Really beautiful. That massive yacht is only 50' shorter than one of Cunard's Saxonia Class liners of the 1950s.

But she's 54 feet longer then the HAL sisters Ryndam/Maasdam '51/'52.

She's a beauty I guess she's in the 15/20.000 grt range?

You are probably very close. She does'nt have the build of superstructure of a passenger ship-just that gorgeous swept back look
Now if a cruise ship could have that stunning forecastle!

I'm not impressed! An 'Oasis of the Seas' lifeboat can hold more passengers!

This ship is so ugly!

If im going to pay 300 million dollars for a Yacht I want it to be attractive. This is definitely not an attractive Yacht! Does anyone have interior PICS?

Over and Out,
