| 115-meter Project "Luna"
Apparently the much touted 115-meter Project "Luna" was launched at Lloyd Weft yard in Germany this week. The yacht is said to have an interior by Pastrovich Studio. She appears to have some lines of the "Le Grand Bleu" but still is radically different. The mast assembly and exterior styling is different in many ways. Little is known about this project but as she finishes and sets sail a little more information should come to hand. Any one with info and pictures are welcomed to share and post here!

I've seen pictures of her afloat on another site. Different, attractive, grey and rather a lot of domes.

I dont think she is grey, I think that might be that Awlgrip protective film that will be removed then she is nearing completion, at least it looks that way to me.

I have taken quite a few pictures over the past weeks - in dock and now out of it. Was wondering why all forums and specific websites had NO info - no pictures - nothing. She is moored in opposite of the Bremerhaven cruise terminal reachable by public roads. http://rides.webshots.com/album/574642079SSeNTP |

Hi,
I was in a shipyard a while ago where a section plan of LUNA was on the wall.\\
I obviously couldn't take any pics or notes.
I seem to recall it was closer to 140m.

She is nether white nor grey. Look at the pictures with the open platforms. There you can see what is under the protection and this is dark blue to me.

She is blue and has an yellow tender - pictures taken today: http://rides.webshots.com/album/574642079SSeNTP
I heard something that she is nine months behind the scedule and Eclipse two years. Seems not to be a good end for the yards...

Thanks so much Leveller, she looks top heavy with so much white on top and so little blue on the bottom. She will be impressive none the less!

Thanks Leveller! I certainly enjoyed the coverage you provided of "Luna" once she was launched, you did everyone here a big favour! Luna is definitely many steps up above "Le Grande Bleu" if you could compare her like that. She is one stylish explorer toy carrier and the interior is just as stylish! Wonder if we will see any actual photos of the interior...
