From Dubaï to Monaco: Inside the World of Luxury Yachts
Skiers glide down the pristine glacier slopes in one of the most exclusive off-piste adventures imaginable. With no ski lifts, the only access is by helicopter. After a dozen exhilarating runs, the group is ready to return to their luxurious base. A quick four-minute flight brings them back to their mega yacht, the "Legend," anchored off Greenland's coast.
The "Legend," a 78-meter-long expedition yacht, is designed for polar exploration, offering luxury even in the most remote corners of the world. Owned by Dutch millionaire Jan Verkerk, the yacht is equipped with 13 five-star cabins, a cigar lounge, a grand piano, and a crew of 30. This high-end adventure caters to the elite, blending rugged outdoor experiences with extravagant comfort.
Billionaires like Roman Abramovich and Jeff Bezos also indulge in such luxury. Abramovich’s yacht, the "Eclipse," boasts a missile defense system and two helipads, while Bezos enjoys the "Flying Fox," a 136-meter yacht with a beach club and two swimming pools. Other elite adventurers, like Richard Branson, invest in private islands and space exploration, pushing the boundaries of luxury travel.
For these privileged few, exclusive trips like this represent not just relaxation but a statement of status and power, merging wealth with the thrill of nature’s wildest landscapes.
