In last night’s Succession Season 2 finale on HBO, the Roy family and their top Waystar-Royco aides spent time onboard Logan Roy’s luxurious Mediterranean yacht, ostensibly on a brief cruise vacation. However, the Mediterranean cruise was actually intended to give Logan (Brian Cox) the opportunity to take time off to decide who should take the fall to save Waystar-Royco’s tarnished reputation following the company’s mismanagement scandal, and a congressional hearing on the matter.
Logan finally decided that his troubled son Kendall (Jeremy Strong) would be the “blood sacrifice” to save the company.
But Kendall ended up double-crossing Logan during a press conference. Instead of taking the fall for the scandal, he betrayed Logan by revealing the details of his role in it.
If you saw last night’s season finale and wondered about the luxurious yacht that provided the setting for the episode, here is everything you need to know about it.

Solandge was the yacht used in the Succession Season 2 finale
The yacht used in last night’s episode of Succession was the famous 85.1-meter Lürssen motor yacht Solandge. Solandge is one of the world’s largest and most iconic luxurious motor superyachts available for charter.
The weekly summer and winter charter price for a Mediterranean cruise is listed as being from €1,000,000 (currently about $1,102, 642 plus expenses).
Solandge was first listed for sale in 2015 at an asking price of €179 million. It was finally sold in a deal brokered by the luxury yacht brokerage firm Moran Yacht & Ship in 2017. The deal, said to be the biggest yacht deal of the year in 2017, was reportedly worth €155,000,000.
Solandge was built by Lürssen in 2013. The luxurious granite, marble and wood interior of the yacht was jointly designed by Rodriguez Interiors and Dolker & Voges. The exterior was designed by Espen Øino ( Espen Oeino).
The yacht is able to sleep 12-16 guests in eight large staterooms. It is also able to accommodate a large gathering of overnight party guests in en-suite cabins. Facilities include a sauna, steam room, massage room, beauty salon, gym, sun deck, outdoor swimming pool, dance floor, bar, outdoor cinema, and nightclub.
The boat has a cruising speed of 15 knots and a top speed of 17 knots.
Solange won the Monaco Yacht Club’s La Belle Classe Superyachts award at the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show.
