Hi Bill, I dint really do the boat much justice yesterday as I had just driven 800km in -10 deg C and was a bit tired when I posted the photos.
Here is my description as best as I can remember.
(See the GA on the kaiserwerft website.)
We boarded the yacht from the aft, where the Catwalk theme is evident, in that there is a pathway of teak planking that runs from the aft terrace into the full width main salon, and ends in a very interesting companionway, framed by coloured lights , which in turn leads up to the observation lounge where the catwalk is featured again ,this time the material is a grainy darker oak, apparently 100s of years old. The catwalk is interesting in that the teak strips are separated by various materials, and of varying widths, as far as I remember there is glass, and perhaps some kind of stone.
We left the main saloon by a companionway on the starboard side which leads to the entrance lobby (slouching area) on the starboard side and Galley to port. Here the head room is about 3m at the sides, which allows you to appreciate the huge windows but reduces to about 2m in the midships due to the observation deck above.
From the entrance lobby/galley a few stairs offset from the center line lead fwd and upwards to the owners cabin, which features an interesting Nautilus themed sofa area, and great panoramic windows. Another 2 stairways lead fwd and aft down to the lower guest and crew accommodation. The guest accommodation is themed white on the starboard side and wood on the port side.
The upper tween deck is accessed via the main catwalk stairway form the saloon an additional turning stairway on the port side of the yacht fwd of the main saloon and aft of the galley, a few steps lead up form this area to the bridge and penthouse behind, which features a dance floor and a pretty big sound system!
Below the main deck aft terrace are additional crew cabins and access to the tender garage and generously proportioned engine room.
All in all they fit a lot into this size of boat, (2 double vip cabins , 2 twin guest, and a huge master stateroom) I particularly liked the wood finish along the main deck windows.
