Somnio Superyacht: Inside the World’s Largest Yacht

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cruise around the world in your own luxury yacht? Imagine yourself on a beautiful, sunny day, lounging on the deck of Somnio superyacht and admiring the ocean views.

This incredible vessel is not only the largest yacht in the world, but it’s also one of the most luxurious. With just 39 floating apartments, Somnio offers everything you could possibly want or need while sailing the high seas. Come explore this amazing boat and find out what makes it so special.

Inside Somnio Superyacht

Somnio yacht is being built by Norwegian ship designer Vard, a division of Fincantieri, the Italian shipbuilding company. The name somnio comes from the Latin word for I dream, and this yacht is certainly a boat of dreams.

If you’re curious to know more about this one-of-a-kind superyacht, keep reading for an inside look at all its features.

Somnio Superyacht Specifications

Launching in 2024, the superyacht Somnio is set to be the most exclusive address in the world. Measuring 728 feet (222 meters), Somnio will also be the world’s largest yacht by volume and length.

Her gross tonnage will be 33,500 GT. Somnio will accommodate 39 customizable apartments in extraordinary style. In some ways more like a cruise liner than a yacht, Somnio will have 6 decks.

This innovative yacht building project will have a construction, design and outfitting cost of around 500 million Euros.

Somnio Superyacht Apartments

The luxury apartments on board Somnio will range in size from 1600 square feet to 6500 square feet. The biggest Somnio apartment will take up most of the top deck.

Somnio apartment owners can work with either Luttenberger Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden or Winch Design from the UK . They’ll have up to three months to choose their room layout and to decide upon the materials, lighting, artworks and furniture.

The design house will also help to source items such as luxury linens, cutlery and crockery. If an owner has a specific interior decorator that they’d like to work with, they can also bring them in to help.

The first renderings from each design house are now available. Elegant wood parquet flooring, outside dining spaces, stylish chandeliers and semi-circular beds are just some of the features that you could opt for.

Of course, all room configurations can be tailored to each apartment owner’s preferences. Whether you prefer to include a gym, vast living room space with private balcony, personal kitchen, walk-in closet or a library, anything is possible.

Each apartment will be completed to the highest specifications. Designed to embody a sense of nautical glamour, they’ll feel cosy yet luxurious at the same time.

The luxurious apartments onboard  Somnio yacht liner are now available to purchase. The price starts at nine and a half million Euros. The identity of the owners will remain secret and the process is by referral or invitation only.

Co-founder Captain Erik Bredhe comments:  “Beauty may be found as much on the inside of Somnio as it is on the outside. As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards. Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature.”

Somnio Onboard Amenities

One thing that makes Somnio stand out from other ocean going vessels is the wide range of amenities onboard. There’ll be a 10,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, an onboard beach club, water-sports facilities, a choice of restaurants and a movie theater.

World-class medical care will be provided onboard so that apartment owners can enjoy their home at sea in a safe and relaxing environment. Full concierge services will be another handy perk of this true superyacht.

Somnio Superyacht Sustainability

The latest clean engine technology is being used to build Somnio. In addition, the interior designers will choose environmentally responsible materials wherever possible.

The key focus of the global itinerary will be on slow travel, whether sailing to the Mediterranean, the South Pacific or New York. There will be scientific research equipment onboard that will be used by marine experts to study the oceans.

In Conclusion: Somnio Yacht

The Somnio yacht is the largest and most luxurious in the world. It may well also be the most beautiful superyacht. Designed to accommodate 39 apartments in incredible style and comfort, Somnio boasts all the latest amenities and high tech features you could imagine.

Apartment investors will enjoy all the benefits of superyacht ownership, with the opportunity to meet like-minded people and to enjoy a unique lifestyle.

What the US$600M 'world's biggest yacht' will look like inside

It's set to be one of the largest private residence yachts in the world when it launches in 2024, but what does a luxury apartment on board the 728 foot (221 metres) Somnio actually look like?

Interior renderings of the US$600 million vessel have just been unveiled, offering a glimpse inside what's being described as the world's first "yacht liner."

While all 39 of the floating apartments, which come with a private balcony or terrace, are said to be "fully customizable," some of the options showcased include huge shell-shaped beds, expansive living areas with ocean views, and wall-length mirrors.

