Introducing the new Royal Princess
As per reports, the Royal Princess weighs in at 141,000 tons and can carry 3,600 passengers, making her slightly bigger than last year’s major debuts, the Disney Dream, Carnival Magic and Celebrity Silhouette. Princess has revealed more details about the atrium it plans for the Royal Princess, which will be 50% larger than the atriums on other recent Princess, ships.
As well as featuring existing outlets present on current Princess ships, the plans will see the addition of a new ice cream outlet and a luxury gift shop, targeted at those celebrating major events such as birthdays and weddings on board. A new cocktail bar called Bellini’s will also debut, along with a seafood bar selling sushi, sashimi, ceviche and caviar.
Outside, guests will be able to walk along a new glass-bottomed walkway which extends over 28 feet (8.5 meters) from the edge of the vessel.
In a preview video, the atrium is shown as a ‘street-cafe’-style open space, with glass staircases, backlit floors and venues that appear to float in mid-air, a new design style which the line describes as an ‘evolution’ of its current atriums. On the top deck, there will be a new adults-only pool and other new pools which surround a tropical “island” that offers sunbathing by day and an outdoor nightclub in the evenings. The first preview cruise will depart in June and the Maiden Voyage will see the Royal Princess tour the Mediterranean, Princess confirmed.

The Iwana 87m Superyacht celebrates the Year of the Water Dragon
An 85m long superyacht British Designer Alex McDiarmid has created another Iwana. This time around the Superyacht Iwana 87m is 2-meters longer and has been inspired by the Water Dragon instead. Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Dragon, the yacht’s main structure is shaped like a dragon head, with the decks and communication tower “inspired by the dorsal crests of Dragons and beautiful marine iguanas.” The super structure features a panoramic roof window running over the yacht and a solar panel system in the ‘Magic Smart Glass’ that let glass change colors for “privacy, sun/glare protection and visual entertainment”.
The deck space aft features a hull that can open into “two, fold down, roll out, and wrap around bathing platforms” which is a treat for the sun-bathing lovers. Head over to the main deck, for a social and relaxation zone, and a swimming pool aft. A jacuzzi is place inside owners private dining deck. The upper deck features yet another private retreat for the owner.
Shahid Khan’s Kismet Yacht
Built in 2007 in Germany, the yacht is on sale Moran Yacht & Ship for a staggering $112 million. The impressive vessel features a formal dining salon, disco, teak decks, jacuzzi, sauna, gym along with a 25-foot Chris Craft boat and Yamaha. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests in its six staterooms and have a 17 member crew on board.
Till it finds a suitable buyer, the ship will be available on rent at 600,000 per week for winter Caribbean cruises and $789,000 per week for summer vacations to the Mediterranean region. While the move to sell of his yacht does make us wonder if he’s that cash strung after buying an NFL team, Khan denies the news.
