57M Feadship Charter Yacht SOLACE Launches Ahead Of Forthcoming Circumnavigation

Originally launched in 2005, the Feadship charter yacht has previously been known as several other names, including TWIZZLE, ISSANA, and MARY A, but now sailing the world as SOLACE she showcases a brand new look that includes a two-meter extension to the stern. 

Also sporting a reimagined beach club with a sauna, updates completed during the refit include an exterior repaint, updates to engineering, a new cabin on the bridge deck, and refreshed interiors to guest areas, penned by Vickers Studio. 

Designed for luxurious ocean living, superyacht SOLACE is one of the most impressive vessels on the charter market

Unfolding over three years with six segments, the three-year circumnavigation of charter yacht SOLACE features a broad range of terrains and territories, inviting those onboard to experience some of the most engaging yacht charter destinations on the planet. 

From glistening glaciers of Antarctica yacht charters to endless stretches of idyllic coastlines and pristine beaches of charter routes in French Polynesia, the itineraries appeal to a broad range of charter guests, from those who thrive with fast-paced sports to others who enjoy the serenity of pure relaxation on remote islands.

The journey begins in the heart of the Caribbean, where the Caribbean’s vibrant ecosystems and temperate climate set the tone for an expedition rooted in marine discovery and cultural charm. This chapter offers the iconic EYOS experience of swimming with sperm whales off Dominica, where clear deep-water shelves and a resident pod population provide unmatched visibility and frequent wildlife interaction.

Caribbean yacht charter guests can also encounter humpbacks migrating around the Lesser Antilles, explore colonial-era towns from Grenada to the charter routes of St. Kitts and Nevis, and enjoy beach barbecues, rainforest hikes, and optional volcano tours. The itinerary combines scientific insights with immersive experiences and serves as a thoughtfully paced introduction to charter yacht SOLACE's small-group, exploratory approach.

The next segment continues the circumnavigation with a northernmost chapter through Greenland charter routes, Iceland, Scotland, and the beautiful scenes of Norway yacht charters. Expect Zodiac landings amid iceberg-filled fjords, guided explorations of Inuit communities, and daily lectures on polar geology and climate science.

This segment is designed for slow, careful progression, prioritising wildlife sightings, glacier calving events, and unique Arctic activity (such as sea kayaking and polar plunges) over distance. It’s an expedition that merges natural science with expeditionary travel.

The mid-circumnavigation leg centres on the Indo-Pacific’s outstanding marine diversity. Guests immerse themselves in the water-rich realms of Indonesia yacht charters, explore the untouched atolls of Palau, and encounter traditional island cultures throughout the Philippines.

Diving opportunities abound, from lagoon reefs and pelagic zones to historical wrecks, while island-hopping visits offer guests a chance to engage with local communities and conservation projects. Field scientists and marine biologists regularly come aboard to share knowledge, making this a signature leg for enthusiasts of coral ecology, reef restoration, and island biodiversity.

This leg of SOLACE's circumnavigation connects Japan’s dynamic coastline with the remote islands of French Polynesia yacht charter routes, offering a broad contrast between cultural immersion and marine exploration. Starting in southern Japan, guests experience Okinawa’s subtropical reefs, volcanic coastlines, and traditional fishing communities before heading into the South Pacific to explore Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and French Polynesia.

The itinerary balances rich cultural engagement, from local village visits and heritage tours to traditional arts and ceremonies, with exceptional opportunities for diving, snorkelling, and marine research across some of the most biodiverse waters on the planet. Expert guides and field specialists provide in-depth context throughout, linking the human and natural stories that define this remarkable region.

This high-latitude expedition is designed for travellers curious about polar ecosystems, glacial dynamics, and towering mountain ranges. The Antarctica yacht charter portion revolves around Zodiac excursions to colonies of penguins, whale-watching opportunities, and landings near shelves of floating ice.

After rounding Cape Horn, the itinerary enters Patagonia, where charter guests can explore icefields, fjords, and remote coastal villages. Kayaking, alpine treks, and wildlife photography expeditions are paired with onboard lectures from polar experts, making this one of the most immersive yacht itineraries available.

The final chapter of the SOLACE Odyssey traces the dramatic Pacific coastline from Baja California to Alaska, showcasing one of the world’s most biologically rich marine corridors. Beginning in the warm waters of Baja, North America yacht charter guests can encounter migrating gray whales, playful sea lions, and vast schools of manta rays before the yacht heads north through the rainforested fjords of British Columbia, where towering evergreens, secluded anchorages, and indigenous coastal art define the landscape.

The journey culminates in the charter routes of Alaska, with opportunities to witness calving glaciers, grizzly bears foraging along salmon rivers, and humpback whales feeding beneath snow-capped peaks. Educational briefings, Zodiac excursions, and expert-led wildlife interpretation make this a fitting conclusion to the global voyage, blending vibrant marine life, dramatic scenery, and cultural depth across three extraordinary coastal regions.