FLOATING HOMES

Prices start from around $11 million, with sizes ranging from 1,600 to 6,500 square feet -- the largest condo takes up most of the top deck.

Somnio, which means "to dream '' in Latin, was designed by Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, and will be built by Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD.

The interior renderings were devised by Winch Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden along with Luttenberger Design.

Those who snap up a condo on "the most exclusive address in the world" will get to work with one of the design teams for up to three months in order to "decide the room configurations and select the materials, furniture, lighting and artwork."

EXCLUSIVE ADDRESS

A gym, a library, inside and outside dining spaces, "distinct" dressing areas and a "vast living room space with 270-degree forward views" are among the options available, although the layout is to be based on the buyer's preferences.

The identity of the owners will be kept secret, but all residents will have access to full concierge services "for both onboard and land-based needs."

"As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards," Captain Erik Bredhe, co-founder of Somnio, said in a statement.

"Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature."

SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS

According to its designers, sustainability will be a key focus for Somnio, which is to be constructed with the "latest clean engine technology" along with materials and products to "create environmentally responsible interior design with a reduced impact" where possible.

Among the shared on board amenities onboard available include a 10,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room along with a lounge located in the ship's bow, a spa, a movie theater, restaurants and a beach club.

Residents will be charged an annual fee to cover expenses like maintenance and repairs, along with fuel and food.

A spokesperson for the project tells CNN Travel that Somnio has attracted exceptional interest since it was unveiled earlier this year, with some apartments already sold.

At present, The World, which measures 643 feet, is the largest private residential yacht on the globe, with a combination of studios as well as one to three-bedroom apartments on board.

A First Look at Interiors Aboard Superyacht Somnio

Set to become the world’s biggest yacht, Somnio will be home to 39 super exclusive condos.

By Irenie Forshaw

In June, specialist Norwegian shipbuilder, VARD, made waves when it announced plans to build the first-ever residential yacht liner and ‘most exclusive address in the world’, Somnio . Now renderings of the interiors aboard the gigantic 728-foot superyacht have been unveiled and they certainly don’t disappoint.

Slated to set sail in 2024, the impressive vessel will be home to 39 super exclusive condos (starting at a hefty $11.2m) across six decks, currently being offered to a select group of potential buyers on a strictly invitation-only basis.

With a build, design and outfitting budget of close to €500m (approximately $570m), the apartments, which range from 1,900 – 10,300 sq ft, will be anything but ordinary.

Future owners aboard the superyacht Somnio will be given the chance to either bring in their own personal interior decorator or work with one of three prestigious design firms – Tillberg Design of Sweden, Winch Design or Luttenberger Design – over three months to create their dream apartment.

As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards. Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature.”

Interiors have been designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living throughout the epic vessel so owners can fully immerse themselves in the ultra-luxe superyacht lifestyle.

What the $600M ‘world’s biggest yacht’ will look like inside

Tamara Hardingham-Gill, CNN • Updated 11th November 2021

(CNN) — It’s set to be one of the largest private residence yachts in the world when it launches in 2024, but what does a luxury apartment on board the 728 foot Somnio actually look like?Interior renderings of the $600 million vessel have just been unveiled, offering a glimpse inside what’s being described as the world’s first “yacht liner.”While all 39 of the floating apartments, which come with a private balcony or terrace, are said to be “fully customizable,” some of the options showcased include huge shell-shaped beds, expansive living areas with ocean views, and wall-length mirrors.

Floating homes

Prices start from around $11 million, with sizes ranging from 1,600 to 6,500 square feet — the largest condo takes up most of the top deck.Somnio, which means “to dream ” in Latin, was designed by Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, and will be built by Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD.The interior renderings were devised by Winch Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden along with Luttenberger Design.Those who snap up a condo on “the most exclusive address in the world” will get to work with one of the design teams for up to three months in order to “decide the room configurations and select the materials, furniture, lighting and artwork.”

Exclusive address

A gym, a library, inside and outside dining spaces, “distinct” dressing areas and a “vast living room space with 270-degree forward views” are among the options available, although the layout is to be based on the buyer’s preferences.The identity of the owners will be kept secret, but all residents will have access to full concierge services “for both onboard and land-based needs.””As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards,” Captain Erik Bredhe, co-founder of Somnio, said in a statement.”Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature.”

