FALL 2023
"That is that damned Blue Train," said Lenox. Trains are relentless things, aren't they, Monsieur Poirot? People are murdered and die, but they go on just the same. I'm talking nonsense, but you know what I mean.
AGATHA CHRISTIE
The Mystery of the Blue Train
A GAME BEYOND THE IMAGINATION
Imagine you could open one of Agatha Christie's novels and, all of a sudden, find yourself into the book, cruising in the Mediterranean on board a magnificent steamship built in 1921 and, like Hercule Poirot, solve a complex mystery.
This brand-new fully immersive and luxurious Murder Mystery set in the 1920s goes way beyond the imagination. It is a tour de force lasting several days where nothing ever is what it seems.
An adventure like no other to travel back in time to the roaring twenties to become the hero of your own adventure by solving a complex mystery and uncovering the murderer before he could strike again to cover his tracks.
Embark on a four-day cruise on the Mediterranean onboard one of the most magnificent 1920 vessels still existing for the adventure of a lifetime where the boundaries between fiction and reality will be totally blurred. An adventure where you will find yourself immersed in the roaring twenties trying to prevent a crime from happening.
Written by an award-winning author and inspired by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, this new striking murder mystery will go beyond what you've ever imagined. Indeed, you will never really know when the mystery starts, who is real, or how each of your fellow travellers is involved. All you'll know is time is of the essence because anyone on board could be the next victim or ... the murderer(s).
Your adventure will begin months before our cruise starts when you will receive your invitation with the date and place of departure. Then, after an incredible 4-day-long Costumes Experience in Paris to create your whole 1920s wardrobe for the cruise, your adventure will start a few months later, in September or October 2023... or is it 1923?
Travel back in time a hundred years back to enjoy an extraordinary private visit to one of Italy's most famous ancient archaeological sites, taste the 1920s-inspired creations of 3 different famous 3 Michelin-starred chefs, all paired with vintage wines and luxury champagnes, dance during a charleston party on board the steamship and so much more. But be aware that this idyllic and lavish cruise hides many untold secrets and covert riddles as nothing is what it seems.

WHEN FICTION MERGE WITH REALITY
( A Fully Immersive Mystery )
Ariodante’s founder and Colombian composer and conductor Ricardo Araujo has spent his life in the world of art and music. He brings with him the specialist contacts and knowledge that allows Ariodante to access the people, places and experiences that make each trip so special.
Encouraged by his artistic mother, Ricardo became proficient in music at an early age and debuted as a pianist with the Brussels’ Royal Conservatoire Orchestra at just 12 years old. Aged 17, he took on the role of 2nd musical director of the Colombian National Symphony Orchestra and since then, has conducted some of the best orchestras such as the Paris Opera House Orchestra.
Ricardo has also been involved in diplomatic, cultural and humanitarian projects working among others for Jacques Chirac and then leading several art projects with museums and also institutions such as UNICEF and the Rotary Club.
A GASTRONOMIC FEAST
( 3 Michelin Starred Dining )
We believe in travelling responsibly. Ariodante has, from the outset, actively supported the arts and our common cultural and natural heritage.
With mass travel increasing around our delicate world, putting in jeopardy some of our dearest treasures, and luxury travel focusing on comfort without regard for the environment, Ariodante has taken a different path –certainly more challenging - but one that makes a real difference.
From our active support for cultural, artistic and conservation projects, to our unwavering commitment.
