Explore the Epic 948-Foot Superyacht with Exquisite Duplexes and Triplexes, Complete with Private Elevators

Too frequently, the most innovative superyacht designs never make it to the water. However, this is not the case with Njord. The 948-foot megayacht, which Ocean Residences Development (ORD) unveiled last year, could strike the water within four years.

According to a recent proclamation, the “world’s largest private residence yacht,” Njord, will be built at Meyer Werft and delivered in 2025. During its two-hundred-year history, the German shipyard has delivered approximately fifty luxury liners and is adept at building vessels of this size.

ORD’s chief executive Kristian Stensby said in a statement, “We are fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Meyer Werft, a company that has been shipbuilding for 226 years, or seven generations, and is the world leader in building innovative and complex passenger vessels with a stellar reputation for exceptional quality, precision, and on-time deliveries.”

Njord, named after the Norse deity of the seas and winds, is a luxurious high-rise ideally suited for ocean adventures. The ship will be outfitted with 117 luxury residences, each with two to six apartments. The most desirable units, however, are the 16 duplexes and triplexes with their own private elevators. Depending on size, each residence begins at $8 million, and the cost of ownership maintenance is 5% of the purchase price.

Seafarers will also have access to numerous outdoor terraces, a sundeck, beach club, two outdoor pools, an indoor hydro pool, wellness facilities, a nightclub, jazz lounge, and an observatory. In addition, there are RIBs, toys, and tenders for additional enjoyment and exploration.

From Antarctica to the Mediterranean, Njord will embark on excursions across the globe. Moreover, it will do so in a sustainable manner. The vessel will be constructed in accordance with the “strictest” environmental regulations to reduce its carbon imprint. It will feature state-of-the-art dual-fuel engines, hybrid operation batteries, thermal recovery systems, and advanced power management systems.

In addition, Njord will feature a professional oceanographic laboratory that will aid scientists and researchers in addressing climate change and other urgent issues.

Bernard Meyer, proprietor of the shipyard, added, “Our company is proud to begin construction on the world’s most eco-friendly ship.” “Meyer Werft’s dedication to ocean conservation is a top priority, and the vision of M/Y Njord as a Ship With A Purpose is directly aligned with our company’s values and commitment to the environment.”
