-day leap from desert landscapes to coral paradises provides both cultural variety and pure tropical indulgence.
Summer 2026 is themed around biodiversity, isolation, and discovery. The first port of call for charter yacht SOLACE is a taste of Seychelles yacht charters, allowing those onboard to explore unique granite coastlines, rare birdlife, and giant tortoises.
In Mozambique, charter guests can expect vibrant marine environments ideal for diving or snorkelling, along with a chance to sample local East African cuisine and culture. The route culminates in Madagascar, where endemic wildlife, including lemurs and chameleons, shares the spotlight with striking geological formations and ancient Baobab avenues. Naturalists, wildlife lovers, and adventure seekers will find much on offer on this biologically rich stretch of ocean.
The SOLACE Odyssey’s Pacific passage explores some of the region’s most compelling nautical environments. In Palau, expect pristine dive sites, WWII wrecks, and the renowned Jellyfish Lake.
Yap offers a window into Pacific island traditions and stone money rituals, while stops in the Philippines deliver opportunities to dive among coral gardens, explore hidden beaches, and experience vibrant local festivals. The final leg in Japan blends nature and culture, volcanic islands, onsen retreats, and centuries-old temples, offering an unexpected contrast of an Asia yacht charter to the tropical Pacific start.
The Mid-Pacific itinerary is an ideal mix of cultural exploration and natural beauty. Beginning this leg of the yacht charter in Papua New Guinea, small-scale village visits, ceremonial performances, and rugged fjords showcase traditional lifestyles rarely encountered elsewhere.
Stops in Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and the charter routes of Fiji, layer diving, hiking, and cultural encounters against a backdrop of volcanic islands and unfrequented coastal communities. Tonga provides a gateway to Polynesia’s renowned naval and cultural history, while French Polynesia yacht charter elements deliver classic South Pacific scenery with crystal clear lagoons, coral atolls, and high-calibre diving sites.
This high-latitude expedition is designed for travellers curious about polar ecosystems, glacial dynamics, and towering mountain ranges. The Antarctica yacht charter portion revolves around Zodiac excursions to colonies of penguins, whale-watching opportunities, and landings near shelves of floating ice.
After rounding Cape Horn, the itinerary enters Patagonia, where charter guests can explore icefields, fjords, and remote coastal villages. Kayaking, alpine treks, and wildlife photography expeditions are paired with onboard lectures from polar experts, making this one of the most immersive yacht itineraries available.
The final passage completes the circumnavigation with a northernmost chapter through Greenland charter routes, Baffin Island, and into the historic Northwest Passage. Expect Zodiac landings amid iceberg-filled fjords, guided explorations of Inuit communities, and daily lectures on polar geology and climate science.
This segment is designed for slow, careful progression, prioritising wildlife sightings, glacier calving events, and unique Arctic activity (such as sea kayaking and polar plunges) over distance. It’s an expedition that merges natural science with expeditionary travel.
