THE ORIENT EXPRESS OF THE SEAS

The Kalizma, built in 1906 is today the world’s oldest yacht with the world’s youngest heart. A yacht that has survived world wars and plagues; marriages and break ups; owners in distress and owners in love. A yacht that has sailed frontiers that are unimaginable and been the toast of commoners and royals alike.

On the decks of this yacht, Richard Burton wooed the glamorous and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor.  They named the yacht after their three daughters Kate, Liza and Maria.

I remember my father and I hopping on board the Kalizma when she was moored in Dubai and my father told me this was a Yacht to treasure. He quite simply called it the Orient Express of the seas.

For me, the Kalizma is more than a luxury yacht. It is a tale steeped in history; a tale that never tires of being told; and a tale that has had many interesting twist to it. Which is why when we decided to refurbish the Kalizma, my intent was in clear. Nothing should alter the soul of the Kalizma.

On board you will be treated like the Kalizma has treated guests for over a century: with care; with affection and most importantly; with an attentiveness that is so hard to find in these hurried times. As you wander on board, relive the joys and passions of those who sailed on it.

Kalizma, a timeless romance.