Sustainability focus

According to its designers, sustainability will be a key focus for Somnio, which is to be constructed with the “latest clean engine technology” along with materials and products to “create environmentally responsible interior design with a reduced impact” where possible.Among the shared on board amenities onboard available include a 10,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room along with a lounge located in the ship’s bow, a spa, a movie theater, restaurants and a beach club.

Residents will be charged an annual fee to cover expenses like maintenance and repairs, along with fuel and food.A spokesperson for the project tells CNN Travel that Somnio has attracted exceptional interest since it was unveiled earlier this year, with some apartments already sold.At present,  The World , which measures 643 feet, is the largest private residential yacht on the globe, with a combination of studios as well as one to three-bedroom apartments on board.

Winch Design's 222m "private residence superyacht" revealed

Winch Design has teamed up with Tillberg Design of Sweden to design a 222m “private residence superyacht” named Somnio.

The vessel, which carries a price tag of £500m, is set to begin construction at Norwegian yard Vard for a projected mid-2024 launch date. The design phase has been underway for 18 months.

• Inside the world's biggest private residence yachts

Somnio will marry “the benefits of superyacht ownership” with the service and amenities of the “world’s finest hotels”, with on board features including a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, various restaurants and bars, a huge beach club and lounge in the ship’s bow.

Somnio will also boast “world-class medical care” to protect owners against pandemics and the “latest clean engine technology” and “advanced onboard equipment” to facilitate the scientific research of the oceans.

A total of 39 on board apartments spread across six “apartment decks” are now for sale, with prospective owners either invited or referred to join. The customisable apartments, which have a starting price of €9.5m, can include features, such as a kitchen, gym, library, dining spaces and dressing areas.

• The World: Largest private residential yacht resumes sailing

The project is being overseen by Erik Bredhe, former captain of the 196m private residence vessel The World .

Speaking about the project, Bredhe said: “Somnio will be the only residential superyacht in the world and has been designed to exacting standards that are commensurate with a life of opportunity.

“Owners will share a truly unique lifestyle at sea, with a hand-picked crew and a never-ending global itinerary of carefully selected destinations and experiences befitting a yacht of this nature.”

SOMNIO Yacht – World’s Largest Yacht Will Launch in 2024

SOMNIO yacht is the name of an exclusive new yacht project that will measure 222 meters (728 ft) and will become the new largest yacht in the world, both by weight and length.

This $600 million project has been described as a residential cruise ship designed to take its exclusive passengers around the world to the most sought-after destinations in remote places.

The interior of the SOMNIO yacht will be made up of 39 individual apartments, which are to be sold separately, giving this mega yacht more than one owner.

The yacht is currently being built by VARD in Norway and is expected to set sail sometime in 2024.

SOMNIO yacht interior

While the exterior of the SOMNIO yacht is being constructed by a shipyard specialized in cruise ships, the interior is unmistakably that of a superyacht.

The London-based design house Winch will collaborate with Tillberg of Sweden, both of which have extensive experience in the world of yacht design.

This will elevate the interior of SOMNIO and set it apart from other residential vessels like, for example, THE WORLD, which appeals to a far more budget-conscious target audience.

By combining the upscale amenities and design of a super yacht with the capabilities and facilities of a luxury cruise liner, SOMNIO is meant to cater to those who want to explore remote corners of the world from the comfort of their own home on the water. 

The SOMNIO yacht will have 39 apartments available for purchase which can be customized with additional rooms or private facilities. 

While a large portion of the yacht will be shared by all residents, SOMNIO also prioritizes the privacy that a private yacht might provide.

Buyers are encouraged to add a kitchen to their apartments to make themselves self-sufficient and able to cook for themselves on longer journeys.

However, an onboard restaurant with room service is available to cater to the needs of residents should they want a more luxurious experience. 

Apartments onboard the SOMNIO yacht range from just one-bedroom suites to four-bedroom residences, which can be customized to include a library, massage room, private gym or office space.

Sizes will start at 182m2, which includes 148m2 interior space and a 34m2 terrace. The largest apartment available is the 963m2 penthouse which spans across the entire top deck.

