Measuring 971 feet long (296 meters) and over 105,000 gross tons, the ocean liner Utopia will house 200 luxury residences ranging in size from 1,400 to 6,600 square feet (130 to 613 square meters).

Facilities will include a 204 room boutique luxury hotel, casino, spa, theater, night club, swimming pools, marina, signature restaurants and private residents club.

Passegers will be able to visit major cultural and sporting events such as the Cannes Film Festival, Monte Carlo Grand Prix, The Olympics, Carnaval, Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival, Melbourne Cup and other worldwide events of international acclaim.

Prices will range from $3.8 Million for a 1,400 sq ft condo to $24 Million for a 6,600 sq ft "estate". It's also reported there will be a single 40,000 sq ft home that will be priced at $160 Million.

Utopia’s historic order with Samsung and investment in the ship, including options and Utopia’s deliverables, is valued at over US$1.1 billion.

Samsung, the number one shipbuilder in the world for complex vessels, will draw upon a team of up to 400 engineers to construct the ocean liner. Samsung and Utopia are planning to complete the ship construction and delivery in 2013.
