The Azzam, owned by a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, is known for its opulent amenities, including a helipad, swimming pool, and a cinema. The yacht's top speed is reportedly over 30 knots, making it one of the fastest superyachts in the world.
The New Artwork
To commemorate the docking, a new artwork titled "The Arrival" will be unveiled. The piece, created by British artist James Hopkins, features a series of geometric patterns and vibrant colors. According to the artist, the artwork is inspired by the yacht's sleek design and the dynamic energy of London's skyline.
