Mexico’s Grupo Vidanta has announced its entry into the world of luxury small ship cruising.

The company acquired the ship in 2017 which offers 149 staterooms and suites, 11 bars and lounges, a full-service spa, and a top deck pool following an extensive refurbishment.

"Vidanta is proud to bring a revolutionary new approach to cruising. We have built a legacy 45 years of luxury and personalized service offered by our resort vacations. Now we’re extending that legacy to the open sea," said Ivan Chavez, executive vice president of Grupo Vidanta.
Vidanta Cruises will sail itineraries that no other cruise line is offering, the comoany says. Full itinerary details will be announced in the near future.
