Fresh from Bezos's wedding extravaganza, celebrities will spend a week cruising the seas on the magnificent 452-passenger vessel, which costs up to $78,377 (£58,120) for a seven-night trip.
Plenty of stars have been snapped aboard the luxury vessel including Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara, who appeared relaxed with a drink in hand at one of the ship's many parties.

While Tom Brady was snapped next to Vergara at what appears to be a late night dinner and drinks.
The Kardashians are also believed to have made an appearance just days after they were spotted at the billionaire's wedding just a few days ago.
Kendall Jenner posted a sunset picture on board, leading many to suggest sisters Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian and mum Kris Jenner probably also made the journey.
Guests were also treated to star performances from the likes of Ellie Goulding and Ricky Martin.
Meanwhile, retail mogul Martha Stewart reportedly served up a storm on board with her "Martha-tinis".
'Legendary service'
The Luminara Suite boasts "magnificent" ocean views with floor to ceiling windows, according to The Ritz-Carlton.

It has a private terrace decked out with a hot tub where the superyacht's wealthiest passengers can lounge in style.
The namesake room boasts a large living and dining area, as well as a king bed and double vanity bathroom.
It even has 24-hour in-suite dining, so passengers won't have to venture into one of the five fine dining restaurants or seven bars on board - if they don't feel like dressing up.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection currently operates three yachts: Evrima, lma and Luminara, which launched in 2020, 2024 and 2025 respectively.
It is the largest superyacht from the luxury hotel franchise, spread across 10 decks.
It has two swimming pools - an infinity pool on deck five and a main pool on the top deck.

"With Luminara, we've raised the bar once again, uniting legendary service, elevated design, and an extraordinary onboard experience to further define our distinct approach to ultra-luxury travel at sea," President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Ernesto Fara, said in a statement.
"This remarkable super-yacht opens the door to new destinations and deeper guest experiences, reinforcing our commitment to thoughtful exploration and continuous innovation across the fleet."
An increasing number of luxury hotel chains are taking to the high seas.
There are eight to 10 ships planned for the next five to 10 years for multiple Marriott brands, including the The Ritz-Carlton franchise.
The Four Seasons will also launch its first superyacht hotel in January 2026, where seven nights will cost your north of $25,000 (£18,500).

Stacey Solomon marks huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STACEY Solomon's new business venture is booming - adding to her whopping £7million fortune. The Loose Women panelist and mum-of-five announced a major new career move in 2023, and told fans: "I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life." Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Stacey Solomon has marked a huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune Credit: Instagram 5 The mum of five boosts her earnings through a variety of sources Credit: Instagram 5 Yet it is haircare brand REHAB that has accelerated her fortune over the past two years Credit: Instagram All-woman founded haircare brand REHAB captured Stacey's attention years ago - but she told how she had taken the surprise decision to become part of the team. The Sort Your Life Out anchor, 35, invested her own cash into small haircare brand REHAB, owning a third of the firm in doing so. Now sources have told MailOnline the all-female business has reached a six figure milestone which has seen them "making millions" in the sector. Stacey, along with business partners Anastasia and Vicky, is also seeing their popularity "expanding." REHAB has also been hailed the fastest-growing beauty brand on the FEBE 100 list for 2025, in yet another boost for the trio. The collection has now expanded into bodycare products as well as haircare as it expands its offering further. Its Instagram page now reads: "It's time to REHAB. Your hair and body." BUSINESS BABE Stacey first revealed her latest career project in a lengthy message on social media. At the time, she gushed to fans: "I can't put into words how incredible it feels to say that I am going to start a whole new chapter in my life championing incredible women in business. "I see so many talented people day in day out working so hard to achieve their dreams and it's not easy out there. Stacey Solomon hits back at cruel troll who branded her a 'horse mouth' "I can't wait to give my absolute all to Rehab and take it to the places it deserves to be." REHAB was founded by two female best friends who say they were "trying to keep up with multiple jobs, children, and their London based social lives". Describing themselves on REHAB's website, they said: "Busy women with a single mission - transform tired hair to its full healthy, glossy potential." Stacey presents BBC's Sort Your Life Out as well as being a panellist on Loose Women. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. CASHING IN Back in April, The Sun exclusively revealed the X Factor alum was raking in £57K a month. Her performing arts firm, Key Maps Entertainments, which funnels all of her earnings, has filed new accounts which lay bare just how rich Stacey really is. The figures mean that Stacey is taking home a tidy £8,270 a DAY. Stacey first set up the firm in 2012 in order to disclose all her financial earnings. In 2014, it was reported that she had banked a more modest £100,000 over the previous two years. The ITV and BBC darling managed to achieve the major figure largely thanks to her TV endeavours including her NTA-winning show Sort Your Life Out as well as her brand new reality show with her husband Joe Swash. But being on the small screen isn't the only way she's has topped up her bank balance. Stacey has helped to improve her massive fortune thanks to countless brand and endorsement deals. She has worked alongside Asda, Jet2, In The Style and Primark in order to keep her earnings rising year on year. 5 She also fronts award-winning TV show Sort Your Life Out Credit: BBC

