The latest addition to the Princess Yachts award-winning X class range is the all-new Princess X90.

Unveiled at Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, the X90 will sit between the X80 and Flagship X95 Vista models and promises to bring a new dimension to this pioneering range of 'super flybridge' yachts.

Combining ground-breaking design with exceptional space and a level of luxury and attention to detail that is unmistakably Princess, this new yacht is an evolution of an already forward-thinking X-Class range.

With an array of novel features, the X90 is destined to find an eager following in international markets, including Australia.

Tony Jones, Princess Australia Sales Executive and specialist in larger motor yachts describes the X90 as "a unique proposition in this class".

"The X90 is the first Princess model to incorporate drop balconies to port and starboard cockpit bulwarks, extending the leisure space substantially and enhancing guests' connection to the water.

"The unique curved patio door to the aft main deck dining area gives greater adaptability and flow between the aft deck and the saloon for entertaining, and the spacious main deck owner's suite features an optional gullwing door, providing direct access through to the owner's foredeck terrace.

"Princess is renowned for its open bridge sports boats, and the brand excels in this category. But moving into the larger 'super flybridge' models, the X80 and above, with climate-controlled skylounge and the options for customisation, that's where Princess really shines.

"When Australians see the X90 in comparison with competitors, they will be utterly amazed at the space, refinement and abundance of features," Jones added, hinting at larger models such as the X105 and X110 on the drawing board.

Greg Haines, Princess Australia Managing Director, visited the factory in early 2025 and walked through the full-size mock-up of the X90.

"It has all the attributes you'd expect on a superyacht," he states. "The fold-down balconies on the aft deck add valuable space to this social area. The glass transom and open plan cockpit further add to the sensation of being close to the water."

Other features of the X90 include expansive glazing in the main deck saloon to fill the area with natural light.

The galley is also situated on the main deck and can be specified to open to the saloon with a sociable breakfast bar, or a fully enclosed configuration. With either format, a side deck door to the port deck and access down to the forward crew accommodation are both situated here to ensure owner and guest privacy.

This entire deck, from the forward cockpit to the master stateroom, is on a single level similar to that of her larger sibling, the X95.

The main deck master stateroom boasts 180º glazing, providing breathtaking views. An optional gullwing door can also offer private access to the 'Owner's Foredeck Terrace', which is a secluded space for morning coffee or dinner à deux.

On the flybridge, there is the signature X Class enclosed Skylounge, featuring large sofas to port and starboard, with the option to fit an 85-inch TV, creating an incredible space to enjoy family movie nights or watch the game. There is also the option to place a day head up here. Sliding doors lead to the enclosed wheelhouse, where owners and guests can enjoy the views while cruising or at a top speed of 28 knots, depending on engine choice.

Moving aft, the canopy of the Skylounge provides shade to the dining area for those wanting protection and privacy while enjoying sea views. Owners are able to choose from a number of distinct layout options for the aft deck, including a spa bath, an optional bar or the flexibility to leave the space clear for loose furniture. There is also the option to fit a crane and utilise some of the space to stow a tender. The entertaining options do not end there, though; the flybridge foredeck features forward and aft-facing seating areas and a coffee table, which can also be converted to sun lounges with a simple flip of the backrest.

Below deck, guest accommodation features three double cabins with ensuites as standard and the option to specify two cabins in lieu of the full beam stateroom, creating a 5-cabin yacht. Crew quarters are situated forward of the lower deck and consist of up to three crew cabins, a crew bathroom, and a crew mess area with seating and a galley.

The new X90 builds upon the innovative design of the Princess X Class series, offering contemporary design, intelligent use of features, and space to provide unforgettable experiences for owners and guests alike. Exceptional craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail throughout ensure she is also unmistakably a Princess.

The first Princess X90 is set to debut in early 2026 and already promises to be a highly popular addition to the Princess X Class series.
