NORD STAR

n the dwindling days of winter 2020, the 466ft Lürssen was captured undergoing sea trials in the Baltic Sea ahead of her delivery. One of the largest yachts in the world by length and gross tonnage, this ice-classed explorer with six decks takes her position in our Top 101 list. However, more than her size, it is her stunning appearance that has captured the imagination of superyacht fans everywhere. Her exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard puts the yacht’s helicopter capabilities front and center. A squared bow sporting a backlit nameplate and unique paint scheme are just a few of the features that will make instantly recognizable wherever she goes.
