Acquired by Mystic Ocean in 2020, the Vasco da Gama is a boutique cruise ship that accommodates up to 1,000 passengers and 550 crew members, offering a personalized and intimate experience. Weighing 55,451 tons, the ship underwent significant modernization, including both aesthetic enhancements and advanced technical upgrades, ensuring compliance with the latest environmental standards. This major upgrade, which included the installation of Selective Catalytic Reactor (SCR) systems to meet Tier III emissions standards and a new sewage treatment plant, makes the vessel a model of sustainability in the shipping industry. Equipped with a wide range of amenities for global exploration, the Vasco da Gama was honored in April 2023 with the “Golden Sun” award as Ship of the Year by sonnenklar.TV, a leading maritime organization.
