Lürssen Launches COSMOS – A 114m Icon of Futuristic Yachting
On 9 August 2025, Lürssen launched COSMOS, a 114-metre masterpiece redefining yachting norms. The Lürssen COSMOS yacht launch set the stage for an iconic 2025 in the yachting world. Designed inside and out by Marc Newson, she is poised to become an instant icon.
“This is a rather special project to coincide with our 150th anniversary,” says Peter Lürssen. “Some yachts leave an indelible mark on our history – COSMOS is undoubtedly one of them.”
Commissioned by a visionary owner seeking something truly unique, COSMOS embodies elegance and futuristic design. “Working with an immensely creative client allowed us to push boundaries,” says Newson. “Everything – from silhouette to smallest detail – is our design, enabling a joyful, organic evolution.”
Her most striking feature is the glass-domed owner’s study, complete with a sky terrace. Crafted through advanced glass engineering, its curved, crystal-clear panels provide uninterrupted 360-degree vistas. The glass motif continues on the cabin deck, where a continuous glass band surrounds the upper level. Forward lies a glass-encased observation lounge beneath the helipad; aft, a balcony with a glass balustrade overlooks the main deck.
The open aft deck blends comfort and utility, centred around a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, with a dry dock aft for launching her largest tender. Spanning six decks and reinforced to Ice Class 1D, COSMOS is built for long-range exploration in light ice, opening the world’s oceans and continents to her guests.
In a nod to innovation, she will host a methanol fuel cell research installation, converting methanol into hydrogen and then electricity – a complex step towards sustainable yachting.
