Broker Reviews

Onboard visit

Her main saloon feels less like a room and more like a grand hall — massive, bright, and glamorous, with unusually high ceilings and spacious cabins throughout. An unusual touch: the master suite sits on the lower deck, freeing up space for that huge saloon above. Purposely over-the-top, she carries two jacuzzis and an 8-metre pool on the foredeck, giving her the feel of a true floating resort.
