The first official interior renderings have been unveiled for the world’s largest yacht, Somnio, which will serve as a jaw-dropping floating condo for the super-rich.
The 500million-euro (£430million/$600million) ‘yacht liner’ – which has a length of 222m (728ft) – will offer 39 ultra-luxury apartments starting at 9.5million euros (£8.1million/$11.2million).
Each of the huge apartments will be fully customisable and the renderings show some of the possibilities – beautiful wooden floors, bespoke chandeliers and shell-shaped double beds.
