However, the launch on the 28th February 2021 came with an unplanned theatrical shroud, as mother nature failed to read the script and covered the entire spectacle in thick fog.
Escorted out of the 280-metre-long floating dock by two tug boats, superyacht SOLARIS, designed by Marc Newson, made her public debut as the new flagship of the Lloyd Werft yard.
The yacht's understated grey and white colours blended in perfectly with the unfortunate weather, as spectators watched the fog keenly to catch a glimpse of the magnanimous yacht, and perhaps its rumoured Owner, Roman Abamovich.
As his debut in superyacht design, the Australian designer Newson has created an effortlessly elegant but also powerful megayacht, marked out by distinct architectural wraparound mast.
Many details of the yacht are still as misty as the launch, however, we do know that she has a certified helipad and eight levels. The shipyard is an interesting choice, with its dominant experience in building cruise ships. No doubt, this particular yacht will surpass the luxury found on any liner.
With SOLARIS unveiled a mere few weeks ago, her delivery date is yet to be confirmed, however, are you interested in buying a superyacht? Take a look at all the currently available new and used superyachts for sale.
