Odisea, the 78m superyacht by Lürssen Yachts, has officially departed Germany to embark on its maiden voyage, complete with a beach house on deck
Lürssen Yachts has unveiled its 78m superyacht Odisea to the world, with the vessel embarking on its maiden voyage from Germany on 13 March 2026. The brand, which recently celebrated its 150-year anniversary, joined forces with British design group RWD for the ship’s interior and exterior design work.
Combining exceptional lifestyle features with true go-anywhere capability, Odisea’s silhouette features a vertical bow and purposeful lines that balance clarity with sophistication. Expansive glazing dissolves traditional architectural boundaries, flooding the interior with natural light and extending sightlines uninterrupted to the horizon.
The interiors are bright and welcoming, with natural tones, soft woods and pale marble. There are curated artworks and layered finishes all across the yacht, which is a direct expression of RWD’s philosophy of considered, family-oriented living.

One of the most exciting features aboard the Odisea, however, is the beach house: a glass-encased lounge on the main deck that opens on three sides via three-metre sliding doors, connecting directly to the al fresco deck and its teak-lined pool.
Further amenities include a foredeck sports court adaptable for basketball, pickleball, yoga or pilates; and a sundeck that transforms from an open-air retreat to an enclosed skylounge, complete with Jacuzzi, bar, fire pit and dining for up to 20 guests. Dual outdoor cinemas, a wellness retreat and a dedicated water sports area with diving and fishing facilities complete the brief.
“The collaboration between RWD and Lürssen has been driven by mutual respect, the client’s vision and a shared ambition for excellence,” says RWD. “The result is a yacht that speaks to quiet confidence, considered design and truly elegant liveability.”

“Every yacht we build asks something new of us,” says Peter Lürssen. “Working with RWD on Odisea allowed us to push new boundaries in both engineering and arrangement. The result is a yacht designed entirely around modern life at sea. She is a proud addition to our fleet.”
Finally, as is standard for all modern Lürssens, Odisea has been fitted with a compact exhaust with a patented SCR system to reduce NOx emissions.
