A LIFE WITHOUT
BOUNDARIES
Ulyssia Residences AG recently introduced an impressive
residential superyacht – Ulyssia - measuring some 1,050 feet
that’s set to take luxury living on the high seas to new heights.
KAHTERINE GANNON
Spearheading the design is the renowned naval architect Espen Øino, whose illustrious career spans over two decades of crafting custom yachts for global clientele. Indeed, the exterior lines of Ulyssia are more reminiscent of a superyacht than a residence ship, pushing the boundaries to create a truly unique vessel, with esteemed German shipbuilder Meyer Werft – boasting 225+ years of shipbuilding experience- ensuring construction will adhere to the highest standards.
Ulyssia will be comprised of 132 exceptional residences, plus 13 guest suites, with living spaces ranging from 1,790 to over 15,000 square feet, available in configurations ranging from one to six bedrooms and including reception areas, open-plan kitchens, and terraces. Select residences, plus the vessel’s common spaces, have been penned by FM Architettura. Led by Francesca Muzio, the firm has designed over 100 the world’s most prestigious superyachts and the firm’s motto, “I am my Home” is a perfect fit for what will be a floating, like-minded community. In total eight designers - including Jean-Michel Gathy (Aman Resorts, Four Seasons), Sabrina Monte Carlo (superyacht and residential specialist), and even Lenny Kravitz – are on hand to provide unique, bespoke touches in line with residents’ every design wish.
Indeed, Ulyssia’s common spaces and amenities will rival any found on dry land. Its state-of-the-art, 20,500 sq. ft. spa and wellness center will feature the renowned Chenot Method® that, through a science-backed approach, leading edge medical equipment (including MRI, CT scanners, ultrasound, and more), plus a combination of Chinese and precision medicine, is aimed at future-proofing the body. Additionally, those wishing to stay active can take advantage of the ship’s fully equipped gym, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, Padel / pickleball courts, golf simulator, group fitness classes, and a one-of-a-kind 650m jogging track. And, in the extensive marina and beach club, an array of water toys including fishing and sailing boats, jet skis, kayaks, and a dive center.
For those looking for off-ship adventure, EYOS will create a program of once-in-a-lifetime expeditions as Ulyssia moves between upscale yachting ports to must-see global cities, and onto the furthest and most remote areas of the planet, including underwater in the ship’s 2 Triton submersibles. And, with two helicopters aboard – available for guest transfers as well as medical evac, ‘flight seeing’, heli-skiing and ice-field recon – there are few places that remain inaccessible to these lucky few residents and their guests.
For the non-thrill seekers, on board amenities will be broad and varied including a well-stocked signature wine cellar, a collection of restaurants featuring a rotation of “world-renowned” and “up-and-coming” guest chefs, a two-level theater, extensive library, art studio, nightclub, cigar and billiards room, plus guest lectures from world-class experts.
Given the type of person this ship is likely to attract, cutting-edge connectivity, conference centers, and a business library will ensure full work capability aboard. Safety and security will be of the utmost importance with industry leader MarineGuard protecting against air, surface and subsurface threats. And, naturally, exemplary service will cater to every whim or day-to-day need.
Ownership is a shared freehold and in perpetuity, in proportion to the square footage owned, and residents will have input on shaping the yacht’s itinerary.
So… where shall we go first?
