World’s largest yacht to host 39 luxury onboard homes

The world’s largest yacht Somnio will be launched in 2024, with a length of 222 metres (728 feet) and will host 39 luxury apartments starting at €9.5 million (c. $11.2 million). A new category has been coined for the vessel, known as a ‘yacht liner’.

The €500 million (c. $600 million) luxury yacht will also host a 10,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room, a choice of restaurants and bars, and an onboard beach club featuring water sports facilities. The fully customisable apartments will be spread over six decks, and will potentially feature a personal kitchen, gym, a library, dining areas and distinct dressing areas.

A statement for the unveiling of Somnio said, “Somnio is the world's first "yacht liner", conceived to provide all the benefits of superyacht ownership and finished to the highest possible standards, with onboard amenities reflecting the service and offering only found in the world's finest hotels. World-class medical care will also be available onboard, providing apartment owners with the highest level of safety away from pandemics and other global risks.”

Somnio is currently being built by Vard in Norway, which is part of the Italian shipbuilding firm Fincantieri. Powered by the latest clean engine technology, the yacht will also feature advanced on-board equipment to help scientists and marine experts conduct research into ocean environments, with the aim of offering solutions to key environmental issues.

The identity of the owners will remain a tightly guarded secret, with a chance to buy one of the luxury apartments coming by invitation or referral only. The chosen owners will have access to both private and shared amenities, designed by London-based Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden.
