With the construction of the Odyssey 108 scheduled for launch in 2029 and for the world debut in 2030, British Princess Yachts intends to strengthen its position as part of its transformation program
Princess Yachts worked on the Odyssey 108 in collaboration with Olesinski Design (naval architecture and exterior) and Harrison Eidsgaard (styling and interior).
The tri-deck architecture allowed the designers to increase the yacht’s internal volume up to 277 GT, while the availability of generous exterior aft terraces ensures comfortable al fresco time on board. In addition, the hull and the superstructure now feature more expansive glazing, which blurs the lines between the interior spaces and the surroundings seascapes.
One of the new project’s key features is the Hybrid Fast Displacement Hull, whose shape maximises lift and eliminates high-drag efficiency drop-offs. It has also been reported that the hull has undergone intensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and physical towing-tank testing to ensure it cuts through heavy waves smoothly.
The Odyssey 108 offers several propulsion options. If the owner goes for MAN engines, there are three options, the most powerful of which – twin MAN V12X engines of 2,200 hp each – will deliver a top speed of 19-21 knots and ensure a range of 2,600 nautical miles at a speed of 9 knots. As an alternative, the vessel can be equipped with twin Rolls-Royce MTU V12 2000 M96Z engines of 2,222 hp each.
The yacht can accommodate eight guests across four cabins, but there is also an option of a five-cabin layout or optional Pullman beds. There are three cabins for a crew of five, and there is also an optional configuration for a crew of seven.
“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,” said Princess Yachts CEO, Will Green, at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, where the new model made her official debut.
