The yacht features exterior styling by Nuvolari & Lenard and interior design by the same firm. Key features of Nord include a large swimming pool, two helicopter landing pads, a sports and diving center, and numerous tenders and water toys. It is designed to accommodate a large number of guests and crew.
The Nord's length is approximately 141.6 meters (464.6 feet), making it one of the largest yachts in the world. Details regarding its exact cost and interior specifications are not fully public, though it is understood to be a significant financial investment.
