The discotheque boasts strobe lighting, a circular waxed teak dance floor, a large cocktail bar with illuminated onyx counter top and comfortable seating for when exhausted revellers need a rest. Outside on the aftdeck, ample casual seating surrounds a large alfresco dining table.

The circular 'Beach House' is the most casual room on board and has a relaxed, Balinese feel. There is a skylight in the centre of the ceiling, created by the glassbottomed Jacuzzi on the sun deck above. Below the skylight, a splash of bright colour is added to the palette by way of glass jellyfish artworks.

The eclectic art collection ranges from an ancient Indian sculpture to Brazilian bark bowls and African tribal shields. The colours are cosy and welcoming, and the atmosphere is designed to encourage guests to relax in comfort on the chic curved sofas spread around the room.

The forward area is reserved for the bridge and the captain's cabin and office. The bridge is laid out with its navigation centre placed centrally and set back from the main console, flanked by two semi-circular guest sofas. Less important equipment is hidden behind hinged lids set into the fascia, while the main custom-built, control panel features extensive navigation, control and monitoring systems.

Four guest cabins are located on the lower deck. Identically laid out, each cabin is made unique by the use of different marbles and fabrics. All feature mahogany joinery, sumptuous fabrics, leather-clad wardrobe doors and honey-onyx in the bathrooms.

The crew mess has been placed amidships, just forward of the engine room where the yacht's motion is less severe. With space for 20 around three tables at any one time, as well as providing a similarly sized lounge with a large plasma television, a computer desk and a crew pantry, the mess area is huge. The eight twin-bunked crew cabins located on the lower deck are also generously oversized.

Two tenders of 7.6m (25ft) can be launched to both sides using a beam crane, through 8.5m (26ft 6in) wide, upwardopening doors in the hull. Close by is the diving store and direct access to the bathing platform. A rescue boat is housed on the foredeck under a hydraulically opened hatch.

Built for long range cruising in opulent luxury, Kismet sets new standards for the luxury charter industry, as well as providing a comfortable home away from home for her owners. More than just the distillation of Lürssen's 132 years of shipbuilding expertise, and the passion and flair of her architects and designers, Kismet is the ultimate manifestation of her owners' destiny. Gaze up from the king-sized 'star bed' on Kismet's top deck for long enough and you may just see her name written in the stars.
