Three times larger than Jeff Bezos’ superyacht, the residential megayacht Ulyssia will travel around the globe with the ultra-wealthy living in 132 luxury apartments. Onboard amenities include medical suites, wellness centers, a school, submarines, and of course, an XXL wine cellar.
Swiss company Ulyssia Residence AG, in partnership with acclaimed yacht designer Espen Øino, has unveiled a 1,050-foot solution to delight even those who believe the world can’t be improved. Introducing the Superyacht Ulyssia — a luxury vessel that surpasses even the mighty Titanic.
Featuring 132 residences, this floating marvel offers a unique view of the world and a lifestyle that only a fortunate few can afford and proudly call their own. More details were revealed at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, and this extravagant lifestyle will be available for purchase starting in September, with the vessel launch scheduled for 2029.
However, those behind Ulyssia prefer not to call it a cruise ship — because it isn’t one. It will be the world’s largest yacht designed for continuous travel, where yachting enthusiasts live onboard and map out their own itineraries. This floating community will bring together people united by a shared passion for exploration and discovery.
Life aboard Ulyssia won’t differ much from life in a beautiful home. The ship will feature 133 residences and 22 guest suites, with living spaces ranging from 1,184 to over 10,000 square feet. Residents can choose from one to six-bedroom configurations, with open-plan kitchens, reception rooms, and terraces. Each home will reflect its owner’s style, with interiors designed by FM Architettura and other renowned firms.
Wellness is a core part of life onboard. According to *Boat International*, Swiss-based Chenot will manage onboard health and wellness services, including a full-service spa, gym, sports centers, and dental care. A fully equipped medical unit will also be available, featuring advanced technology such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans, endoscopy, and ultrasound equipment.
As essential as health is, education won’t be overlooked. No matter where residents are watching the sunset from, Ulyssia ensures access to quality learning. Educational resources will include destination experts, lectures, and dedicated spaces for homeschooling children.
EYOS Expeditions will serve as the ship’s expedition partner. “Part of the concept is to have a diverse community, both in age and geography. We want families to be able to live onboard as well,” said Binder, one of the first residence buyers.
Alain Gruber, CEO of Ulyssia Residences, emphasized the uniqueness of this lifestyle. “Every resident has something in common. They want to travel, they are curious, adventurous. At the same time, they naturally form subgroups — there are foodies, divers, sailors, art collectors, readers, book club members. These subcommittees will emerge organically and create a strong sense of community.”
To support this onboard culture, Ulyssia will feature an exclusive wine cellar and a variety of restaurants rotating world-renowned and up-and-coming guest chefs. The ship also prioritizes fitness, offering a fully equipped yacht club and marina, golf club, 600-meter running track, indoor and outdoor padel and pickleball courts, and multipurpose sports areas.
A vast number of indoor and outdoor pools, a two-story theater, a library, and multiple conference rooms will ensure residents lack nothing. For thrill-seekers, two resident helicopters and Triton submersibles will be available for unforgettable adventures.
Ulyssia was designed to leave a minimal carbon footprint and is compact enough to explore iconic destinations, including the Amazon River, the Panama Canal, and even low bridges like the Sydney Harbour Bridge. As COO Renato W. Chizzola explained, “It can be the most luxurious hotel in the world, the most remote resort on the planet, or the most exclusive private club. It’s all of that.”
