Viva is the design work of Azure and Feadship’s Studio De Voogt. A standout feature is the curved floor-to-ceiling windows on both upper decks, flooding the interior with as much natural light as possible. Designed by Peter Marino Architects, the interior is described as a beach house style by the builder, and features a sophisticated and efficient air conditioning system to further reduce the vessel’s overall power consumption.

In addition, a large battery bank on board offsets the power required from generators.

Viva’s hull sides have been finished in a special pearl-white finish for a glistening effect in the sunlight. The hull also hides the yacht’s 14-metre tender, the largest ever installed on any Feadship, as are the tender doors through which it is launched.
