Ocean of Influence: Inside the Celebrity Boat Trip That Was All Over Your Feeds
On the eve of historic legislation that will shower more money on the rich and slash health care for the poor, I find myself on the island of Malta, wandering the ancient walled city of Medina, where the Romans ruled for 600 years before their empire collapsed in a heap of decadence and fire.
在历史性立法即将向富人提供更多资金并削减穷人医疗保健的前夕，我发现自己身在马耳他岛，在古老的城墙城市麦地那漫步，罗马人在那里统治了 600 年，直到他们的帝国在废墟和火灾中崩溃。
On the brink of history, I’m sweating out last night’s tequila in a blazing Mediterranean sun, the last traces of a psychedelic compound ebbing in my brain, and wondering how the hell I got here.
在历史的边缘，我在地中海的炽热阳光下喝掉了昨晚的龙舌兰酒，一种迷幻化合物的最后痕迹在我的大脑中消退，并想知道我到底是怎么来到这里的。
I pull up photos from my phone and open a random video: Kate Hudson pole dancing to thumping DJ music as Leonardo DiCaprio bobs to flashing purple lights with his 27-year-old girlfriend, Vogue cover model Vittoria Ceretti .
我从手机中调出照片，随机打开一段视频：凯特·哈德森 (Kate Hudson) 伴着强劲的 DJ 音乐跳钢管舞，莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥 (Leonardo DiCaprio) 与他 27 岁的女友、《Vogue》封面模特维多利亚·塞雷蒂 (Vittoria Ceretti) 一起在闪烁的紫色灯光下摇摆。
I’d just spent the last 48 hours aboard a 790-foot boat with a head-spinning collection of Hollywood actors, models, pop stars, influencers, media moguls, and billionaire entrepreneurs.
我刚刚在一艘 790 英尺长的船上度过了最后 48 小时，船上有令人头晕的好莱坞演员、模特、流行歌星、影响者、媒体大亨和亿万富翁企业家。
Our host was billionaire Mark Scheinberg, an Israeli-Canadian who made his fortune building the online poker company PokerStars , which he sold for $4.9 billion.
我们的主人是亿万富翁 Mark Scheinberg，他是一位以色列裔加拿大人，通过创办在线扑克公司 PokerStars 发家致富，并以 49 亿美元的价格出售了该公司。
Now, he’s a luxury real estate investor haloed in VIPs.
现在，他是一位享有贵宾光环的豪华房地产投资者。
Ricky Martin and Naomi Campbell Sansho Scott/BFA.com/Shutterstock Scheinberg’s ambition for the trip was simple: to amplify the creamily christened Luminara , the third in a line of luxury ships called The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
Ricky Martin 和 Naomi Campbell Sansho Scott/BFA.com/Shutterstock Scheinberg 这次旅行的目标很简单：扩大奶油色命名的 Luminara 号，这是丽思卡尔顿游艇系列豪华游轮中的第三艘。
This partnership with the hotel chain and Oaktree Capital Management aims to make the super-rich’s yen for superyachting accessible to the merely rich.
与连锁酒店和橡树资本管理公司的合作旨在让超级富豪对超级游艇的兴趣也惠及普通富人。
A bunch of celebrities and influencers would serve as the jewelry glittering like a necklace on Scheinberg’s investment.
一群名人和有影响力的人将成为沙恩伯格投资上像项链一样闪闪发光的珠宝。
Perhaps you’ve seen them glittering on your social media feeds, #ritzcarltonyachtcollection.
也许您已经在社交媒体#ritzcarltonyachtcollection 上看到它们闪闪发光。
For reasons that will remain a mystery to me, Vanity Fair was the only publication aboard, given unfettered access with very little by way of guidance.
出于对我来说仍然是个谜的原因，《名利场》是船上唯一的出版物，可以不受限制地访问，几乎没有任何指导。
The publicist’s only stipulation—more like a request—is that Scheinberg would “NOT like to be the focus of any press story.”
公关人员唯一的规定（更像是请求）是沙因伯格“不希望成为任何新闻报道的焦点”。
And so on a hot afternoon, north of Rome, I boarded this svelte, shark-nosed vessel, a petite cruise ship with over 200 staterooms , 5 restaurants, 7 bars, a full-service spa and gym, a discrete shopping mall, and, according to my tour guide, 731 pieces of art curated by a team with offices in Fort Lauderdale and Malta.
于是在罗马北部一个炎热的下午，我登上了这艘纤细的鲨鱼头游轮，这艘小型游轮拥有 200 多间客舱、5 家餐厅、7 家酒吧、提供全方位服务的水疗中心和健身房、一家独立的购物中心，据我的导游介绍，还有由在劳德代尔堡和马耳他设有办事处的团队策划的 731 件艺术品。
The guest list was, shall we say, insane: Dakota Johnson, Kendall Jenner, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, Pharrell Williams, Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Ricky Martin, Jaden Smith, Zoey Deutch, Tobey Maguire, Alicia Silverstone, Janelle Monáe, and Sofia Vergara.
可以说，嘉宾名单是疯狂的：达科塔·约翰逊、肯德尔·詹纳、汤姆·布雷迪、奥兰多·布鲁姆、法瑞尔·威廉姆斯、玛莎·斯图尔特、娜奥米·坎贝尔、帕特里克·施瓦辛格、瑞奇·马丁、贾登·史密斯、佐伊·达奇、托比·马奎尔、艾丽西亚·席尔维斯通、加奈儿·梦奈和索菲亚·维加拉。
To name a few.
仅举几例。
In all, one hundred guests and their entourages, all expenses covered by Scheinberg, including endless food and drink, massages and facials, sound bath healings and yoga classes, Augustinus Bader face creams in every suite, each with a private veranda—a boondoggle to beat all boondoggles.
总共有一百位客人及其随行人员，所有费用均由 Scheinberg 承担，包括无尽的食物和饮料、按摩和面部护理、声浴治疗和瑜伽课程，每间套房均配有 Augustinus Bader 面霜，每间套房均设有私人阳台——这简直是无稽之谈。
There are three staffers for every guest, “suite ambassadors” and “suite attendants,” who hover outside the cabin doors, eager to iron and rearrange the toiletries just so.
每位客人都有三名工作人员，即“套房大使”和“套房服务员”，他们在舱门外徘徊，热切地熨烫和重新整理洗漱用品。
The cost of influence—including first-class flights and limousine services to and from the ship and suites and spas and fuel and booze and chefs and staff and flower arrangements, plus a film crew and concert production company—will surely run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more.
影响力的成本——包括往返船舶的头等舱航班和豪华轿车服务、套房、水疗中心、燃料、酒水、厨师、员工和插花，加上电影摄制组和音乐会制作公司——肯定会达到数十万美元，甚至更多。
The boat is scheduled to embark from the port city of Civitavecchia at 4 p.m., but it’s already running an hour and a half late.
该船原定于下午 4 点从港口城市奇维塔韦基亚出发，但已经晚点了一个半小时。
The limos and SUVs have deposited the guests, ushered aboard by an attendant holding an umbrella over everyone’s heads for shade.
豪华轿车和SUV已经把客人们送上车，服务员在每个人的头上撑着一把雨伞以遮阳。
I’m idling on the front deck with Naomi Campbell and her entourage after enjoying an iced latte with Martha Stewart.
与玛莎·斯图尔特 (Martha Stewart) 享用完冰拿铁后，我与娜奥米·坎贝尔 (Naomi Campbell) 和她的随行人员在前甲板上闲逛。

