The hull of the Super Jumbo St. Raphael parts the Mediterranean with a quiet confidence as Paphos’ limestone coastline slides past—cliffs, old quarries and low scrub catching the late sun. Below, a nearly 20 m² glass viewing area frames the green-blue world where fish wheel around rocky reefs and the Vera K. wreck rests like a scarred curiosity on the seabed.
