According to Norwegian Yacht Voyages, M/Y Caroline will be both the world’s first true hybrid expedition mega-yacht and, at 187.50 m long, the world’s largest.

Deltamarin has an excellent track record of designing highly energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly passenger vessels, so we are very excited to join this project,” says Deltamarin’s Sales Manager Jaakko Lappi.
