Launched in 1990, her original naval architecture and exterior styling was the work of Platou Architects, with interiors from Alberto Pinto. Today, among her sensational amenities is a hexagonal Jacuzzi on the sundeck, a mosaic pool that converts into a dance floor and timeless, sophisticated interiors that vary from dark wooden panelling in the bedrooms and formal dining room to the light skylounge with arched windows and a grand piano for entertaining.

A main deck dressing room was added along with an upgrade to the aft-deck swimming pool, and the understated exterior lounge areas give plenty of room for alfresco parties to spread out, served by a crew of 29. While cruising, the guest accommodation provides for 14 guests in seven en-suite cabins.