Earlier, I introduced myself to Patrick Schwarzenegger , who stars on the latest season of White Lotus .
早些时候，我向帕特里克·施瓦辛格介绍了自己，他是最新一季《白莲花》的主演。

“我们已经成为朋友有一段时间了，他和他的前任刚刚分手，”她说道，驳斥了猜测，但没有点名凯蒂·佩里。
Sarah Jane defends Sanchéz-Bezos, whose wedding ceremony in Venice was fodder for populist outrage, and which Sarah Jane insists was just a normal, plain-Jane affair, nothing fancy.

然后埃莉·古尔丁 (Ellie Goulding) 到来，用一两首歌缓解气氛。

Zoey Deutch Sansho Scott/BFA.com/Shutterstock 第二天早上，吃早餐时，我遇到了 Rutger，他是定制超级游艇公司 Amels 的销售经理。
He tells me the idea for the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection originated with a guy named Douglas Prothero , who pitched the luxury hotel chain on a yacht that would motor high-end clientele around the high seas.
他告诉我，丽思卡尔顿游艇系列的创意源自一位名叫道格拉斯·普罗瑟罗 (Douglas Prothero) 的人，他将这家豪华连锁酒店建在一艘游艇上，载着高端客户环游公海。

四季酒店已经率先推出了私人飞机，可以将富有的客户运送到四季酒店的不同地点，如果你愿意的话，可以从白莲花到白莲花。
The 2020 pandemic motivated a lot of wealthy people to sequester themselves on boats, thus exposing a whole generation to the joys of isolated pleasure domes .

