yacht nord inside

A rare look inside Nord, the $500 million megayacht of Russia’s richest man Alexei Mordashov. The 464 feet long tuxedo donning warship has palatial interiors. For extra fun, its garage has a hovercraft, a deep-diving submarine, ATV’s, a few Toyota Land Cruisers, and more.

The video shows us first-hand the elegance and enormousness of a megayacht in the truest sense of the term. From seemingly unending corridors to well-appointed interiors and the most insane tender garage, the Nord is a massive ship that’s impressive from the word go.

Yacht NORD – Elite $500M Superyacht

Owned by Russian billionaire businessman, yacht NORD is the tenth biggest yacht in the world.

The annual running costs are an incredible $40 Million per year due to her massive 142-meter length.

Yacht NORD interior

The interior of the NORD yacht was developed by Nuvolari Lenard, an Italian yacht designer who also worked on the exterior of the impressive vessel.

Twenty-four guests can be accommodated in twelve luxurious cabins, including a spacious owner’s suite. There is additional space below the deck for up to 40 crew members.

Although exact details of the interior of NORD remain private and unknown to the public, the yacht is said to have two elevators, a large gym, a sauna, a beauty salon, and a cinema.

Lenard and his design studio are known for their upscale and aesthetically pleasing layouts, which are usually kept in earth tones and natural colors.

The Italian designer also worked on Mordashov’s smaller yacht, the LADY M, where he designed both the interior and exterior.

NORD specifications

The NORD yacht has a total length of 142 meters (465.1 ft). Her beam is 19.5 meters (64 ft) long, and her draft measures 5.4 meters (17.9).

The massive yacht weighs 9,259 tons. Her four MTU engines allow her to reach top speeds of 25 knots, although her average cruising speed lies closer to 20 knots.

NORD exterior

The exterior of the NORD yacht was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and his experienced Italian design studio which is considered one of the most exclusive in the world.

The yacht is white with dark blue elements on the top decks, creating a streamlined effect and making the vessel appear even more elegant.

She has two separate helipads, one of which even has a collapsible helicopter hangar that can store smaller aircraft.

On the aft of the yacht, there is a sizeable swimming pool and beach club. NORD has a high-quality steel hull and impressive aluminum superstructure. 

The owner purchased NORD for a price of US $500 million in 2021. The yacht is estimated to incur running costs of US $40 to 50 million annually.

Nord Yacht: An Insider’s Guide

The Nord yacht was known as Project OPUS when it was still being built. It is one of the largest yachts in the world and was launched back in 2021. Like many yachts in the last year this was the target of international investigations and sanctions. However, unlike some other vessels, Nord managed to elude authorities and return to Russian waters. As such it has not been seized and no sanctions have been imposed against its owner insofar as the yacht is concerned.

According to reports, the owner was aware that a potential seizure was imminent where the boat was docked in the Seychelles. To avoid sanctions, a staggering $465,000 worth of fuel was pumped into the vessel before it set sail to Vladivostok in Russia. The non-stop journey was undertaken at full speed and covered 6,701 nautical miles which is pretty amazing. In order to make this work, the yacht had to shut off its mandatory location responders to evade notice by authorities.

Since that time, it has ventured out again and has been seen in Hong Kong, South Korea, the Maldives and, in 2023, it returned to the Seychelles.

Nord is one of the most expensive yachts ever built and features a vast array of features and amenities designed to give passengers a full luxury experience at sea.

Who is the Nord Yacht Owner?

The Nord is owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov (sometimes spelled Alexey Mordashov). Mordashov is the chairman and largest shareholder of Russia’s biggest steel and mining company Severstal. Though there are a number of billionaires in Russia, Mordashov ranks first if his family wealth is included. His fortune is estimated to be around $30 billion. 

How Big is the Nord Yacht?

The Nord is an absolutely massive 466 feet in length, making it one of the largest yachts in the world . The beam of the vessel measures in at 64 feet while the displacement is 9,250 gross tons. It features a 17.7 foot draft and has the capacity to handle up to 36 guests at one time. 

How Fast is the Nord and What Engines Does it Use?

Sources actually don’t agree on the internal working of the Nord. Lurssen, the yacht builder, does list the vessel’s speed at 18 knots which is actually in contrast to what other sources say which come in both higher and lower though they don’t specify cruising or maximum speed.

On the low end, cruising speed is listed at 15 knots. On the high end, maximum speed is listed at 20 knots. But, with Lurssen saying 18 knots, you have to take their word that it’s one or the other making either the 15 or the 20 incorrect.

Also interesting is that there is some disagreement as to whether the yacht has 2 or 4 MTU engines. It is generally agreed, however, that the Nord is working with 4,963hp MTU (20V 4000 M73L) diesel engines.

