La Datcha Transforms Exploration into Luxury

Luxury travel is undergoing a quiet transformation. For today’s most discerning travellers, indulgence is no longer about excess; it is about access.

Nowhere is this more evident than aboard La Datcha, the 77-metre expedition yacht built by Damen Yachting.

Purpose-built for exploration yet wrapped in the trappings of refined living, La Datcha takes her guests far beyond the ordinary, to the ends of the Earth and back again in comfort few could imagine.

With a Polar Code-compliant, ice-classed hull and a 40-day autonomous range, La Datcha is capable of reaching the planet’s most remote regions.

From the blue ice of Antarctica to the fiery landscapes of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, she is designed to go where conventional yachts cannot without compromising an ounce of luxury.

On board, the experience is seamless. Six beautifully appointed suites, including two master and two VIP cabins, accommodate up to 12 guests in serene sophistication.

The interiors, designed by Vasiliy Shprits, are understated yet opulent, with bespoke detailing throughout.

A full wellness centre with sauna, hammam, and treatment room complements a panoramic gym and expertly curated cuisine served with world-class wines.

Adventure, however, lies at the heart of La Datcha’s mission. Two helicopters enable heli-skiing on untouched slopes, while a three-seat submersible offers rare access to uncharted marine environments.

Jet skis, snow scooters, dive gear and tenders complete the toolkit for those seeking extraordinary moments in nature’s most dramatic theatres.

La Datcha invites a new kind of exploration, not defined by hardship, but by rare privilege.

It is a vessel for those who do not simply want to see the world, but to experience it on their terms, far from crowds and convention.
