From an aerial view, the greatest innovation is seen in the deck design and in the aluminum superstructure. But that is not all. Overflying the vessel in a spiral descent, there is the flybridge, with an ample sunbathing area and a bubbly Jacuzzi. Of course, all our expectations are lived up to by the fiftieth member in the Perini Navi family. Again, the fiftieth time is the charm.
