The Upper Saloon

The upper saloon provides a great space to watch a film, entertain or relax with views out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. An impressive bar topped with elegant Breccia Sarda marble provides the focal point.

The Owner's Office

The owner’s office contrasts a custom silk hand-tufted carpet with walls in masculine dark brown satin oak. The most prominent feature is the one-of-a-kind marquetry artwork commissioned by Winch Design depicting a celestial scene, adorned with mother-of-pearl, shell and gold leaf

The Master Bath

One of Aurora Borealis’s more challenging installations was the owner’s 800kg oval bathtub, which required steel plate reinforcements and additional angle bars underneath the floor. “The tub is almost 1,000kg with plumbing, so this had to be fitted before transporting it to the boat,” explains Amels’ project manager Tom Oomkens.

The Steam Room

The steam room is decorated with an Italian pietra dura mosaic and fibre-optic starlight ceiling.
