Join Princess Yachts to witness the joint global launch of the new V50 (with boot Düsseldorf) and show debut of the all-new Princess 55.

The award-winning S65, new V40 and Princess 43 make up the stunning display at London Excel from 10th – 14th January 2018.

V50 – global launch

Following in the footsteps of the recently launched V40, the new V50 quintessentially showcases the dynamic exterior, exceptional seakeeping and voluminous space of our V Class range. Her striking exterior styling features port light windows which cascade the length of her deep-V hull, flooding the saloon and cabins with natural light.

The main deck exterior spaces feature the new V Class metallic grey and Graphite grey metallic finish across cockpit furniture including the wet bar, canopy and spider structure.

Flexibility is offered in abundance with the option of an enclosed or open main deck configuration with L-shaped seating or sunpad aft leading to the spacious and airy saloon and helm seating.

Innovative flexibility continues to the well-appointed lower deck saloon which can be used as an entertaining space or provides the option to convert to a double berth. There is the added option of specifying this area with a third cabin. The full beam master stateroom is an inviting sanctuary whilst the forward cabin enjoys the option of scissor berths.

The electro-hydraulic bathing platform ensures easy access to enjoy watersports and the garage can accommodate a 3.25m tender on the V50 Open.

Take a spirited dash of speeds up to 32 knots† with twin Volvo IPS 600 engines.

Princess 55 – show debut

From the moment you step aboard her teak decking, luxurious space is a constant companion. The distinctive design ethos of the Flybridge range flows seamlessly on the exterior of the Princess 55 with contrasting textures and materials incorporated throughout with smart paneling, directionally laid teak veneers, inlaid polished stainless steel and contemporary paint finishes.

The sociable flybridge includes a U-shaped aft seating area with folding teak dining table, a wetbar with optional electric barbecue and twin helm seats are accompanied by L-shaped companion seating that converts to a sunpad.

The main deck features a spacious dining area in the cockpit and an aft galley which perfectly lends itself to dining al-fresco. When the sun has set, move into the saloon with its U-shaped sofa and hand-made coffee table that converts into a dining table (optional), with sofa opposite or catch a movie on the 49" screen that raises up from the sideboard. Twin helm seats have been reimagined with fore and aft adjustment for helmsman. Fantastic open space to relax can be found forward with the seating area and generous sunpad.

Below, expansive hull windows create a sense of constant forward motion while generously flooding the interior with light. Lower accommodation consists of a master stateroom with dressing table, breakfast area and ensuite bathroom, a forward double guest cabin and a starboard twin cabin with the option of a double bed conversion. There is also an optional single aft cabin with ensuite and storage, ideal for crew.

This oasis of calm can be propelled to a top speed approaching 33 knots†, and all with nimble composure. Refinement and performance in equal measure.
