Every summer, the children of the world’s wealthiest families are invited aboard The Aurora, a legendary superyacht that spends a month sailing across the Mediterranean. The Aurora isn’t just a yacht—it’s a floating kingdom. Stretching over 180 meters, it features luxury suites, private balconies, infinity pools, a beach club, cinema, ballroom, spa, tennis court, helicopter pad, designer boutiques, and exclusive lounges.

Despite his playboy image, he is fiercely loyal to the few people he truly trusts. . . . His closest friends include Roman De Luca, heir to a luxury fashion empire and the group’s charming comedian; Matteo Moretti, successor to an Italian shipping dynasty and the responsible one of the group; Xavier Beaumont, a reckless French aristocrat who lives for excitement; and Theo Laurent, the quiet and observant heir to a luxury hotel empire. . .