How Much Did the Nord Yacht Cost?

When the yacht was registered in the Cayman Islands the value was listed at $300 million. However, it’s also believed that this number is a bit of an undervaluation and the actual value of the yacht is somewhere around $500 million. If that higher number is true then the Nord ranks among the top ten most expensive yachts in the whole world.

It’s been estimated that annual running costs to handle all the fuel and crew salaries as well as upkeep and general costs are between $40 million and $50 million. Despite the high costs, the vessel is not a part of any yacht charter fleet and can’t be rented out if you’re in the market for a week on a luxury yacht.

Design and Features of the Yacht Nord

Superyacht Nord was designed by German yacht makers Lurssen back in 2021. The exterior and interior design of the yacht were handled by Italian design studio Nuvolari & Lenard. Like most yachts of its size it has a steel hull, teak decks and an aluminum superstructure. 

It’s been said that the yacht was designed for exploration and long-range cruising. One of the designers said it’s a warship wearing a tuxedo, if that helps give you an idea of what the boat is like. 

The bow is flattered at the front and features a massive nameplate which actually lights up at night. Some Russian billionaires are a bit sheepish about publicity and being seen but Nord wants to be seen and makes sure everyone notices it. Even the choice of paint, avoiding the typical white and going with champagne and deep blue accents plus blue lights, draws attention to every aspect of the yacht. 

Amenities and Features

The motor yacht Nord has a prominent helipad located at the bow of the vessel and a very large pool located aft above the beach club. There’s also a second helipad and even a helicopter hangar on board. The hangar closes over the second helipad which is located on the top deck and is built into the main mast of the vessel.

A total of 36 guests can be accommodated in 20 cabins while there is also room for a crew of 50 on board.  There are two elevators to help navigate the vessel’s six decks as well as some of the standard amenities you’d expect guests to be able to enjoy on a luxury yacht. These include:

• A fully equipped gym
• A beauty salon
• A tender garage which houses several tenders as well as a variety of toys and water vehicles
• A large beach club
• Massive dining hall and bar area

No pictures of the interior of the yacht have been made public so, as bold as the exterior looks, the interior details are still mostly under wraps.

The Bottom Line

Nord is owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov. The estimated cost of the vessel is a steep $500 million. The yacht is one of the largest in the world at 466 feet in length. It can reach speeds of 18 knots and has space for as many as 36 guests with a crew of 50.

Like many Russian-owned yachts, the Nord was almost seized in 2020 as a result of sanctions against Russian oligarchs as a result of the war in Ukraine. However, the vessel was able to elude authorities and was last seen in the Seychelles

The 141.6-metre Nord was designed with one idea in mind: she must cause strong emotions in every observer, not only through her sheer size, but with the design itself. Responsible for her stunning exterior and interior design is the Italian design studio Nuvolari-Lenard, who have given Nord her striking appearance with a bow design never before seen on a yacht. The 2021 delivered yacht Nord has implemented an exhaust after treatment system, which consists of the combination of a silencer with a selective catalytic reduction in the same casing, which can achieve a cleaning rate up to 97 % of nitrogen and additional reduction of acoustic noise – a Lürssen development.

Architects and Fashion Designers Are Penning Yachts, and It’s Changing How They’re Made

Mordashov—the largest shareholder in the steelmaker Severstal and the third-richest man in Russia —has been sanctioned by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The oligarch maintains he has had no involvement in Russian politics and has been fighting the sanctions since May.

However, like other sanctioned Russians, his assets continue to be seized by Western governments. In fact, Mordashov lost his 215-foot  superyacht ,  Lady M , back in March after it was confiscated by Italian police. In response, billionaires have started relocating their high-priced ships to safer waters.

South Africa initially seemed like a good option. President Cyril Ramaphosa previously said “South Africa has no legal obligation to abide by sanctions imposed by the US and EU.” However, the mayor of Cape Town opposed welcoming Nord , adding there may be protests from the port city’s large Ukrainian community.

The Maldives do not currently have extradition treaties with the US. However, the country is a member of the United Nations, which has vehemently denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Let’s see if Nord ends up dropping anchor.

Nord Star 42+ yacht tour: Inside Nord Star’s best ever offshore cruiser

• Top stories

Reporting from the 2023 Southampton Boat Show, MBY's Alex Smith takes us on a full tour of the Nord Star 42+...

The Nord Star 42+ generated quite a buzz at the 2023 Southampton Boat Show . The second-largest model in their lineup, this model impressed us with its versatility and customisation options.

The cockpit design can be tailored to the owner’s preference, with options for U-shaped or L-shaped seating. On the model showcased at the Southampton Boat Show, the U-shaped seating configuration was complemented by live bait wells on both sides, making this potentially a brilliant fishing boat .

