This premium vessel has been designed to meet the most demanding environmental standards while providing passengers an elegant interior design and the highest level of comfort and convenience, with private balconies and large, open-air areas.

The vessel has a back-up diesel-electric powerplant which allows it to reach a speed of 14.2 knots and complies with all the regulations on emissions and environmental protection

SENER's CAD CAM FORAN system was used to develop this project, both for the naval architecture calculations and to carry out the detailed engineering of the structure and outfitting.

SENER also took part in this project, providing the full basic engineering of the vessel (except the rigging), interfacing with the DNV Classification Society, as well as doing some additional modifications at the shipowner's request, including: extension of the ship's stern, and therefore its length (1.9 m), changes to ballast, diesel and fresh water tanks, replacement of steel blocks with aluminium blocks, modification of the forward area of the Veranda deck, and change of location of the accommodation ladder. Upon delivery of the ship, SENER also performed the inclining test and prepared the ship's stability report.

SENER congratulates METALSHIPS Shipyard on the development of this project and wishes it every success in its future endeavors.
