About
Accommodation
The tri deck design creates two glass-clad lounges over the main and upper decks. The main salon is the largest, with an open-plan sweep of space and light leading to a dining area. The salon's lounge features two full-height doors leading to the side decks, optional drop-down balconies adding one of many real wow moments.
The galley is discreetly located forward, with a very useful serving pantry ensuring food and drink can be swiftly distributed.
The upper deck skylounge is an elevated and more private space with wonderful views and its own private deck. The exact layout of the skylounge is very much left to the Owner’s desires, with everything from a straightforward social area to a full gym possible.
As a pilothouse design, the Princess has a highly professional helm station on the upper deck. Including a Captain’s cabin and office, the bridge has a broad stretch of displays and touch screen controls with plenty of space and seating for guests or crew to join the Captain.
The main deck Owner's stateroom is superb. Princess has delivered incredible space and luxury with a proper study, lounge, two walk-in closets and a big en-suite. The elevated position creating wonderful views from the deep hull windows.
The four guest cabins are all ensuite with two VIPs and two twins. The Princess also offered a six-cabin laylout with five guest cabins on the lower deck, using its palatial amidships VIP to deliver two versatile double cabins - a useful charter feature if chosen as a new build option.
On Deck
The tri-deck design creates three exterior decks, with two tiers of aft deck terraces for dining and lounges and a full sundeck at the very top of each yacht.
With so much space to play with, each sun deck could be laid out in various ways. The options are myriad, with easily enough room for a bar, lounge, dining table, Jacuzzi and free deck area for loungers.
The upper deck aft runs off the skylounge and presents a more private place to retreat to, again there were plenty of options on the final layout from tradtitional lounges to gyms.
Modern design has seen the foredeck become a far more useful and fun part of a yacht. Here, the Princess creates a superb lounge with seating and sunpads. An exhilarating spot when underway, it also creates a private retreat in port, when the yacht is moored stern-to.
Amenities & Tenders
The tender garage lies at the stern, with space for a RIB or sportsboat and a PWC. There is lots of additional stowage too, where deck loungers, dive kit and other toys can be safely stowed.
Performance & Capabilities
The Princess can easily hit 20knots with its semi-displacement planing hull powered by conventional twin shaftdrives and running on the excellent MTU 12V M93 block. The 228tonne Princess using the 3508hp version to hit its 23-knot top speed.
For long-distance cruising, the Princess comes with near-30,000lt tanks as standard, allowing the yacht to stretch its range to around 2000nm.
From The Manufacturer
The flagship Princess 40M is a sublime expanse of interior and exterior living space which can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests and seven crew in complete privacy. Constructed to world-class standards and with enviable presence, she delivers class-leading levels of luxury and build detailing.

It also features expansive walk-in wardrobes and an ante-room which owners can specify to suit their requirements.
