In the world of superyachts, few names stand out like Luminance. Built by the world-renowned German shipyard Lürssen, this incredible vessel was delivered in 2024 and is already making waves in the yachting world. With its enormous size, elegant design, and world-class features, Luminance represents the perfect blend of luxury, power, and innovation on the sea.
At 138.8 meters (455.5 feet) long, Luminance is one of the largest private yachts on the planet. She is longer than a football field and stands among an elite group of yachts over 100 meters in length. But size isn’t everything—what truly sets her apart is the thoughtful craftsmanship and stunning design that make her a floating palace.
Luminance was built with great attention to detail by Lürssen, one of the most respected yacht builders in the world. Their shipyard in Bremen, Germany, has been behind some of the most iconic yachts ever made. For this project, they worked with Espen Oeino International, a famous design studio responsible for the sleek and modern exterior. The result is a clean, streamlined look that’s both powerful and graceful.
Inside, the yacht’s interior was crafted by Zuretti Interior Designers, known for creating warm, elegant spaces that feel like high-end homes. Luminance’s interior is no exception—it features beautiful materials, cozy furnishings, and wide, open spaces where guests can relax in style. Every detail has been carefully thought out to provide both beauty and comfort.
The Luminance yacht is built to carry up to 40 guests in total comfort. There are 20 guest cabins on board, each designed with privacy and relaxation in mind. Whether it’s a master suite or a guest room, every space is decorated to the highest standards.
To provide a seamless luxury experience, the yacht is staffed with a team of 24 crew members, trained to deliver top-quality service. From housekeeping to food and beverage to navigation, the crew ensures that every guest feels like royalty from the moment they step aboard.
Life on board the Luminance is filled with luxury amenities. The yacht features a large swimming pool perfect for relaxing under the sun, as well as a Jacuzzi on the deck for soaking in ocean views. There’s also a gym with state-of-the-art equipment, so guests can stay active while traveling.
For those seeking peace and pampering, the yacht has a beauty salon and a relaxing beach club at the back, close to the water. High-speed Wi-Fi and a modern entertainment system keep guests connected and entertained, while an elevator makes it easy to move between decks.
At night, underwater lights give the yacht a magical glow, creating an unforgettable ambiance for evening gatherings or peaceful stargazing.
While luxury is a big part of the Luminance experience, this yacht is also a high-performing vessel. Powered by two MAN 16V28/33D engines, each producing 9,789 horsepower, Luminance can cruise at a smooth 15 knots and reach a top speed of 20 knots.
The yacht’s steel hull and aluminum superstructure ensure both strength and lightness. She also features an advanced stabilizer system, which keeps the yacht steady, whether she’s cruising across open waters or anchored in a peaceful bay. This means guests can enjoy a comfortable ride, even in choppy seas.
Currently sailing under the Cayman Islands flag, Luminance has recently been spotted near Italy, turning heads with her grand appearance. While she is not available for charter, her presence alone draws attention and admiration from onlookers and yacht enthusiasts alike.
Because she is a private yacht, Luminance offers her owner a high level of privacy and exclusivity. Her custom design ensures that every corner reflects personal taste, from the artwork on the walls to the layout of the cabins.
Luminance isn’t just big—she’s smartly built. Her gross tonnage is an impressive 9,861 GT, which means she has a huge amount of internal space. That’s much larger than many other yachts of similar length, making her one of the most spacious yachts on the water.
She also holds a Lloyd’s Register classification, which means she was built to meet some of the highest safety and construction standards in the marine industry.
