YACHT FOCUS<br />
PR<strong>IN</strong>CESS MA<br />
AND MOON GODDESS<br />
PR<strong>IN</strong>CESS MARIANA is more like a wish list than practically any other yacht yet built.<br />
But the key factor is not the long list of entertainment features but how brilliantly they<br />
have been accomplished.<br />
For example, many big yachts have graduated from Jacuzzi to oversize Jacuzzi<br />
to swimming pool. Princess Mariana dispenses with half measures and goes for a<br />
12 metre underlit indoor pool. And this is the spirit that defined the yacht’s specification.<br />
Why bother with just an idea when you can have something really spectacular?<br />
Designed by Espen Oeino with an interior by François Zuretti, Princess Mariana has<br />
a dedicated area for just about everything within her six decks and 79 metres (258’).<br />
Where to start? 12 guests sleep aboard but 50 can be catered for during the<br />
day. To enter the yacht, guests walk past a double deck-height waterfall. In the formal<br />
cinema as well as throughout the yacht, guests can choose from the film library held<br />
on five one-terrabyte entertainment systems. A nightclub has three cinema screens<br />
and a spa pool. The beach club (with that swimming pool) is created by a teak<br />
platform folding down from practically the entire length of starboard hull. A spot of<br />
exercise? Try the golf driving range. Need pampering? Visit the spa beauty salon.<br />
We haven’t yet mentioned the dining options. (Which deck, in or outdoors, are<br />
the principal questions.) Saloons with huge sofas and armchairs are found on every<br />
level and, as far as we are aware, this is the first yacht that actually has an entire<br />
deck called the Party Deck.
