In short

Luna is a 114.2-metre explorer yacht that Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven delivered in 2010, with exterior design by Newcruise and interiors by Donald Starkey (Boat International). She is reported to have been commissioned by Roman Abramovich (Boat International, March 2026), and her long, low aft deck carries a pool that Boat International called the biggest ever seen on a superyacht at the time (Boat International). Diesel-electric propulsion and an ice-class steel hull give her a range of 9,500 nautical miles, and she has two certified helipads (Boat International). Listed for sale in June 2025 at €270 million, she was cut to €200 million in February 2026, a €70 million reduction that Boat International describes as one of the biggest price drops in yacht brokerage history (YachtBuyer, Boat International).
