Princess Yachts has revealed the first exterior and interior CGIs for the Odyssey 108, its new 33-metre superyacht, as it prepares to return to the 30-metre-plus market.
The project also marks a new interior design partnership between Princess and London-based superyacht studio Harrison Eidsgaard, which is working alongside the Princess design team on the yacht’s interior styling.
The collaboration brings Harrison Eidsgaard’s large-yacht experience together with Princess’s design, engineering and manufacturing capability in Plymouth.
“When we announced Odyssey, we set out our ambition to return Princess to the 30-metre-plus market and build on everything we have learned over more than 60 years of designing and building yachts in Plymouth,” said Will Green, chief executive of Princess Yachts.
“A year on, Odyssey is becoming very real. The design has progressed enormously, the engineering programme is well underway, and the successful completion of our first hull tank tests is another important milestone.
“The collaboration with Harrison Eidsgaard also brings an extraordinary depth of superyacht interior design experience to the programme.”
Respective design approaches
Founded in 2005, Harrison Eidsgaard has worked across yacht, aviation and residential design, including interiors for major superyachts. Princess is working directly with founding partners Ewa Eidsgaard and Ben Harrison on the Odyssey 108.
“Princess is a brand we have long admired, so we are delighted to have the opportunity to work together on the interior of Odyssey,” said Ben Harrison, co-founder of Harrison Eidsgaard.
“There is a real synergy between our respective approaches to design, a belief in creating something beautiful and distinctive but always with purpose, functionality and attention to detail at its heart.”
Andy Lawrence, executive director of design and development at Princess Yachts, added: “Harrison Eidsgaard brings an exceptional depth of experience from the very highest levels of superyacht design but what has struck us throughout the process is how naturally our design philosophies align.
“Odyssey 108 is a hugely important development for us and having Harrison Eidsgaard working alongside our own design teams is helping us create something genuinely special.”
Tank-testing programme
The Odyssey 108 is a tri-deck superyacht with 277GT of volume, designed for long-range passage-making and extended time on board. Its hybrid fast displacement hull, developed with Olesinski, has completed its first physical tank-testing programme following CFD analysis.
The yacht is expected to offer a range of more than 2,600 nautical miles at nine knots. Three MAN V12 engine options will be available, with the most powerful twin MAN V12X-2200 installation giving a projected top speed of 19–21 knots. Twin Rolls-Royce MTU V12 2000 M96Z engines will also be offered.
Standard accommodation is for eight guests in four cabins, with an optional five-cabin layout for up to ten guests. Crew accommodation is for five as standard, with an optional arrangement for up to seven. The first Odyssey 108 is scheduled to enter the water in 2029 ahead of a world premiere in 2030.
