Princess X80

The all-new Princess X80 will be the second member of the X Class ‘Superfly’ family. She has a ‘super flybridge’ which offers over 30% more useful interior space on board than a traditional flybridge yacht of its length. Available with an optional master stateroom on the main deck with a privately owned sundeck, the X80’s adventure capabilities offer the opportunity to explore cruising areas further afield with the option of a large 8,800 liter tank.

The Princess X80 brings the outside in through the maximization of glazing that flows the entire length of the main deck and envelops the saloon, galley and forward dining area. The use of a light and innovative design continues below deck where 8 guests are accommodated in 4 en-suite staterooms, a main beam master stateroom amidships, a forward guest stateroom, a starboard double guest cabin and a port double cabin. Behind the main accommodation is the crew quarters which can accommodate 3 crew members with the standard layout. Life aboard the X80 is really different from other boats of its size.

The capabilities for adventure on the beautifully sculpted X80 provide the opportunity to explore and cruise further than ever before.

Princess X80

Following in the wake of the successful X95, the Princess X80 has been developed to offer a unique boating lifestyle that is tailored to how each owner wants to use their yacht, via an expansive options catalogue and non-standard options bespoke service. Due to take to the water in Autumn 2021, the X80 becomes the second member of the X Class ‘Superfly’ family. The X80 follows the X95’s open-living approach, defined by large distinctive spaces which flow into one another to offer the most versatile and accommodating experience, while keeping all Princess Yachts’ familiar characteristics of quality in craftmanship and materials, placing design and style at the forefront. Yet again, Princess is boldly re-writing the rules of yacht design by incorporating the concept of a ‘super flybridge’ featuring practical outdoor space, and versatile interior space.

Princess Yachts’ Superpowered X80

• By Victor Tan
• October 17, 2023

Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes, and with different powers, such as super speed and teleportation. While the Princess X80 can’t turn back time by reversing the planet’s rotation, it does have some superpowers of its own. The newest and second entry in the X Class is characterized by what the British builder calls a “super flybridge.” That, combined with a reported 31-knot top hop and an optional 2,324-gallon fuel tank, means the X80 can actually teleport its owner and guests to another world.

Atop the “super flybridge”—which Princess says has more than 30 percent more space compared with other flybridge yachts of this length—there are four gathering spaces. Aft, there are two stern-facing L-shaped settees with two coffee tables (the portside sofa can also face forward). Forward in the portside corner, there is another L-shaped settee accompanied by four free-standing chairs surrounding a dining table. A wet bar is to starboard.

Moving inside, there is a sofa to starboard and a single centerline helm seat forward, with companion seating to port. Forward on the flybridge, there are two sun pads that can hold three guests each.

The main deck is dedicated to socializing, with a forward-facing C-shaped settee and a folding teak dining table in the cockpit. In the salon, an L-shaped settee and a coffee table are to port. An additional, smaller sofa is to starboard, with a 55-inch TV abaft it.

The galley is forward and to starboard. Here, there are Miele appliances, including a four-burner cooktop, a microwave/convection oven and grill, a full-height fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher and an ice maker atop wood soles. An additional dining space can be found forward of the galley, along with an L-shaped settee and free-standing chairs. There is also a day head on the main deck, located to port and across from the galley.

Accommodations belowdecks are for eight guests in four en suite staterooms. The master stateroom is amidships and full-beam, with a vanity to port and a sofa to starboard. Its head and the closet are abaft a double berth, mitigating noise from the engine room. Forward of the master are a twin-berth guest stateroom to port, a double-berth  guest stateroom to starboard and a forepeak VIP. An optional main-deck master comes with a private sun deck.

The sister ship to the Princess X95 superyacht , the Princess X80 is the second member of the X Class ‚Superfly‘ family and encompasses beautifully sculptured surfaces with long flowing design lines.

From afar, she is clearly identifiable by her extended flybridge deck and enclosed wheelhouse, creating quite the impression on the water. The Princess X80 super flybridge provides in excess of 30% more useful interior space onboard than a traditional flybridge yacht, covering the full length of the vessel. With an optional main deck master stateroom which includes a private owner’s sundeck, there is a real sense of exclusivity and high levels of personalisation with this craft. The X80 has been optimised both above and below the deck, with economically-minded engineering and design creating not only a comfortable ride, but excellent seakeeping and impressive cruising distance. Adventure is at the forefront of this craft, providing the opportunity to discover more and explore cruising grounds further afield with the option of a long range 8,800 litre fuel tank.

The stature of the Princess X80 is impressive. Her increased bulwarks, topsides and enclosed wheelhouse define her proud personality. Her ‚S‘ shaped canopy flows seamlessly through her flybridge deck, creating balance and cleverly disguising the expansive volume of the sky lounge, with wrap-around views and flexible seating.

