A, designed by Philippe Starck, measures 119m long, and is powered by twin 6.035hp MAN RK280 Diesels, providing speeds up to 23 knots. At her top speed, she has a range of 4250nm. Her long foredeck houses a large glass fronted rectangular swimming pool, and her aft deck features a second massive pool. A third and fourth Jacuzzi are located aft on her bridge deck, and on her topdeck. There is even a Jacuzzi inside the main saloon. Designer Starck also designed the interior, which he described as as "the elegance of intelligence". She was built at the Blohm & Voss yard, builders of some of the world's largest yachts, such as  Savarona, Lady Moura, Palladium and Eclipse.
