Measuring 137.5 meters in length and weighing approximately 5,000 tons, Project Neptune is a massive cruise ship, Interesting Engineering reported on June 26th. Such superyachts often fail to please environmentalists. Their enormous size means they consume a lot of fuel and produce large amounts of emissions. However, the new propulsion system will ensure Project Neptune avoids environmentalist opposition when operating at sea.

The yacht's exterior is constructed from traditional aluminum. There's an infinity pool at the stern and another for passengers on the upper deck. Notably, the yacht features two helipads. The first is located on the top deck, allowing passengers to disembark even when the yacht is at sea. The second, larger helipad is on the forward deck, presumably reserved for the yacht's owner.

Project Neptune features four suites with private balconies on the lower decks and six luxury suites, accommodating a total of 22 passengers. A crew of 50 will operate the vessel and attend to passenger needs, including a doctor and a nurse. There is also a room on board that can be used as a clinic when needed. Additionally, the vessel has space for accompanying equipment such as jet skis, kayaks, snorkeling boats, kitesurfing equipment, diving gear, and fishing equipment.

In addition to its luxurious design and numerous amenities, Project Neptune is unique in that it runs on hydrogen, emitting pure water instead of environmentally harmful substances. Marco Ferrari also equipped Project Neptune with glass panels combined with insulation to save energy supplied to the air conditioning system.
