Princess reveals first images of 33-metre Odyssey 108

Princess Yachts has revealed the first exterior and interior images of its new 33-metre Odyssey 108, with the new model also marking a design collaboration with London-based superyacht studio Harrison Eidsgaard.

A scale model of the Odyssey 108 is on display on the Princess Yachts stand at the Monaco Yacht Show alongside the Princess X90, which was introduced earlier this month at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

“When we announced Odyssey, we set out our ambition to return Princess to the 30-metre-plus market and build on everything we have learned over more than 60 years of designing and building yachts in Plymouth,” says Will Green, CEO of Princess Yachts.

“A year on, Odyssey is becoming very real. The design has progressed enormously, the engineering programme is well underway, and the successful completion of our first hull tank tests is another important milestone.”

The Odyssey 108 is being developed as a tri-deck passage-making superyacht, with Princess targeting a range of more than 2,600 nautical miles at nine knots.

Harrison Eidsgaard collaboration

Princess is working with Harrison Eidsgaard on the interior styling, bringing the studio’s experience in large custom yachts together with the boatbuilder’s existing design and engineering teams.

Ben Harrison, co-founder of Harrison Eidsgaard, says: “Princess is a brand we have long admired, so we are delighted to have the opportunity to work together on the interior of Odyssey.

“There is a real synergy between our respective approaches to design, a belief in creating something beautiful and distinctive but always with purpose, functionality and attention to detail at its heart.”

There’s room for eight guests across four cabins, with an optional five-cabin layout for up to ten guests. Crew accommodation is for five across three cabins as standard, with an optional arrangement for up to seven crew.

Hybrid Fast Displacement Hull

The Odyssey 108 is being developed with a new Hybrid Fast Displacement Hull, designed in collaboration with Princess’ naval architects, Olesinski.

Princess says the hull has undergone extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and has now completed its first programme of physical tank testing.

The yacht will have a range of more than 2,600 nautical miles at nine knots, with three MAN V12 engine options available.

The most powerful option, twin MAN V12X-2200 engines, is projected to give a maximum speed of 19–21 knots. Alternatively, the yacht can be fitted with twin Rolls-Royce MTU V12 2000 M96Z engines, each producing 2,222hp.

The Odyssey 108 has a gross tonnage of 277 GT. The first yacht is scheduled to enter the water in 2029, ahead of its world premiere in 2030.
