-

Arecord-breaking superyacht the size of St Paul’s Cathedral has been built in Holland. The luxury liner comes complete with a swimming pool, beach club and aquarium. At 360-feet (110 metres) long, the Jubilee is the largest yacht ever to built in the Netherland­s - and is in the Top 100 of the largest superyacht­s in the world.

The Jubilee has six decks and can accommodat­e up to 30 guests in 15 staterooms.

The plush liner also features an exclusive suite for the yacht’s owner and a helicopter landing pad.

It will be put through its paces in trials in the North Sea over the coming weeks and is set to sail over the Mediterran­ean this summer.

The superyacht was built in a specially-made 460ft (140m) long enclosed dry dock.

The state-of-the-art 100ft tall six level building in Alblasserd­am, near Rotterdam, is made of concrete and is impervious to outside weather and ground water temperatur­es.

A spokesman for Dutch yacht manufactur­er Oceanco said: ‘Jubilee is truly a vessel in a class of her own with a unique and architectu­rally challengin­g design which creates a visual effect of multi-level decks never seen before.

‘She represents a number of firsts in yachting and is a visual and technologi­cal tour de force.’
