Heesen Yachts has shown the first pictures of the inside of Project Orion, its new 49.8-meter flagship. The Dutch shipyard and Cristiano Gatto worked together to create an interior that is unique to Project Orion and fits in with the ship’s unconventional appearance.

NASA’s Orion ship was used as a model for the inside of Project Orion, which is also known as Project YN 20750. Cristiano Gatto said, “The interior design of Project Orion is the result of research driven by needs that are partly similar and partly different: comfort and luxury.”

Her interior was made to make the most of her 499 GT’s inner volume. The materials and furniture were chosen to be lighter, make maintenance of hidden equipment easier, and make installation easier. Gatto also said, “We used fine details in the construction and luxurious materials as crown jewels to make the space look more elegant while still making it cozy and comfortable.”

Heesen Yachts Interiors’ artists and craftspeople are in charge of building and finishing the inside of Project Orion. She uses more than 37 different kinds of materials, like marble, high-gloss wood, woven leather, and custom rugs.

Cristiano explained, “We used shapes and materials that give off a sense of comfort and peace while also creating a sophisticated atmosphere. The materials, their combination, details, and shapes bring out the uniqueness and exclusivity of this custom yacht interior.”

There are six luxurious rooms on Project Orion that can hold up to twelve people. On the main deck, her master suite will be in the front. On the lower deck, her VIP room, two double suites, and two twin suites will be. She gets a lot of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks.

Omega Architects made the outside of Project Orion, and Heesen and Van Oossanen made the ship’s core. The 50-meter Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) aluminum line from Heesen made her. She is light and strong. Project Orion also has a shallow draft of 2.15 meters, which makes her suitable for the Bahamas.

With a hybrid power system, Project Orion will be able to move without making noise and control power in a way that saves the most energy. She can go as fast as 16.3 knots with her two 600 kW MTU 12V 2000 M61 (IMO III) engines. At 12 knots, Orion only uses 98 liters of fuel per hour without hotel goods. In hybrid mode, at 10 knots, it only uses 45 liters per hour.
