100% Green Luxury Cruising — Powered by Wind.
BTY Cruises® builds one of the world’s largest sailing luxury cruise vessels, delivering a 5-star, all-inclusive experience with yacht-like appeal, global reach and scalable commercial performance.
What BTY is building
A profitable 5-star cruise line built around a scalable fleet of identical green sailing vessels.
A new category
Not a pure cruise ship. Not a pure yacht. But a perfect combination. Better Than Yachting.
Scale with exclusivity
250 guests, 125 crew, and up to 310 operating days per year—designed for premium experience and strong utilization.
Designed for sustainability
Sail-first propulsion, regenerative power, hybrid-electric systems and battery operation in sensitive areas.
Project strategy
BTY explores a rollout of 4–8–16–24 identical vessels, adjustable down to a single ship. Standardization reduces training, maintenance, spare parts and design costs, while allowing differentiated styling per vessel. And maximum flexibility for customers / passengers.
