Ice-Faring Luxury Yachts

The Opulent 'Ida Pfeiffer' Yacht Can Venture Into Arctic Waters

— May 1, 2018 — Autos
The 'Ida Pfeiffer' is one of the first luxury yachts to be more than capable of taking passengers and crew into waters of bone-chilling temperature, thanks to the fact that it comes with ice-class certification.

Created as part of a high-powered collaboration between Globe Regal Yachting, Gill Schmid Designs and Dorries Yachts, this magnificent diesel-electric yacht offers a range of 11,200 kilometers and is designed to be able to operate in fairly shallow waters. What's more, it also comes with its very own helipad.

Luxury yachts are all about opulence and going places that most people will never get to visit, and with its ice-class certification and ability to venture into near-freezing waters, the Ida Pfeiffer has marked itself out as a true ultra-luxury vessel.
Trend Themes
1. Ice-class Certification - The trend of luxury yachts seeking ice-class certification opens up opportunities for designers and manufacturers to create innovative vessels that can safely navigate icy waters.
2. Arctic Exploration - The trend of luxury yachts venturing into arctic waters presents opportunities for tourism companies and travel agencies to offer exclusive Arctic expeditions to adventurous travelers.
3. Diesel-electric Yachts - The trend of diesel-electric yachts offers opportunities for yacht builders and green technology companies to collaborate and create eco-friendly and efficient luxury vessels.
Industry Implications

2. Adventure Tourism - The adventure tourism industry can leverage the capability of luxury yachts to venture into arctic waters to offer unique and thrilling experiences to travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations.
3. Green Technology - The green technology industry can collaborate with yacht builders to develop innovative diesel-electric yachts that prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency, setting new standards in luxury yacht design and operation.
