Italian design studio Lazzarini has unveiled a stunning concept design for a giant cruise ship called Avanguardia. This 137-meter ship, which is designed like a giant strongman, will be built at a cost of 500 million dollars if an investor is found. The unique feature of this design is its control turret, which is designed in the shape of a “swan’s head” and can be separated from the main body. (Yanko Design)

The movable control turret can be detached from the neck of the Avanguardia ship and become an independent 16-meter auxiliary boat. In addition, when moving, this head of the whale can adjust its position by lowering in the center of the ship. The name Avanguardia, which means vanguard in Italian, was inspired by the location of this control tower.
Avangardia technical features
Avangardia cruise ship is designed in five decks and has the capacity to accommodate 60 passengers. In its back part, there is a dedicated berth for two jet capsules, which are also designed by Lazzarini Studio. These capsules can be attached to the main structure and provide auxiliary propulsion for the ship.
For the Avanguardia, two outboard electric motors are provided along with an MTU Rolls-Royce central motor, which allows it to move smoothly on the water at a cruising speed of 18 knots (about 33 km/h). “Pierpaolo Lazzarini”, the chief designer of this project, has announced that this conceptual plan is completely viable and only needs an investor who is willing to pay half a billion dollars for it.
