Plans have been revealed for the construction of the world's biggest yacht, which will have 39 apartments across six floors priced from $11 million (€9.2 million).
Somnio has been described as the world's first 'Yacht Liner', it will be 222 metres long and will have a gross tonnage of 33,500, coming in at a total cost of $600 million (€504 million).
The luxury apartments will come equipped with their own gym and buyers will be selected by invitation only.
Other perks include a shared wine seller and tasting room, on-board restaurants and bars, and a beach club where water sports will be available.
The project is being overseen by Somnio Lead, Captain Erik Bredhe, previously Master of The World, to date the only residential vessel at sea.
'Lifestyle at sea'
Announcing the launch of Somnio, Captain Erik Bredhe said: “Somnio will be the only residential superyacht in the world and has been designed to exacting standards that are commensurate with a life of opportunity. Owners will share a truly unique lifestyle at sea, with a hand-picked crew and a never-ending global itinerary of carefully selected destinations and experiences befitting a yacht of this nature.”
Somnio is scheduled to launch in 2024.
It promises “slow-paced travel” that “will explore the four corners of the globe, from the Mediterranean, a week in New York, sailing the South Pacific to undertaking expeditions in Antarctica. Owners will access unimaginable experiences whilst enjoying the true intimacy of private yacht ownership with added ability to share a unique life with like-minded owners and friends with whom to explore the world”.
