Legend has it that the Yalta Treaty was drawn up here during the Delphine’s stint in the U.S. Navy. If only these walls could talk... with the likes of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Molatov and Winston Churchill who once enjoyed the hospitality of the Delphine.
Launched in 1921 at the Great Lakes Engineering Works in Michigan, S.S. Delphine, was at 257.8ft and 1,342 tons, the largest yacht built in the United States that is still in existence today. Re-christened in September of 2003, by H.S.H Princess Stephanie of Monaco, S.S. Delphine is one of the most unique and exceptional vessels for charter in the Mediterranean fleet. In 2004 she received the annual showboats award for best refit.
This is a beautiful steamship... There are just too many photos to choose from so please check out her first online brochure to get a quick overview of this yacht, and then look at the second brochure for more information (see links at end of post). Besides the superb staterooms, there is a swimming pool, fresh or saltwater Jacuzzi, professional hair dressing salon, smoking lounge, music room, bars, sauna, steam room, fully-equipped gym, and more!
S.S. DELPHINE has accommodations for up to 26 guests sleeping in 12 cabins, can cruise with up to 30 passengers and by special request, during the day with up to 160 passengers within 5 miles from the shore. She is also available for static charters for up to 250 passengers.