Unlike most offshore pilothouse boats, the Nord Star 42+ is built with relatively narrow side decks. This maximizes the interior space in the saloon, but doesn’t sacrifice safety or functionality, as the boat retains its CE Category B rating, so you can be sure it’s seaworthy and safe for offshore adventures.

Stepping onto the foredeck, you’ll find a central island sunbed with an elevated circular hatch in the centre. This unique design allows ample natural light to filter down into the forward cabin, while still offering comfortable seating. The foredeck also features a proper Scandi-style step-through bow.

Moving inside, the helm station and saloon of the Nord Star 42+ impress with their layout and build quality. The helm seat, made by Grammer, is equipped with suspension and adjustable armrests, essential for long journeys, while the helm features a clean, well-organised dashboard with options for multiple displays.

The Nord Star 42+ is offered in two versions: Cruiser and Voyager. One of the distinguishing features of the Cruiser variant seen here is the inclusion of half doors, which open up the internal saloon to the external cockpit seamlessly. Additionally, the Cruiser model offers an expansive galley with modern appliances, enhancing its suitability for extended cruising .

The accommodation on board is both generous and adaptable. The owner’s cabin is symmetrical, with steps on both sides for easy access to the large double bed, and the circular skylight hatch above adds to the cabin’s charm. Moving aft, the second cabin offers impressive flexibility with two large single beds that can convert into a spacious double bed.

The head’s compartment, split into two sections with a dedicated shower room on the port side, reflects the focus on comfort, build quality and practicality that runs throughout the boat.

Propulsion options for the Nord Star 42+ include Volvo Penta D6 440s on stern drives or IPS drives, as well as IPS 600s and 650s. These options cater to a wide range of preferences and performance needs.

The 42+ is proof that Nord Star , with its rich heritage in boat manufacturing, continues to deliver innovative and highly customizable vessels that meet the diverse demands of today’s boaters.

Whether for offshore adventures, fishing trips, or extended cruising, the Nord Star 42+ offers a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile and comfortable boat.

Enjoy the tour…

VIDEO: Lurssen’s 142m megayacht NORD (Project Opus) floats out again

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Editorial Team   26 October 2020

More details about the 142m (466’) superyacht NORD have been revealed as the hotly anticipated motor yacht was floated from the shed at Lurssen's facilities in Lemwerder.

Still officially known as Project Opus, the name NORD was exclusively revealed by YachtCharterFleet last month and has since been verified by yacht spotters.

This is the third outing for NORD and it revealed some more of the amazing features that have had her name on the lips of the industry since she was announced as Project Redwood in 2015.

She has already been on her first round of sea trials and according to social media reports, delivery is expected later this week. 

With a nod towards the automobile industry, NORD is also the first yacht to have her nameplate on the tip of her bow, reminiscent of the number plate on a car’s grill.

The huge deck spaces of the 9,250GT yacht are clearly visible, and one of her double helipad decks can be seen on the bow of the yacht, with the other on the bridge deck. Elsewhere, on the main deck, a large pool accompanied by what looks like a small Jacuzzi just above the beach club is noticeable.

An expansive upper deck provides plenty of seating and a dining area, with another Jacuzzi and large sunbathing area one further deck up.

Evident again is the striking profile of the Nuvolari Lenard designed yacht, with her unusual blunt bow and curved black lines on the aft and prominent wing stations. Spread over six decks, her imposing stature on the water is further accentuated by a multi-toned superstructure.

With a nod towards the automobile industry, NORD is also the first yacht to have her nameplate on the tip of her bow, reminiscent of the number plate on a car’s grill.

This is the third outing for NORD and it revealed some more of the amazing features that have had her name on the lips of the industry.

NORD has a host of unique features, not least the double helipads that include a built-in hangar space that slides into the superstructure when not in use. Her large sports and diving centre on the lower deck and the oversized swimming pool on the main deck are also sure to be hugely popular. Built to PYC standards, she can accommodate up to 36 guests in 20 cabins.

There has been a buzz of excitement around the build since she was first announced as Project Redwood in 2015. Her bare hull was spotted on the move for the first time back in October 2018, before she then became known as Project Opus in 2019. Her first sea trials were captured on camera last month , ahead of her scheduled delivery before the end of this year.

NORD will be the third Lurssen yacht to be delivered in 2020 after the 140m (459’) motor yacht SCHEHERAZADE and 87m (285’) motor yacht AVANTAGE , and she will also make her way into the Top 10 of the World’s 100 longest yachts.

It is not yet known whether M/Y NORD will become a luxury motor yacht for charter .

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocketed potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to charter in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
