Oftentimes, the worst thing about partying on a superyacht doesn't have to do with the yacht itself; instead, it's just getting to the yacht. Even if you fly first-class or private, the airplanes just suck, compared to the yacht. You can barely see anything out of the tiny windows, the space feels cramped, and worst of all there's no opportunity to disco dance.
To solve this problem, Lufthansa has introduced Explorer, their "new pioneering cabin design for long-haul aircraft," which is meant to deliver the superyacht experience--but in the sky. Digging deep, the designers cleverly realized that they could pack a lot more luxury into an Airbus A330, which has a 255-passenger capacity, if they designed the interior to carry just 8-12 passengers instead.
"In addition to classic room elements such as bedrooms, bathrooms, offices and conference areas…you have your own dedicated areas i.e. for mission briefings, dining, fitness or even a dance floor and SPA [sic] area. Furthermore, you can take all your special equipment with you. No matter if it is a car, offroad vehicle, wingsuite [sic], wine cellar, exploration laboratory or even an emergency medical room - or anything else you might dream off [sic]."
The ceiling projection system can provide a fake view of the sky, weird geometric patterns that signify luxury, out-of-scale distorted disco balls, whatever your heart desires.
