She is not much different the status of picture #4 in the AIS link. But i posted some comments in thread 'newest cruises' well not about newest, but the newest refits in old girls, if i am allowed to do. Otherwise wait still others do in Aegean link, more pics.

    Picture removed due to copyrights!!!
  9. This seems already a real truth since yesterday. I personally prefered the short way 4-letters ORCA. I don't know why resembling changed. Flag & Register Port changed as well, from GER to CAYMAN ISLAND.

    Simply because ORCA was the Project Name. The yacht is nearing completion so the real name has been revealed.

    I guess that the name has been changed due to owner's main activity, and Palladium (metal) is what makes the owner one of the richest men giving him a good apportunity to start Project Orca

    Perhaps they never saw that the drawings came out of a paper shredder?

    Gold vs Platinum

    I'm not certain, but I think platinum is more expensive than gold, on an ounce-for-ounce basis.
