I’m sure it has a spectacular interior, but the exterior is rather angular and unattractive.
Yes it is ugly and looks like a battleship. That must be intentional. But why?
@@johnferrier2803
Wave breaker, it’s ocean going style very Parrot Beaked….
@@isabellevince5174 The owner (Charles Simonyi) previously owned a slightly smaller superyacht called SKAT. If you have a look at that, you will see that it was of very similar design!
I love the shipping containers welded to the sides 😂
Thanks for watching 👍The owner previously owned another superyacht called SKAT. If you look at SKAT, you will see that it is very similar in design!
Hope its better inside looking out.🤣🤣
Exactly!!!
This yacht looks like mix of a destroyer and a greenhouse 😅
It does seem to have drawn a mixed reaction in the comments!
Garden shed more like it. It is amazing how much time and effort goes in to making such pointless objects as these oversized prestige motor boats with little practical purpose. Especially as we are constantly lectured and harangued on the extreme urgent necessity of living such frugal and austere lives ourselves.
@@michaeld5888 In a field of haters, you at least make sense with your comment when you point out the hypocrisy of the ultra rich and the corporate media constantly lecturing us about global warming this and impending doom that all the while they keep getting richer and build things like this, while we get taxed to death and more and more poor. In that essence your comment is pure gold. I do like the lines of the ship however.
@@michaeld5888Seems like the “climate emergency” only affects poor people.
Paint a bigger number on her side and she could pass for a warship
Thanks for watching! Yes - I agree 👍
More like a cross between a warship and a ferry. Not a very successful design to say the least, especially considering the amount of money that has no doubt gone into it
What do you want for a design@@fb30xhk ? Another blobby running shoe? Show us your designs!
Someone has glued a greenhouse to the side of this yacht 😂
Came here to say the same. Bet she bounces Radar back as a small vessel if at all.
The conservatory either side looks like an afterthought.
It has certainly divided opinions on the comments!
Looks like it has two conservatories bolted to each side…..
It has drawn a mixed reaction in the comments!
Is it just a coincidence that more & more of these "superyachts" are beginning to look like warships?
Maybe that is the current trend...
And maybe because the money to buy them ….comes from the war, at least partially 🤔🧐
when you have that kind of obscene wealth then I'm sure you've made a few enemies over the years. ;)
LOOKS MORE LIKE A NAVAL SHIP THAN A YACHT NOW EXACTLY ATTRACTIVE AS FAR AS YACHT GO
It has certainly divided opinion in the comments!
Actually, I kinda liked the design. It's not like your typical yacht.
@@stevestruthers6180 Yes - the owner of this yacht previously owned another yacht called SKAT and if you have a look at SKAT you will see that it is very similar in design.
and to think someone really owns that thing... amazing!
And they still want more, greed can't be satisfied
Why is there a garden shed stuck to her side?
It has drawn a mixed reaction in the comments!
The added on verandas on the sides look like an afterthought!
It has certainly divided opinion in the comments!
looks like a mini Bismark.
That looks very much like a modern destroyer
Thanks for watching. Yes - it does look like a military ship!
Now THAT’S a megayacht. Stunning.
Thanks for watching 👍
And we've only seen the outside........lol.
@@davidriley1188 Very true!
Freaking WOW! Never have I seen anything quite like that. Love the chopper.
Thanks for watching 👍
Looks like two cheap PVC conservatories stuck on either side of it. It hasn’t got very nice clean lines.
It has certainly divided opinion in the comments!
Wow big boys toys. Now this looks amazing
This Yacht is owned by Charles Simonyi - He started and led Microsoft's applications group, where he built the first versions of Microsoft Office.
Beautiful 😀😀
Thanks for watching 👍
Looks like something James Bond’s nemesis would have.
Thanks for watching. Yes - I agree!
Nicely filmed.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment 👍
magnificent, love it 🤍
Thanks for watching 👍
owned by charles simonyi, it looks like a "military" vessel too.
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - I agree about it looking like a military vessel!
She looks like a battle cruiser!!
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - she does look like a navy ship. The owner previously owned another superyacht called SKAT and if you have a look at SKAT, it is very similar in appearance!
Love the glassed in veranda.... Espen... you outdid yourself with this one .!!! Epic design .......
Yes - she is a beautiful looking yacht
Great video, Nice Yacht
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment 👍
His previous and smaller yacht Skat was better looking, imho. This has taken those ideas and blown them out of proportion. It has the menacing feeling of a 'Transformer toy.
Yes - I think that NORN is about 19m longer.
Definitely looks like a war ship
It has certainly divided opinion in the comments!
If it's not used on the trans Atlantic route just where do you take a boat like this? It would be like using an F1 car to go into the City, for which you need a team of computer boffins just to start it up.
Thanks for watching. After leaving London, it sailed to Amsterdam and then Copenhagen. It departed from Copenhagen on 30th June but I don't know where it is sailing to at the moment.
Wow!
Love her design!
