Imperial Princess Yacht - 40 Metre Luxury Yacht

Check out this luxury cruising yacht. This beautiful vessel is the Imperial Princess Yacht, a newly launched luxury yacht from Princess Yachts (one of the foremost yacht making companies in England).

Exterior of the Imperial Princess Yacht

The Imperial Princess Yacht measures 40 metres (132 feet) in length, and is the largest luxury yacht to be manufactured by Princess Yachts. It has lavishly decorated interior and exterior spaces, which any millionaire would feel at home in. About 12 guests can comfortably stay aboard this luxury yacht, with around seven crew members to serve them.

The Saloon of the Imperial Princess Yacht

The Imperial Princess Yacht has three decks, and a sleek appearance which hides the fact that the rooms are really spacious from the inside. It also has drop-down balconies that extend from the saloon, and provides a nice space for entertaining and parties. The yacht weighs a huge 230 tonnes, but can still cruise at high speeds of 23 knots. This luxury sailing yacht has twin-diesel engines that provide 7000 horsepower.

The lavish master suite in the luxury yacht

The master suite of the 40 metre Imperial Princess Yacht is located on the main deck. It is very spacious, and has a beautifully-designed bathroom, walk-in closets and an ante-room. All rooms and furnishings in this luxury yacht can be customised by the buyer, to suit his or her individual tastes and styles. There is also underfloor heating in all bathrooms, including the bathroom in the master suite and guest bathrooms.

The sundeck and small bar on the roof of the luxury yacht

A great feature of Princess Yachts’ new 132 foot yacht is its two staircases. There is a grand staircase linking each deck (including the sundeck) for the yacht owner and his guests, and a smaller, discrete staircase for the use of the crew members. In addition, there is ample space below the main deck, where about five extra staterooms can be added.

The Archduke Joseph Diamond is one of the largest and finest diamonds from the Golconda mines, to ever be auctioned. The legendary Golconda diamond mines are located in south-central India. These diamond mines used to be the world’s only source of diamonds from 4 BC to 1730 AD, before diamonds were discovered in Brazil and South Africa.

The Golconda mines in India have produced some of the most famous diamonds in the world, such as the Dresden Green diamond, The Blue Hope diamond, The Beau Sancy diamond and The Kohinoor diamond. Now, it will also be known for the 76 carat Archduke Joseph Diamond.

Previously, when this 76-carat diamond was auctioned in November 1993 at a Christie’s auction in Geneva, it garnered a massive US $10.5 million, which had surpassed estimates and taken the world by surprise.
