Light, transparency, and enhancement of spaces characterise the essence of the Crystal 140’, born from the hands of Stefano Righini for the exterior layout and François Zuretti for the interiors, with the choice of fabrics and other elements of the first-rate interior decor being the province of the interior design firm Ahmed Chabebe & Asociados.

Just as the loyalty of its customers, the dimensions of the Princes Yachts have increased. Chris Gates, Managing Director of the company explains the reason for the increase in length: “I’ve been with Princess over 25 years, and in that interval, a dozen times, we have said that a particular model will be the largest ship that will be produced. But the constant requests from our customers lead us to develop larger vessels.”