The appeal was obvious: “Say, you want to go to Greece tomorrow,” says Rutger.

“You go to Greece.” With crypto and AI cash piling up in recent years, the boats had to be bigger.

“That’s a very positive effect,” Rutger says.
“这是一个非常积极的影响，”罗格说。

Sitting on the starboard deck, sipping coffee next to the open sea, nobody’s complaining.

On a deck above, I spy Martha Stewart posing for a social media post in a brightly colored SKIMS kaftan.
在上面的甲板上，我看到玛莎·斯图尔特 (Martha Stewart) 穿着色彩鲜艳的 SKIMS 长袍在社交媒体上发帖。
Stewart has arrived with an entourage consisting of her longtime publicist, Susan Magrino, her makeup artist, and her agent.
斯图尔特带着她的长期公关苏珊·马格里诺、她的化妆师和经纪人组成的随行人员抵达。
She invites me to lunch at the Beach House, where, while nibbling on plates of Greek delicacies, she tells me a yachting yarn.
她邀请我去海滨别墅吃午餐，一边品尝希腊美食，一边给我讲了一段关于游艇的故事。
It was New Year’s Eve 2003, and she was yachting with her then boyfriend Charles Simonyi, aboard the 232-foot Skat, snugged into a quiet harbor in Malta, en route to the Greek islands.
那是 2003 年的新年前夜，她和当时的男友查尔斯·西蒙尼 (Charles Simonyi) 乘坐 232 英尺长的 Skat 游艇，驶进马耳他一个安静的港口，前往希腊群岛。
Then, out of the blue, a Naval warship, the USS Donald Cook, pulled in.
然后，一艘海军军舰唐纳德·库克号突然驶入。
“They had lost an engine on their way from America to bomb Iraq,” she recounts, “and they were hiding in this little harbor with 26 nuclear warheads onboard in this ship.

I did not feel very good about that, but I felt very bad for all the sailors.

I handwrote them a note on the very fancy boat stationery, inviting them to come for caviar and champagne and celebrate New Year’s Eve.
我在非常精美的船上信纸上给他们写了一张便条，邀请他们来吃鱼子酱和香槟，庆祝除夕夜。
And so we sent it over by tender to their boat.” (Editor’s note: While the Cook is capable of carrying nuclear warheads, it was carrying Tomahawk cruise missiles at that time.)
所以我们用补给船把它送到了他们的船上。” （编者注：虽然库克号能够携带核弹头，但当时它携带的是战斧巡航导弹。）
The commanding officer and his men motored over in their dress whites and took pictures with Stewart to send home to their wives, as they enjoyed caviar with the greatest hostess in American history.
指挥官和他的部下穿着白色礼服驱车过来，与斯图尔特合影留念并发送给他们的妻子，同时与美国历史上最伟大的女主人一起享用鱼子酱。
They invited Stewart to tour the battleship, where she saw decks of young “techies” at computer screens.
他们邀请斯图尔特参观这艘战舰，她在电脑屏幕上看到了甲板上的年轻“技术人员”。
A couple of months later, the Cook was the first to launch missiles into Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
几个月后，库克成为第一个向伊拉克发射导弹的国家，作为“伊拉克自由行动”的一部分。
“Right at the dawn of devastation,” Stewart marvels.
“就在灾难即将来临之际，”斯图尔特惊叹道。
“I hate stuff like that.”

“我的意思是，极端的财富现在几乎很常见，”她说道，看上去比 84 岁的她年轻了十岁。
“We know everybody that’s really rich.
“我们认识每个真正富有的人。
We know them all.
我们都认识他们。
I mean, it started in the 1990s.

“Meanwhile people can’t afford food or rent,” writes @sia_next_tuesday.

Her agent leans over and whispers to me, “There’s not a better Instagram follow than @marthastewart48.”
她的经纪人倾身对我低声说道：“没有比 @marthastewart48 更好的 Instagram 关注了。”
I wonder if the populist comments bother her, what with Zohran Mamdani nominated for mayor in New York City and Donald Trump pushing all the poker chips to the billionaire class.
我想知道民粹主义言论是否让她感到困扰，佐兰·马姆达尼被提名为纽约市市长，唐纳德·特朗普将所有扑克筹码推向亿万富翁阶层。