With 602m2 interior space and a spacious 361m2 deck, this property is guaranteed to attract high-profile buyers. 

The interior design is entirely customizable, and buyers are invited to submit their ideas and requirements to the team at Winch.

The idea is for each resident to customize their living space to their own lifestyle, which might include extended stays onboard or several shorter trips.

Some might plan to work onboard while others will spend time with their families, which might require more space. 

In addition to a large swimming pool, multiple jacuzzis, and several in-house restaurants, SOMNIO yacht offers a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, a large beach club with water sports equipment, and a panorama lounge to its residents. 

Specifications

SOMNIO will become the new largest yacht in the world, measuring 222 meters (728 ft) and taking the title from AZZAM.

At a total weight of 33,500 tons, this massive yacht is often compared to a small cruise ship that caters to the richest and wealthiest. 

However, instead of joining the never-ending race of building new super yachts, SOMNIO is set to create an entirely new niche, combining yachts and cruise ships into the so-called yacht liner. 

According to Jim Dixon, the creative director of yachts at Winch Design, a large part of the building process of the SOMNIO yacht will be similar to that of a cruise ship.

VARD, where the SOMNIO yacht is being constructed, has extensive experience in this field which is why the shipyard was chosen for this project. 

Erik Bredhe is just one prominent name behind this high-profile project. The former Captain of the residential cruise ship THE WORLD is part of a steering committee that will be in charge of selecting residents for SOMNIO and inviting them to purchase apartments.

With this, he hopes to create a “community of like-minded individuals” on board the mega yacht. 

Even though the launch of SOMNIO still lies at least two years in the future, there is already considerable interest in this new yacht, according to Jim Dixon.

Since the onboard apartments are highly customizable, there is even the possibility of one owner purchasing more than one residence aboard the yacht.

This unique new yacht project will feature six decks, a large swimming pool aft of the vessel as well as a full beach club.

The 39 apartments will be spread across the decks and only the largest of which will occupy the entire top deck.

This penthouse suite will be the most exclusive onboard the SOMNIO yacht and is expected to sell for far more than the estimated $20 million for smaller apartments.

Digital renders of the mega yacht portray it with a metallic blue exterior with white elements and a large aluminum superstructure. The decks will be made of light teak with white or cream deck furniture.

The front of SOMNIO will have space for a spacious helipad which allows even large aircraft to land comfortably.

The SOMNIO yacht will follow an itinerary all around the world, prioritizing less-visited locations to be able to provide unique experiences to its residents.

The highly-experienced crew is prepared to cater to every need of its guests and adjust the route according to the wishes of the residents. ‘

Day trips and land excursions are, of course, available on request, as well as special events and celebrations. 

SOMNIO is a luxury project , and as to be expected, the price tag of this mega yacht is sizable. The project is estimated to cost between $500 and $600 million, although an exact figure is not publicly available.

The 39 luxury apartments will be available for $20 million each, although sales are expected to be by invite only.

Each apartment will be customizable and can be adapted to the needs and lifestyle of each resident.

Why choose a residential yacht when you live on a gigantic floating condo complex?

That seems to be the question posed by the designers of Somnio , the world’s first “yacht liner.” The epic vessel not only spans a staggering 728 feet, it offers 39 luxury apartments ready for well-heeled seafarers to live out their own lavish life aquatic.

The gigayacht was penned by Winch Design in partnership with Tillberg Design and aims to pair the best parts of superyacht living with the services and amenities of the finest five-star hotels.

The build, which is expected to cost in the ballpark of $600 million, will be carried out by Norwegian yard Vard under the watchful eye of Somnio co-founder Captain Erik Bredhe. Bredhe previously helmed The World , another epic residential vessel, though says Somnio will better mirror the intimacy of a private yacht.

“ The World has been a phenomenal success, though it is time for true superyacht co-ownership,” Bredhe said in a statement.

The exclusive condos, which start from $11.2 million, will be available by invitation or referral only, and the identity of each new owner will remain a “tightly guarded secret.” In addition to that privacy, those on board will live in the lap of luxury.