Good video, thanks!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment 👍
WOW! Amazing capture!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment 👍
Wonder who owns the barge 🎉
This is pure madness and i love it i cant stop looking at this monster of a yacht!
Thanks for watching 👍
This Yacht is Owned by Charles Simonyi - He started and led Microsoft's applications group, where he built the first versions of Microsoft Office.
Thanks for the info 👍
Super Cool Ships
Thanks for the kind comment 👍😀
Owner stayed true to the design of his former yacht, SKAT. Nice vessel. MS paid off, well deserved.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning!
Yes - agreed!
She's a beast! Not to my taste but hey, I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to sail on her, lol. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment 👍
"Not to my taste" have a day off ffs.
yes, its also not to your affordability. you could maybe buy the flagpole hanging of the stern
@@markettrader911 Thanks for watching 👍I am happy enough just watching the vessels sail on the river!!
Looks like a battle ship.
Yes - agreed.
Just seen it on the way out going past my place. Very nice ❤
Thanks for watching!
Now t h a t is a bespoke super Y ..!!!...btw fab shots of the bridge .., never saw this angle with sky skrapers in center BRAVO...!!!!!!......
Thanks for the kind comment! 👍
Advanced design, I like it
Thanks for watching! 👍
Amazing boat!
Yes - I agree! Thanks for watching 👍
The owners previously owned Skat check it out, this is the next generation of that boat
Yes - he does seem to like that design of superyacht!
Great footage!
Thanks 👍
Realy I like this superyacht
Thanks for watching!
It has the profile of a military vessel. Almost mean looking in some ways. Not my cup of tea but quite the design and feat of modern engineering nonetheless.
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - she has received some mixed reviews in the comments!
What a fantastic toy that is. Unbelievable how much money that represents. If I could borrow 1 million of that to invest I would be set and make many people much happier in life.
That is one awesome Superyacht ! Large in comparison to other yachts.
Yes - thanks for watching!
Beautiful, but can't help but wonder why I'm being taxed into oblivion to reduce my carbon footprint 🤔
looks like a battleship, but still very sexy and very well constructed!
Thanks for watching. Yes - it does look like a military ship!
Nice to see it has a coal shed on the side.
It has drawn a mixed reaction in the comments!
And a tomato & salad growing green houses. 😂😂
She’s a true beauty. It’s nice to see a large ship like this sailing up the Thames River.
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - it is the second large superyacht that we have had recently.
That greenhouse/solarium level looks straight out of an 80s Miami Vice episode.
Thanks for watching. She has certainly received some mixed reactions in the comments!
People who live in glass yachts shouldn't throw stones.
Are you sure that isnt a war ship.
It does seem to have drawn a mixed reaction in the comments!
" NORN" looks very naval / military style super yacht , very imposing look !!!
Yes - I agree 👍
Beautiful lines and very different from other superyachts. I agree with looking like a naval vessel, although would be beneficial sailing past somalia.
The owner obviously liked the design of Skatt.
Maby the guy just sold some tanks or rockets to Ukraine ?
@10.24 That is an epic shot...
Thanks for watching 👍
That is beyond crazy - what a thing.
The owner (Charles Simonyi) previously owned a slightly smaller superyacht called SKAT. If you have a look at that, you will see that it was of very similar design!
If Homer Simpson designed a super yacht 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - she seems to have split opinions in the comments!
Wow!!! Me encanta el diseño!
Sí, estoy de acuerdo
Looks like a DIY superstore
Thanks for watching 👍She has received some mixed reviews in the comments!
Excellent 😊
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment! 👍
Saw her today in London, really good looking yacht in my opinion but seems most do not agree... Well filmed as always!
Thanks 👍She is due away at 1pm on Friday. The next cruise ship up at HMS Belfast is National Geographic Explorer but she will only be there for just over 10 hours on Friday morning.
@@ThamesShips might have to try and catch that at some point along the river then thanks , a very unique visitor!
Great Video !!!
Thanks for watching 👍😀
amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching 👍
Indeed it's a beautugul yacht but NORD still is the most girgeous one !
Thanks for watching 👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching 👍
This thing is massive. Easily as big as a small naval frigate.
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - I agree though an even larger superyacht (KAOS) sailed up the Thames earlier in the year.
Very accomplished videography.
Thanks for watching 👍
That's beautiful
Yes - agreed 👍
it looks like Charlie is getting his mobile home transported to its new location
Yes - that is true!
What ia beautiful designed yacht I would call her ship what more can I say luck people that owns it he’s/ she worked hard to own it good luck to them
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - I agree!
Looks like something Darth Vader would want to own
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - a few people have mentioned that in the comments!
Very aggressive military design.
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - I agree!
Guns?
Confused. Is she’s just arriving why is going down river towards to sea? Was she moored or anchor before as certain she won’t find under London Bridge
She arrived from Kiel and sailed upriver through Tower Bridge. When through the bridge, she immediately turned around and spent about 20 minutes upriver of Tower Bridge before passing through Tower Bridge again in the downriver direction. She then moored at Georges Stairs (which is about 2 minutes downriver from Tower Bridge) and will stay there until Friday. As she is already pointing downriver, it will make her departure easier.
