Artikel Kurs auf die Entdeckung: Die bahnbrechende blaue Kreuzfahrt an Bord der PROMETEJ

Die Weltmeere sind riesig und voller unerzählter Geschichten, aber derzeit regt eine besondere Reise die Phantasie derjenigen an, die über den Horizont hinausblicken: die Blaue Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Entdeckeryacht PROMETEJ.

This isn’t just another leisurely sail; it’s an ambitious expedition with a profound purpose – to explore the secrets of longevity and healthy human healthspan by venturing to the planet’s BlueZones™ (areas in which people are supposed to have comparatively long and healthy lives) and other untouched corners of the globe. The vision behind this unique voyage is to immerse a carefully selected group of health enthusiasts, pioneering scientists, innovative entrepreneurs, and intrepid adventurers in diverse cultures, dietary habits, and lifestyles known for their association with exceptional health and extended lifespans.

The route itself is a testament to the project’s ambition, stretching from the Northwest Passage to the dramatic landscapes of Antarktis, a truly global quest for knowledge. What sets this cruise apart is its focus: not on typical luxury charter, but on fostering collaboration and learning among individuals passionate about extending human vitality. For those who step on board, each journey begins with a personalised health assessment at AYUN, a renowned Swiss longevity clinic specialising in preventive care, ensuring that each participant’s experience on board, from nutrition to wellness activities, is tailored to optimise their health throughout the trip. The very essence of the Blue Cruise lies in a deep curiosity about enhancing life quality and pushing the boundaries of human health, drawing together those who seek both adventure and a deeper understanding of well-being.

Playing a collaborative role in enabling this visionary project we are proud to offer ongoing support and consultation to PROMETEJ, and contribute to the valuable developments that this voyage will undoubtedly bring forth. Recognising the unique demands of such an ambitious round-the-world expedition, the initial crucial step was to identify the ideal vessel. Leveraging our extensive knowledge of the yacht market was instrumental in helping with the acquisition of PROMETEJ. This impressive 45-metre explorer yacht has a remarkable history, originally built in 1956 as a robust icebreaker by the Romanian shipyard Santierul Naval Galatz. This heritage underscores her inherent strength and ability to navigate a wide range of challenging marine environments, making her a perfect fit for a journey of such magnitude. In 2005, a dedicated Owner undertook a significant rebuild, transforming PROMETEJ into a sophisticated and capable explorer superyacht ready for worldwide adventures. Then, PROMETEJ’s unique suitability for the Blue Cruise, with her strong construction and the extensive prior work, was fully realised by her current Owner through a further refit, including storm-proof doors, cranes, new generators, and A4 navigation.

Beyond the acquisition, Ocean Independence supported the extensive refit completed this year, ensuring PROMETEJ was perfectly equipped for her scientific and exploratory mission. A key feature that makes PROMETEJ exceptionally well-suited for this voyage is her impressive 6,000 nautical mile range. This capability is essential for traversing vast ocean distances and reaching the remote destinations on the BlueCruise itinerary. The refit also incorporated or enhanced onboard amenities vital to the cruise’s objectives, such as a well-equipped gym from Technogym for the participants’ fitness plans, and wellness facilities such as the sauna, IHHT,  and red-light therapy. Modern satellite communications, including Starlink, ensure continuous connectivity for collaboration, research, and staying connected with the world.

On the 20th of March the yacht finally left the shipyard – delayed by 18 days, as the Owner remarked. We can only say: that’s almost on time, and something not many projects of this magnitude will ever see. Not only was PROMETEJ refitted and upgraded, also a new stability booklet was needed, and class and flag needed to agree to worldwide navigation. Last but not least, 50% of the crew had to be hired. On all those challenges Ocean Independence worked closely together with the Owner to fulfill all those tasks in record time.

Currently, Ocean Independence continues to support the BlueCruise round-the-world journey. This ongoing role demonstrates our comprehensive yacht management capabilities and commitment to providing seamless support for clients throughout any expedition, whether off the coast of Monaco, or a far more challenging expedition like this. Supporting a global voyage involves a multitude of logistical and operational aspects, from detailed itinerary planning and securing necessary permissions to ensuring the vessel’s safe passage across international waters. Our experienced team is adept at handling these complexities, allowing the BlueCruise participants to focus on their core objectives of discovery and research. This continued partnership underscores our dedication to sharing our passion for yachting, as well as our firm commitment to the success of this extraordinary undertaking.