Her interior is just as captivating, with the outside welcomed in via the large windows which flow either side of the entire length of the main deck, encasing the saloon, galley and forward dining area. The use of natural and ambience lighting, innovative design and exquisite materials are combined here to create an idyllic space in which to while your time. Below deck, 8 guests are accommodated across 4 guest cabins, each with their own private en-suite. A full-beam master stateroom is located amidships, with the option to configure the main deck as above. Located aft of the main guest accommodation is the crew quarters which can accommodate 3 crew with the standard layout.

Life on board the Princess X80 is truly unlike anything else, or any other boat of its size on the market.

The Princess X80: Opportunity to Explore Further

Monday 6th November 2023

Experience a completely new concept in yacht naval architecture and design, including the Princess X80 superyacht.  The Princess ‘Super Flybridge’ yachts set a new benchmark for luxury living space afloat.  And for those wishing to spend extended time aboard and adventure further afield, these models offer the perfect luxury yachting experience.  The X Class features unprecedented space with a new standard of layout excellence and provides the freedom to adapt your yacht to your lifestyle.  Elegant exterior styling, exquisite craftsmanship, detailing and luxurious materials and fabrics remain true to the DNA of Princess.

The Princess X80 lifestyle

Following the immediate success of the Princess X95, this unique formula has been translated into a smaller package.  The striking X80 has a ‘super flybridge’ providing in excess of 30% more useful interior space onboard than a traditional flybridge yacht of its length.  The flow of expansive glazing along the entire length of the main deck brings the outside in, creating a sense of being at one with the ocean.  The main deck layout offers the flexibility to be more formal with sliding doors to the galley and an elegant electronic divider over the bar that transforms the galley from open and sociable to fully enclosed.  Travel forward to the unique dining area which offers 270° panoramic toughened glass windows.  Alternatively, you can option for a main deck owner’s stateroom which includes a private sundeck.  Like her sister-ship, the X80 also offers a breathtaking Sky Lounge that leads to an enclosed pilot house forward and to an open sociable flybridge deck with ample relaxed seating and an al fresco dining area aft.

The use of light, innovative design and craftsmanship continues below deck where up to 8 guests are accommodated across 4 ensuite cabins, a full-beam owner’s stateroom located amidships, a forward guest stateroom, a double and a twin cabin.

The Princess X80 superyacht (mini) is capable of adventures further afield with the option of a long range 8,800 litre tank and with MAN V12 1900mph engines, she can reach speeds up to 31 knots.

Princess Yachts X80

The first hull of the all-new Princess X80 is now in the water and was just featured at the recent shipyard event. Similar to the larger X95 Super Flybridge, the X80 has unique lines for a Princess as the upper and main decks stretch the length of the yacht. The "Super Flybridge" name is well-deserved as it features three separate socializing areas on the X-80: a forward flybridge seating area, an enclosed, climate-controlled bridge, and the aft flybridge lounge area. This change comes as more yacht owners have asked for more entertainment space on the flybridge since this is where the best views are and where guests tend to want to spend their time.

The X80 standard power are twin MAN V12 1900mhp engines that provide a stable, comfortable cruise in the mid-20 knot range with a top end speed of 31 knots.

Enjoy this thorough walk-through video of the latest Princess in the X-series model range.

From the Princess Shipyard: The beautifully sculpted surfaces and long flowing design lines of the X95 are carried through into her sister ship, the X80.

Yacht sinks after latest incident involving orcas in strait of Gibraltar

Vessel measuring 15 metres in length sank after encounter with the animals, Spain’s maritime rescue service reports

An unknown number of orcas have sunk a yacht after ramming it in Moroccan waters in the strait of Gibraltar, Spain’s maritime rescue service has said, in the latest in a series of similar incidents involving the animals.

The vessel, Alboran Cognac, which measured 15 metres (49ft) in length and carried two people, encountered the highly social apex predators, also known as killer whales, at 9am local time on Sunday.

The passengers reported feeling sudden blows to the hull and rudder before the boat started taking on water. After alerting the rescue services, a nearby oil tanker took them onboard and transported them to Gibraltar. The yacht was left adrift and eventually sank.

The incident is the latest example of recurring orca rammings around the Gibraltar strait that separates Europe from Africa and off the Atlantic coast of Portugal and north-western Spain. Experts believe them to involve a subpopulation of about 15 individuals given the designation “Gladis”.

According to the research group GT Atlantic Orca, which tracks populations of the Iberian orca sub-species, there have been nearly 700 interactions since orca attacks on ships in the region were first reported in May 2020.

Researchers are unsure about the causes for the behaviour, but theories include that it is a playful manifestation of the mammals’ curiosity, a social fad or the intentional targeting of what they perceive as competitors for their favourite prey, the local bluefin tuna.

Although known as killer whales, endangered orcas are part of the dolphin family. They can measure up to 8 metres in length and weigh up to 6 tonnes as adults.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