World's richest tennis star owns private jet and even offered use of it to Wimbledon rivals
World's richest tennis star owns private jet and even offered use of it to Wimbledon rivals Jessica Pegula is the daughter of a billionaire businessman and is set to inherit a fortune, while already enjoying luxuries such as a private jet and a superyacht Wimbledon star Jessica Pegula is the heiress to a multi-billion pound fortune (Image: Getty Images ) While tennis players are no strangers to enjoying the finer things in life, Jessica Pegula's riches put her on an entirely different level to most. The American, who is still yet to win a Grand Slam after being knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round on Tuesday, boasts a personal net worth of almost £12million. But it is the fact she will one day inherit some of her father Terry Pegula's eye-watering £5.6billion fortune that has earned her the tag of 'world's richest tennis player'. Terry's ranking as the 418th wealthiest person by Forbes comes from his ventures in the oil and gas industry, while the billionaire magnate also owns sporting giants Buffalo Bills (NFL) and Buffalo Sabres (NHL). A £58m superyacht and a private jet are among the family's lavish luxuries, which Pegula also uses. However, the world No. 3 tennis star doesn't keep those luxuries solely to herself, as shown by her incredibly selfless gesture to let her fellow finalists use her jet at Austin's ATX Open in March. There, the 31-year-old competed in the women's singles final on the Sunday, beating fellow American McCartney Kessler 7-5 6-2. Article continues below The pair, along with doubles finalists Zhang Shuai, Yue Yuan and Anna Blinkova faced a gruelling 1,263 round trip to get to their next tournament in Indian Wells, California. That would have involved a late-night transfer in Los Angeles or making long trips to airports in Dallas and Houston, which would have hampered their preparation for Wednesday's tournament start. Pegula stuck around in Austin for the conclusion of the doubles final, where Yue and Blinkova beat Kessler and Shuai 3-6 6-1 10-4, to fly all of the players straight from Texas to California, so that they could all make it on time. China's Zhang immediately took to Instagram to voice her appreciation for the gesture, posting a snap of the private jet and writing: "She [Pegula] could have left right after her singles final, but she is such a selfless and generous girl. "This message is not to show I took the jet, [I] just wanted to appreciate and transfer the love,' to which Pegula replied: 'You're too cute.' Content cannot be displayed without consent Jessica Pegula has suffered an early exit at Wimbledon (Image: Getty ) Russian Blinkova and China's Yue shared Zhang's story on Instagram and also thanked Pegula, with the former writing: 'Thank you Jessie for your kindness and generosity.' Unfortunately, all five of the tennis stars, including Pegula, suffered first round singles exits at Wimbledon this week. Pegula unexpectedly crashed out in the opening round against world No. 116 Elisabetta Cocciaretto, becoming the highest-ranked player to exit the tournament. Article continues below The No. 3 seed lost 6-2 6-3 in just 58 minutes, marking her only first round exit since the 2020 French Open. Pegula had been one of the favourites for the title and is a former quarter-finalist in SW19 but appeared to struggle with a knee injury, which was taped up.