Each apartment is fully customizable and can be outfitted with multiple cabins, plus a well-appointed kitchen, gym, library and walk-in wardrobe. They will also offer indoor/outdoor dining spaces for entertaining.

On top of that, Somnio comes with pinch-yourself shared amenities. Owners will have access to a spectacular 10,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, along with a spate of restaurants and bars. A highlight is the lounge in the ship’s bow, which will reportedly offer “spectacular views” while under sail. Elsewhere, there’s a sprawling beach club complete with water-sports facilities as well as myriad pools on the main deck.

Naturally, there is a full concierge service to cater to your needs on land and at sea. There is also world-class medical care available onboard to keep the crew and residents safe and healthy.

As for exploration, Somnio is equipped to travel to all four corners of the globe, from short stints in the Mediterranean to expeditions in Antarctica.

“Somnio will be the only residential superyacht in the world and has been designed to exacting standards that are commensurate with a life of opportunity,” Bredhe adds. “Owners will share a truly unique lifestyle at sea, with a hand-picked crew and a never-ending global itinerary of carefully selected destinations and experiences befitting a yacht of this nature.”

Somnio will be equipped with advanced research equipment that scientists and marine experts will use to explore the various ocean environments. The scientists will also regularly update owners on pressing environmental and philanthropic issues.

California yacht loaded with 1,000 rounds of ammo, fireworks bursts into flames and sinks at popular marina.

A luxurious California yacht filled with fireworks and 1,000 rounds of ammunition burst into a fiery inferno before sinking into the Marina del Rey on Wednesday night.

The Admiral, a 100-foot, twin-diesel-engine boat, was docked in the man-made harbor when it erupted into flames, leading to a large-scale response from the LA Fire Department.

Only two hours after catching fire, the nearly million-dollar boat sank into the 800-acre marina 5 miles south of Santa Monica.

Two people escaped the blaze without injuries, the fire department reported.

Witnesses captured the flames tearing through the 100-foot yacht as fireworks illuminated the black smoke and flew across the sky.

Efforts to extinguish the flames appeared successful from the outside, but the fire burning on the inside seemed to be resistant to the water hoses as the blaze continued to destroy the interior, according to KTLA.

Dozens of first responders and intrigued community members watched the fallen boat lying in the marina while crews continued to douse the wreckage with water.

Neighbors grew fearful that the blaze would extend into nearby boats and potentially set off a chain reaction.

“I saw it fully engulfed in flames and like many of us living here, heard an explosion and saw fireworks coming off it, and more flames and then walked down here and captured video of it,” resident Lynn Rose told NBC Los Angeles .

The boat was reportedly being fueled by a propane source “complicating” firefighting efforts. Officials set up a floating physical barrier known as a boom to prevent debris, including diesel fuel, from polluting the waters.

It began listing to its side, forcing officials to evacuate everyone from the dock. The destroyed yacht sank around 10:30 p.m. while the fire continued to burn below deck.

Officials did not indicate how the fire started as of Thursday morning.

The Admiral, built by Broward Marine in 1986, featured four cabins including the master suite, could hold 10 guests with three crew members, and was last listed in 2018 for $985,000, according to Boat International.

Before its fiery destruction, the boat could reach a top speed of 18 knots (20 mph).

The owner’s identity was not immediately revealed.

Luxury yacht docked at Marina del Rey sinks after fire; explosions heard on video

MARINA DEL REY, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A high-end yacht docked at Marina del Rey sank after catching on fire Wednesday night.

The fire in Basin A was first reported around 8:30 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Firefighters responded and poured water on the 100-foot vessel from the dock at the end of Bora Bora Way.

Witness video captured the sounds of several explosions as firefighters battled the flames.

But the interior flames appeared to resist the water hoses and the boat continued sustaining damage. It quickly began taking on water from the hoses as the flames, possibly fueled by a gas source, continued to burn.

The yacht began listing, and by around 10:30 p.m. firefighters were ordered to evacuate the dock. The boat began slowly overturning onto its side and sinking into the water.

There were no major injuries reported. Two people on board exited safely, though one reported a minor cut to the arm.

There was no word on how the fire started. Authorities said it's possible ammunition was on board the vessel.

The boat is named The Admiral, but the identity of the owner was not immediately available.
