Galapagos The Ship GraceM/Y Grace's stellar past includes ownership by millionaire tycoons like Sir George Tilley and Aristotle Onassis, a brief stint in the British navy and the vacation home of guests recognized worldwide, including Winston Churchill. View a video of the Grace, then named "Deo Juvante II", as the yacht set off with Prince Rainier to meet Grace Kelly aboard the USS Constitution on her way to Monaco for the wedding. This Camper & Nicholson yacht has traversed the waters of this world under many names, (previously named Zein) but has been rechristened with a name that takes her back into her history; to the very best of her times. Named after her late owner, Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco, the name is a representation of her elegance, beauty and prestige. Grace is the ideal yacht for the traveler who seeks a true explorer experience, complemented with excellent service, superb accommodations and excellent dining.
