Explorer yacht 'Olivia O' delivered and on her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean

By Katia Damborsky 29 August 2018
Featuring an innovative X-bow, the hotly-anticipated 88m/290ft megayacht ‘Olivia O’ completed sea trials in Norway earlier this month and is heading to the Mediterranean on her maiden voyage.
After successfully traversing the fjords of Norway during sea trials, the Ulstein Verft-built ‘Olivia O’ has finally been delivered, following much speculation over the unique design of the explorer yacht.
With a distinctive inverted bow, known as an X-bow, she is one of the first superyachts to sport this pioneering development in ship-building. The X-bow offers a host of advantages over traditional bow designs, the most notable being reduced motion on board and a minimised risk of damage to the 88m expedition yacht.
Ergonomically designed to slice through waves rather than slam into them, the X-bow will allow ‘Olivia O’ to sail much more smoothly, even in challenging waters. With reduced drag and fewer struggles navigating rough waters, she will consume less fuel and add increased buoyancy, leading to a much more comfortable cruising experience for her passengers.
Inspired by ancient Viking designs, Ulstein Verft has won two consecutive awards for their ships boasting X-bow designs, suggesting that in the future X-bows will become more commonplace, particularly among luxury yachts.
Ulstein Verft announced the building of ‘Olivia O’ in 2016, marking the shipyard’s first attempt at branching out into superyachts. Renowned for their tough, durable designs, Ulstein was the ideal candidate to build a sturdy luxury expedition yacht capable of navigating unpredictable seas and exploring the far-flung corners of the ocean.
With reduced drag and fewer struggles navigating rough waters, she will consume less fuel and add increased buoyancy, leading to a much more comfortable cruising experience for her passengers.
They undertook the project in collaboration with esteemed designer Espen Oeino, giving ‘Olivia O’ a superior blend of masterful craftsmanship and the finest engineering, with a sleek and sophisticated exterior.
The interiors of the yacht are yet to be released, but they will no doubt exude taste and style. Superyacht 'Olivia O' will host a superb selection of amenities, including a helipad and a 10m pool that will benefit from sunlight thanks to cut-out sections in the deck above.

OLIVIA O yacht interior
No official photos of the interior of OLIVIA O have been released. The design project was conducted by Droulers Architecture , a studio from Milan that is owned by the two sisters Nathalie and Virginie.
They have worked on several superyachts and she was one of their largest. The vessel includes seven guest cabins that can host up to 14 guests.
A further 30 crew members find space in 15 cabins below the deck. The yacht has a large movie theatre, a gym as well as a beauty salon.
Specifications
The super yacht OLIVIA O is 88 meters (288 ft) long with a beam of 16.3 meters (53.6 ft) and a 5.1-meter (16.9 ft) draft.
Due to her high draft, she is not suitable for shallow waters but rather designed for exploration and more remote journeys. Her twin electric Rolls Royce engines allow her to cruise at a speed of 14 knots although her top speeds of 15 knots aren’t much higher.
With a volume of 4.989 tons, she is very heavy, especially when considering her length.
Ulstein is typically known for constructing vessels meant for the oil industry and OLIVIA O was the first superyacht they built.
To this day she remains the largest yacht constructed at their shipyard in Norway.
When looking at OLIVIA O her unusual exterior design is immediately noticeable. She features a so-called inverted bow (or x-bow) which her builders at Ulstein are known for.
This means that the furthest tip of the bow is not located at the top but rather on the bottom of the water line. Her bow is just one more feature that clearly identifies OLIVIA O as an explorer ship and much more than just a superyacht.
She carries several tenders and features a large helipad and of course a 10-meter swimming pool.
Her remarkable bridge offers almost 360° views and is reminiscent of an exploration vessel.
The exterior design of OLIVIA O was conducted by Espen Oeino who has worked on many other prominent yacht projects in the past.
The owner Offer paid a reported price of US $200 million. She generates US $15 to 20 million in annual running costs.

Quick Enquiry
"People who charter a yacht tend to want as many experiences as they can in a short space of time. It’s essentially a vacation in compressed format, so the yacht needs to collaborate with you in that. You need lots of different places to eat on board, so every day offers something different. The yacht also needs to make getting ashore easy, for meals on the beach and excursions, so it feels like you never do the same thing twice." - Espen Øino
