CRUISE NEWS

Luxury company and celebrity favourite, Atzaro Group has launched its phinisi super-yacht, Prana by Atzaro. Sailing the waters of Indonesia including UNESCO World Heritage-listed coral reefs at Komodo National Park, the hand-built 55-metre boat has been crafted in the style of traditional ironwood and teak Indonesian phinisi (a sailboat with two masts) and is the largest of its kind in the world. Offering space and understated opulence, the 18-crew Prana by Atzaro features nine elegant suites with ensuite bathrooms, a yoga deck which doubles as an open-air cinema, a luxury spa, dining room and water sports deck – the sweet spot to watch spine-tingling sunsets. Other onboard experiences include fine dining, unlimited water-sports and visits to shore that take guests to the edge of civilisation. Guests will also love viewing the area’s exotic wildlife that includes Komodo dragons, monkeys and the magnificent marine life that thrive amid the cerulean waters. Prana sails to Komodo from May to October; Raja Ampat from December to April, and the Banda Islands in October to November, and again from April to May. pranabyatzaro.com
