Icebreaking mega yacht Legend in Öresund

The Class 1 ice-breaking ship Legend, built in 1973, has this year been converted into a charter yacht "capable of carrying 26 guests in total luxury".

The stern of the now 77.3 m long ship has been extended by 3.6 meters and is equipped with a swimming pool.

Legend also has a commercially certified helicopter landing pad and a submarine is stored in a garage on the forward deck. Among the other niceties on board one could mention a gym, a Balinese spa with sauna, Jacuzzi and beauty salon, a movie theatre and a medical suite.

This summer Legend is available for charters in northern Europe for  503.00 USD a week. (The helicopter and the submarine will come at an additional cost).
