Working together with Olesinski and Pininfarina, Princess has created the ultimate in avant-guard yacht construction with an evolved design meant for extended time at sea. The flow of expansive glazing along the entire length of the main deck brings the outside in, creating a sense of being at one with the ocean, whilst beautifully and carefully sculpted surfaces, with long flowing lines that extend from bow to stern, maintain the classic Princess design cues.
