Quintessence

1997

This is Quintessence

The 46.70-metre world cruiser Quintessence was equipped with an array of features to ensure that she could reach the furthest corners of the earth. Fitted with a special fuel treatment system to protect against bacterial contamination, Quintessence also brought to the fore another aspect crucial to world cruising: an interior that lends itself to long-term residence. Her rooms were circular, her walls had curved surfaces and even the doors and furniture were built on the round. This curved effect was especially displayed in the owner’s full-beam apartments, ensuring he would enjoy the longest voyages in total comfort.
