Thunder comprises of a full displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure with teak decks. She also features zero-speed stabilisers for extra stability and comfort at anchor.

Amenities on board include a beach club, helicopter landing pad, elevator, massage room, movie theatre, swimming platform, swimming pool and tender garage. She also features underwater lights, air conditioning and barbequing facilities.

Lürssen has stated the interiors will be traditionally styled and are to be installed in the coming months.
