Indeed. Good to see that 'reasonable' ships are built too these days and not only intimidating behemoths.

She looks smart and state of the art. Fincantiere is able to build great ships. Like here yacht like lines. Topper.

Greetings Ben.

Well since Fincanteri entered the yacht building business in association with Benetti yachts, they have had some interesting yacht designs. Currently there is a rather large yacht in build that is 134-meters. I think this vessel is 142-meters, so you see.

But yes Le Boreal looks very nice! Very reminiscent of Le Levant but seems to have a few cues from the new seabourn vessels.

Very attractive. The long forecastle is stunning and the grey hull is a nice touch.

The tacky arches. I can not really say that I 'love' them. Nevertheless, she is still a nice looking ship. Certainly a lot better than the ugly and unbalanced exterior of the new Seabourn ships.

I think she looks great. I actually like the arches. They give the ship some curves.

The arches are perhaps a bit too much but all in all I think she looks magnificent and from the renderings I've seen, her interiors should be très chic as well.
