The new X90 continues Princess Yachts' tradition of "super flybridge" yachts. Close to the flagship X95, it is set to crown the class with even more comfort and better utilisation of space. The launch of the number one is scheduled for spring 2026, with the shipyard aiming for the world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026. A look at the S80.
Cockpit with folding balconies
The cockpit of the X90 marks the first noticeable difference to its sister models. More space on board has always been a key feature of the X-Class. But with the X90, the brand takes this concept to a new level.
A glass railing at the stern and, above all, folding bulwarks extend the area and provide all-round views - both standing and sitting on the sofas. A wet bar to starboard and an optional TV screen complete the programme.
Flowing transitions between inside and outside
Another first for Princess Yachts are the curved patio doors that connect the outdoor area with the main deck saloon. When they are open, the ten-person dining table is practically in the fresh air.
The large lounge is surrounded by lots of glass to flood the room with natural light. The galley can be open - with a breakfast bar - or closed. In both configurations, there is a side door to the port outer deck and access to the forward crew accommodation to ensure the privacy of owners and guests.
The owner's suite is located at the front of the main deck. An optional double door provides private access to the "owner's foredeck terrace" for an undisturbed morning coffee
Flexible flybridge
At the very top is the skylounge, typical of the X-Class, with the option of an 85-inch screen. A day toilet can also be located here. Sliding doors lead to the wheelhouse, where owners and guests can experience speeds of up to 28 knots with various engine options.
There are also various layout options for the aft deck, including a jacuzzi, a bar or simply an open area with loose furniture. A crane can also be installed here to utilise part of the area for a tender. The flybridge foredeck has two lounge sofas and a flexible coffee table. This transforms the seating areas into sun loungers.
Large cabins for guests and crew
Below deck, there are three double cabins with bathrooms as standard, with owners having the option of sharing the widest cabin. This creates a total of five guest cabins on board. The crew accommodation in the forward area comprises up to three cabins, a bathroom and a crew mess.
