97m Lürssen superyacht Carinthia VII announces world charter tour

The 97.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Carinthia VII will embark on an extensive world charter tour beginning in spring 2026. She is available to charter along the way with Fraser.

The 17-month journey was officially unveiled at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show and will take in some of the most remote cruising grounds on the planet.

Carinthia VII  will sail from the South of France, visiting Latin America, the South Pacific, South-East Asia and the Arctic before returning to Europe in October 2027. Charter guests will have the opportunity to explore destinations including French Polynesia, Fiji, Costa Rica and the Northwest Passage.

Delivered in 2002, Carinthia VII underwent an extensive refit in 2023 and entered the charter market for the first time shortly after. Most recently, in 2025, the yacht for charter underwent a fresh phase of upgrades with a comprehensive bridge refit carried out at IGY Sète Marina in France.

Designed by Tim Heywood and built by Lürssen, she remains one of the world’s most recognisable superyachts. Spanning six decks, Carinthia VII’s onboard spaces are enormous - 3,643GT to be exact, with a 124 square-metre sundeck, a 90 square-metre gym and a huge spa. 

She also has a long list of excellent charter credentials, including bullet-proof glass, a beauty salon and a touch-and-go helipad. All guest areas were revamped during the refit, yet a great deal of care was taken to preserve her classic charm.

Accommodation on board is available for 12 guests, who can choose from eight generous cabins, including six doubles and two twins, while further accommodation hosts five supernumeraries. The owner’s cabin is located forward and offers spectacular 180-degree views, while the living room, connected to the stateroom, provides plenty of space for relaxation and is surrounded by a fabulous art collection.

Highlights from the tour include Latin America, where Carinthia VII will cruise Panama’s San Blas Islands, Costa Rica’s national parks, the Galápagos and the Sea of Cortez. Fiji & Solomon Islands are also on the itinerary, including cultural encounters in Fiji and diving among World War II wrecks in the Solomons.

Diving in coral gardens and exploring whale-filled lagoons in French Polynesia is also on the itinerary, as well as further world-class diving in South-East Asia. For those seeing cooler climbs, Carinthia VII will also be embarking on an expedition through the Northwest Passage, one of the world’s most challenging sea routes.

Commencing in spring 2026, Carinthia VII is available for charter on her world tour with Fraser for a weekly rate from €1,500,000.
