Sea Apartments for Global Citizens

YACHTING | 2023

Apartment yachts offer luxury condominiums, an exclusive community and a never-ending journey around the world. “Somnio”, “Njord” and “Sama” are scheduled to depart soon.

For example, the 222-metre “Somnio” (Latin for “I dream”) has 39 private residences, ranging from twin cabins of 182 m² to huge apartments of 963 m² with multiple bedrooms and living and dining areas. Listed with a starting price of € 9.5 million, the apartments can be customized and provide a level of privacy, security and exclusivity on the “Somnio” that would otherwise be expected on a private
superyacht. When it comes to interior design, owners have the option of a custom design brief to tailor the interior from Winch and Swedish project design partner Tillberg.

Ocean Residences Development’s (ORD) apartment yacht named “Njord”, scheduled for completion at Meyer Werft, will also set entirely new standards in size and amenities. Measuring 289.30 metres in length and 33.50 metres in width, it will house a total of 117 apartments. The apartments will range in size from 137 m² to 848 m² and will start at around $ 7.3 million, depending on their size. Including the crew, the “Njord”, with its volume of 84,800 gross tons, will be able to accommodate about 1,000 people. Among the incredible array of amenities and activities aboard the megayacht will be a fully equipped golf centre, a theatre and a huge library.

Also announced for 2025 is the luxury apartment yacht “Sama” from the international hotel group Aman. At 183 metres, the top-of-the-line yacht liner is to house 50 spacious suites, various restaurants, two helicopter landing pads, a beach club and a spa with a Japanese garden. Aman and Cruise Saudi, who are jointly implementing the project, promise their guests privacy, tranquillity, spaciousness and unparalleled service. The name “Sama” means tranquillity in Sanskrit – and that is expected to be one of the main incentives for the future owners of the luxury suites. The ship was designed in collaboration with SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design, one of the world’s leading yacht design firms. On board, Eastern flair and luxury yacht design philosophy were brought into rounded harmony with the architectural vision.
