The business of designer cruises
The Dior yacht will be moored at Port Henri IV near Île Saint-Louis from July 3 to 14. The starting date coincides with the start of haute couture fashion week in Paris.
Last year, Dior launched its first-ever spa cruise on the Seine in Paris. According to Harper’s Bazaar, the idea of a floating spa was inspired by the historic bains de la samaritaine, floating baths from the 19th century. These were situated alongside the Pont-Neuf on the banks of the Seine and are believed to be the early originators of the spa experience.
