The exterior styling features a sheer inverse bow and design elements more often associated with naval ships and futuristic craft. The curved mirrored glass was an impressive feat of engineering that allows guests to enjoy floor-to-ceiling panoramas, and other guest amenities include a swimming pool, beach club and Jacuzzi.
Superyacht EXCELLENCE will be relocating from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and will be available for charter.
These award-winning luxury yachts and their competitors will be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show 2019, running from the 25th to the 28th of September.