I can`t even imagine how much will cost the yearly maintenance of this enormous thing , lol...
Thanks for watching. Yes - I think it is above my price range!
It looks nice but doesn't need a conservatory on the sides
The owner of the yacht previously owned another yacht alled SKAT and if you look at SKAT, you will see that it is of a very similar design!
Great vid and another impressive superyacht in London. I believe she is due to leave 1pm on Thursday.
Thanks👍Yes - I think the luxury yacht MARAE is meant to be leaving from St Katharine Docks at the same time. She sailed up to London a short time after Norn but unfortuantely I did not have time to stay around and film her.
@Thames Ships marae is only a sailing boat though or have I got that wrong.
@@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV Yes - you are correct 😃There are also some other superyachts moored at West India Dock (though I think that Phi is still "arrested" and won't be moving any time soon. The PLA web site still shows a movement for Phi from July of last year which never happened!) I believe that there is also a Mexican sailing ship due up to London some time soon.
Looks like a navy craft.
Ys - I agree. The owner previously owned another superyacht called SKAT. If you look at SKAT, you will see that it is of a very similar appearance!
Impressive ship! Fascinating they still need a guy on front to watch a navigation.... thought it will have some cameras and sensors for such investment :)
Thanks for watching 👍
prob have to for regulations
Doesn't look luxurious but its probably very comfortable inside
Yes - agreed!
Nice boat @4.00.
battleship yacht , the first in its class
Very true!!
Design reminds me a bit of Skat, not surprising maybe.
Yes - the current owner of NORN previously owned SKAT. He must like that particular design!
Not sure about the “Extensions” . Or maybe they have left the builders huts on either side?…..
The owner previously had another superyacht called SKAT which was about 20m smaller in length. If you look up SKAT, you will see it is of very similar design!
Looks like a floating office building cafeteria.
Thanks for watching! Yes - it has certainly received some mixed opinions in the comments!
Did you by chance get your up river and down river comments reversed?? If she entered the Thames from Germany, then she was down river of the bridge and once past under the bridge, she was then up river. Yes or No ?
Bloody nice video either way 👍👍
Thanks for the kind comment. What I meant was when she entered the Thames from Germany she was sailing in the upriver direction. She then turned around and started sailing in a downriver direction. Sorry if it wasn't clear. 👍
Please explain. I see Tower Bridge lifting and I see Norn passing under it from West to East. Gjerkin is North and behind. It is not arriving. It is departing. Unless it came from Richmond.
The first few minutes of the video show NORN heading upriver (as is mentioned in the note at 0:06). At around 3:28, we see her passing HMS PRESIDENT which is also downriver of Tower Bridge and she is still heading upriver. After passing through Tower bridge heading in an upriver direction, she immediately turned around so that she was pointing downriver. She then sailed through Tower Bridge in the downriver direction. She then went to moor at Georges Stairs which is just downriver of Tower Bridge (as mentioned in the note at 11:46) and stayed at her London mooring (just downriver of Tower Bridge) for a few days until she departed.
If she had different colours she would definately look better
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - she seems to have split opinions in the comments!
From London Bridge I saw it docked aside HMS Belfast.
To be honest, I thought it was just another navy vessel
Thanks for watching
That is an Awesome Looking Yacht !!!
Thanks for watching 👍Yes - agreed!
How is it possible to built such a monster ? What is its use ??
The owner (Charles Simonyi) previously owned a slightly smaller superyacht called SKAT. If you have a look at that, you will see that it was of very similar design!
I am jealouse
Thanks for watching 👍
Apparently it is true that money doesn’t buy good taste.
It has certainly divided opinion in the comments!
Not much space for sunbading?
I don't think this poor thing can make up its mind what it is - yacht, Navy frigate, pleasure cruiser or pageant barge. Impressive but monstrous.
Thanks for watching 👍The owner previously owned another superyacht called SKAT. If you look at SKAT, you will see that it is very similar in design!
It looks like the Skat. Except for the bow..
Yes - I agree.
Nice CGI
What a fantastic video & although the yacht is not to my liking I too wouldn’t say no to a go on it. Can you answer a question please……do they have to pay a fee to get through Tower Bridge? Not that whoever owns this worries about them things!!🙈😂. Great video of her passing under Tower Bridge 👏🏻
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment! 👍 It is free for any boat to pass under Tower Bridge. I believe all you have to do is give them 24 hours notice. The boats take priority over the road traffic and famously, in May 1997, the then US president Bill Clinton had to wait about 20 minutes while a barge passed under the bridge!
@@ThamesShips thank you for that it’s really interesting 👏🏻👍🏻
@@vinerscott If you are interested, they publish their list of expected lift times here www.towerbridge.org.uk/lift-times
@@ThamesShips thank you 👏🏻👍🏻
It look like a destroyer when it's face straight to you....woooooooow
Yes - I agree!
