Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, is known for his lavish spending and owning several luxurious properties around the world, including a serene superyacht worth dollars 400 million (Rs 32,74,61,20,000).
The Crown Prince bought the yacht from the previous owner, Russian businessman Yuri Shefler in 2015.
The 134-meter Serene yacht built by Italian shipyard Fincantieri, has many elements inside that make it the masterpiece it is.
It can accommodate up to 24 guests in 12 cabins with private decks, and 52 crew members, including the captain, in 30 cabins.
As per a report by luxury launches, the yacht’s facilities include seven swimming pools, an underwater viewing room, a health spa, a saltwater pool, outdoor cinema and a nightclub over the combined 48,000 square feet.
One such standout element is a snow room—cooled to 12 degrees Fahrenheit and featuring real snow falling from the ceiling.
A dedicated children’s playroom makes the ship a family-friendly cruise experience for guests. There is an indoor climbing wall, wet bar and jacuzzi on the top floor.
The yacht also has two helicopter pads. The yacht’s fun features include an on-board pizza oven and teppanyaki grill. Its interior is defined as modern and luxurious with attention to detail.
The yacht offers many social spaces for guests to use and a conference room where they can conduct business on board.
At a distance of 5000 nautical miles, the yacht has a maximum speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, one of the most expensive works of art ever purchased for 450 million dollars (Rs 36,86,96,25,000) in 2017 (more than the yacht itself), is on display on the yacht.
Prior to the sale of the yacht to the Crown Prince, Serene was provided for charter to select guests. Among them is Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who reportedly rented Serene for 5 million dollars (Rs 40,97,49,500) a week during the summer of 2014.
