Introducing NORN: A Pioneering 90m Superyacht by Lürssen

German shipbuilding titan, Lürssen, has once again pushed the boundaries of yacht design and engineering with its latest delivery, NORN. This remarkable 90-meter superyacht embarked on her maiden voyage on April 29, 2023, after a successful construction period under the watchful eye of Cornelsen & Partner as the Project Manager.

NORN, previously known as Project 1601, was commissioned by a seasoned owning couple who had enjoyed the luxury and performance of their 70-meter Lürssen yacht for over two decades. With their desire for unparalleled design, engineering, and comfort for their family, they turned to renowned yacht designer Espen Oeino for the exterior. Oeino delivered a masterpiece that features flat surfaces, straight lines, and angular corners, exuding a sense of geometrical precision that is evident in every aspect of the yacht.

The vessel's interior, designed by Dölker + Voges, complements the crispness of the exterior styling, reflecting the same design themes throughout. In line with the Lürssen tradition, NORN is outfitted with state-of-the-art technology and engineering systems. Among the standout features are zero-speed stabilizers, an outdoor cinema, and a liftable pool floor with dance floor illumination.

In addition, NORN is equipped with a dynamic positioning system that allows for electronic anchoring in sensitive and remote locations. This innovative feature safeguards the seabed while providing secure mooring, regardless of water depth.

As we witness the launch of this groundbreaking superyacht, we are reminded of the ever-evolving landscape of luxury yachting.

Lürssen’s 90m expedition yacht NORN delivered

By Steph Loseby   5 May 2023

Following her launch in February earlier this year, the highly secretive 90m (295 ft) superyacht NORN , formerly known as Project 1601, has been delivered by iconic German builder Lürssen  and has since left the facilities to embark on her maiden voyage. 

The specifications and amenities for superyacht NORN have been kept a closely guarded secret since her construction began in 2018. However, we know her distinct, geometrical exterior was helmed by Norwegian designer and naval architect Espen Oeino whilst her yet-to-be-revealed interiors are the works of Dölker+Voges Design and are expected to mirror the yacht’s exterior design.

The brief required a superyacht that excels in design and engineering whilst also catering to maximum comfort onboard. Described by the shipyard as a project with “striking design" and "extraordinary features”, superyacht NORN has a utilitarian character, with an oblique reverse bow, narrow rectangular windows, planar surfaces and angular corners. 

Built for a repeat owner, superyacht NORN is a replacement vessel for the iconic 70m (232ft) yacht SKAT , which was delivered in 2002. 

Sharing similar design cues, we can expect that brand new superyacht NORN may follow an alike minimalist interior approach with a variety of light, bright and airy social spaces onboard. There is also expected to be a signature panoramic sky lounge, an additional area onboard where guests can soak up the superyacht lifestyle.

The brief required a superyacht that excels in design and engineering to provide seagoing comfort for the family.

As a custom-built 3,600 GT explorer yacht , NORN is guaranteed to have a helipad, closing the bridge between land and sea for guests onboard. She also features zero-speed stabilizers, an exterior cinema and a liftable pool floor with dancefloor illumination to allow a unique and memorable cruising experience for her guests. Electronic anchoring in sensitive and remote areas is made easy thanks to the use of a dynamic positioning system, ensuring that the seabed is protected regardless of water depth.

Norn was one of two yachts launched by the German shipyard in February following the grand reveal of the 145m (475ft) Project Luminance , which is the eighth largest yacht to be built by Lürssen and has just successfully finished her sea trials  last week. 

With over 10 projects in-build currently, Lürssen is expected to deliver the 122m (400ft) superyacht PROJECT JAG later this year whilst the 114 (378ft) superyacht PROJECT COSMOS will be completed in 2024. 

It is not believed that superyacht NORN will be available to charter upon delivery. If you’re looking for a private yacht charter for your next vacation and you'd like to rent a superyacht of a similar calibre, you can view and compare all Lürssen superyachts for charter .

Known in the shipyard as Project 1601, Norn ’s interior by Dölker + Voges carries on the exterior motifs seen in the exterior, according to a press release. The Hamburg-based firm has also helped design other superyachts like Octopus, Pelorus, Eclipse , Aquijo , and the world’s largest superyacht, Azzam .

Norn ’s special features include zero-speed stabilizers for comfort at anchor, as well as an outside cinema. The pool has a lifting floor with special lighting that transforms it into a dance floor. As with most gigayachts now coming on the market, Norn has dynamic positioning that allows it into areas that are prohibited to most conventional yachts. The boat can hold its position electronically (no anchor or chains dragging along the sea bottom) so it can cruise in sensitive environmental areas or marine sanctuaries.

Norn ’s project manager was Cornelsen and Partner, which also oversaw the build of Project Celerius, a 388-footer by Abeking & Rasmussen that hit the water for the first time in December 2022.

Lürssen Delivered Superyacht NORN

The 90-metre NORN (previously project 1601) left the Lürssen shipyard and embarked on her maiden voyage.

NORN was built for an owning couple that previously sailed on a 70-metre Lürssen, which has served them faithfully for over 20 years. They required top-notch design and engineering as well as seagoing comfort for their family. For the exterior, they once again trusted the designer Espen Oeino, who gave the yacht a striking design with extraordinary features and which is dominated by flat surfaces, straight lines and angular corners.

The crispness of the exterior styling suggests a geometrical precision that permeates every facet of the yacht. Her interior was designed by Dölker + Voges and echoes the same design themes as her exterior. Cornelsen & Partner was acting as Project Manager in the Owners’ team throughout the construction process.

As with all Lürssens, the yacht is equipped with state-of-the art technology and engineering systems. For instance, zero speed stabilizers, an outside cinema and a liftable pool floor with dance floor illumination. A dynamic positioning system enables electronic anchoring in sensitive and remote areas, protecting the seabed and allowing for safe mooring regardless of water depth.

Lürssen delivers 90m Norn

• May 4, 2023

The 295ft superyacht designed by Espen Oeino has left the Lürssen shipyard and embarked on its maiden voyage.

Lürssen has delivered the 90m Norn , which recently left the shipyard and embarked on her maiden voyage. Formerly known as Project 1601 and launched in February (click for article) , the 295-footer has a beam of 14.7m (48ft 2in) and was built for a couple that previously owned a 70m Lürssen, which they had for over 20 years.

For the new yacht, the owners “required top-notch design and engineering as well as seagoing comfort for their family,” according to Lürssen. For the exterior, the owners once again worked with Espen Oeino, who created a striking design dominated by flat surfaces, straight lines and angular corners, along with a series of extraordinary features.

Lürssen stated that “the crispness of the exterior styling suggests a geometrical precision that permeates every facet of the yacht,” with the interior by Dölker + Voges echoing the same design themes as the exterior. Cornelsen & Partner acted as Project Manager for the owners’ team throughout the construction process.

As with all Lürssen yachts, Norn is equipped with state-of-the art technology and engineering systems including zero-speed stabilisers, an outside cinema, and a liftable pool floor with dance floor illumination. A dynamic positioning system enables electronic anchoring in sensitive and remote areas, protecting the seabed and allowing for safe mooring regardless of water depth. www.lurssen.com
