Operating areas & destinations

The BTY concept is based on solid yet gradual growth of a fleet of largely identical vessels. For the first four ships, operating areas and destinations are clear and market-driven.

From April through October, vessels primarily operate in the Mediterranean.
From November through March, operations shift to the Caribbean.
This seasonal rhythm results in two Atlantic crossings per year, including calls at the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and the Azores.

Mediterranean

Mediterranean itineraries include Málaga, the Balearic Islands, Barcelona, Saint-Tropez,the Italian coast, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. Routes then continue toward Croatia and Venice,followed by Greek port cities and even Istanbul.

Caribbean

In the Caribbean, voyages cover major islands such as St. Maarten, Barbados and the British Virgin Islands, as well as destinations on both sides of the Panama Canal.

Beyond Four Vessels

With a fleet exceeding four vessels, geographic expansion becomes natural.
Options include the Red Sea via the Suez Canal and further east to the Maldives,
Madagascar and surrounding regions.

Another scenario involves semi-permanent deployment in French Polynesia, combined with voyages to New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia and onward into Southeast Asia.

Northern Europe & Arctic Waters

Northern Europe also presents strong opportunities, including regions with seasonal ice.
While the vessels are not Polar Class 6, operations in Arctic waters with limited drifting ice are well within design parameters.

Global Voyages

Finally, with sufficient fleet scale and market demand, a complete circumnavigation of the globeis both realistic and highly compelling.
