Princess V78

Princess V78

With a bold exterior concealing a spacious interior, the all-new Princess V78 is the flagship of our V Class range. Central access from the hydraulic bathing platform leads you between twin sunbeds to a configurable cockpit then onwards to her well-equipped galley, dining area and saloon. Her foredeck features innovative seating with sunpads which can be converted to create additional aft facing seats. Her cavernous main deck saloon opens up through an electric roof above, or seamlessly to the outside through full length side windows. Below deck, eight guests enjoy four large en suite cabins, all bathed in natural light from her contemporary hull windows and a further twin cabin aft for occasional guests or crew. With twin MAN V12 engines taking you up to 39 knots, she is power performing with elegance in our finest V Class experience.
