Lürssen’s homework was to build a 60 meter yacht with a concept and design different to the typical cruise model, and like it is said in its name “Vive la Vie”, this ship is an example that there always are refreshing new ideas that challenge the owner, the shipyard, the designers and all the rest involved.

Live life is the correct name for this yacht that has every kind of ambience and comfort fit for a mansion: a great room, game room, gym, dining room. The VIP area next to the pool.

The dining table is designed in such a way that it can be completely elevated leaving that entire space free to be transformed into a dance floor ¡simply fantastic!

 

First Surprise

The main entrance can be appreciated in a fantastic elevator surrounded by crystals, just like the stairs and handrails, also crystal, that are in itself works of art.

DAt the whole of the stairs spectacular crystal bridges take over, which are suspended in braiding steel grills. These bridges lead from the entrance to the main stairway or to the crystal elevator, appeared to be floating and carpeted showing the way to the bridge deck or the inferior deck.

An illuminated crystal sculpture is integrated to the crystal elevator. The lighting in the elevator can be programmed to change color, depending on whether is day time or night time or the mood you prefer to change it in.

Going backwards, the main entrance makes way to the main room that despite being designed in a much opened manner includes four separate areas.

On the starboard side there is a sort of wooden floor gallery. The exterior edge of the roof is covered in leather, designed in waves, that underlines this relax area, which also offers magnificent exterior views.

 

Magical Dining RoomThe dining room, without a doubt, has an unusual characteristic for a yacht this size. Besides offering the guests wide non obstructed views, the table can be moved allowing the room to be used as a discotheque.

The picture is in itself pretty spectacular, the middle part of the board includes a Gold wire woven element that is lit from below, but when the board elevates it works as a lighting element from the roof. The rest of the table is covered in a crocodile skin imitation.

The dining room table is offered for a casual dinner or for breakfast, which can be for eight people.

 

Pink Suites
The owner’s suite has a round shape and the bed is placed on a round spinning platform in the center, which allows for a selection of bed positions of day to night, of schedule just like an alteration to admire spectacular views through the total height of its windows. Gold panels on the roof and designer lamps make this room a very impressive one.

The owner’s area is presented in a tail shape. A central hallway guides you to the “Little boy´s Cabin”, with a small hall that enters the stern, separated it and its bathroom from port to starboard by two dressing rooms. The “Little girl´s Cabin”,is the little ones dream, with pink fantasy colors and connected to its bathroom.

 

More Amenities
In front of the main vestibule there is a hall that makes way beyond a dust to a magnificent gym room at starboard and in the VIP cabin at the ports. The road continues further ahead in an elevated platform headed forward towards the formal dining room.
LThe fitness room offers a splendid exterior view. A gym wall separates the hall with the wooden shutter panels that can be opened and closed as you wish.
Due to the immense windows and the white dominant colors, the VIP cabin is a very Light living room. The ceiling has the same radio than the Windows and the shape of the bathrooms is also curved.

 

Motors
The “Vive la Vie” is propelled by two Caterpillar motors, each one of 1.455 Kw, which make it possible to reach a speed of 15.5 knots.

The generated groups are found within soundproof spaces and vibrations, guarantying a very quite atmosphere for the guests.

The Project was delivered just in time in June 2009, with the interior design n behalf of the Artline office. Without a doubt it´s spectacular from wherever you see it and we invite you to enjoy it.
