What if your superyacht didn’t just look good in the Mediterranean – but could also push into Arctic ice in total comfort? In this video, we step on board BLUE II, the 56-metre Turquoise expedition yacht with classic steamship looks and serious explorer capability. From her canoe stern and twin funnels to her spa, hammam and full gym, BLUE II is a floating boutique hotel designed to cruise anywhere on the planet.
We start with the key numbers: around 56 metres in length, a beam of about 9.5 metres, a volume of roughly 700 GT, and accommodation for up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, with room for 11 crew to keep everything running smoothly. Built in 2020 with a steel, Ice-Class 1B hull and aluminium superstructure, she combines a traditional profile with modern engineering, diesel-electric propulsion, long-range fuel tanks and stabilisers for comfort at sea and at anchor.
Then we go deck by deck. We walk through the cosy main saloon and cinema lounge, the wellness area with sauna, steam room and massage space, the well-equipped gym, and the guest cabins styled in a warm, classic-yet-contemporary look by Hoek Design. Outside, we explore the generous aft decks, tenders hidden below in the garage, wide side decks for expedition-style viewing, and the open sun areas for watching icebergs, fjords or sunset anchorages in the Med.
Along the way, we compare BLUE II to other expedition yachts in the 50–60m range, explain where she sits in the Turquoise Yachts fleet, and talk about why many owners now prefer this understated, working-ship aesthetic over giant white “wedding cake” yachts. Whether you’re obsessed with explorer superyachts, love detailed yacht tours, or just want to see how the ultra‑rich travel to both the Arctic and the Amalfi Coast, this in-depth look at BLUE II is for you.
