5. Somnio has revealed a first look at renderings of its interiors ahead of its launch in 2024. The first, official interior renderings from the 222-metre superyacht Somnio have been unveiled. Owners of the 39 customisable apartments on board will have the chance to work with either Winch Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden or Luttenberger Design on an individual brief from purchase, which will offer owners the opportunity to decide the room configurations, materials, furniture, lighting and artwork, for a truly tailored solution. The luxury apartments are now available for purchase onboard Somnio, with prices starting from €9.5 million. The process is by invitation or referral only and owners will remain a tightly guarded secret. www.somniosuperyachts.com

7. The Fast Plane to The Tyrol As the first proper post-pandemic ski season beckons this winter – prompting huge excitement among skiers – a new premium air service linking London and Italy’s South Tyrol launches this December. The route, operated by start-up airline SkyAlps, will whisk passengers directly into one of Europe’s most challenging, varied and dramatic ski regions which, until now, has only been accessible via a two hour-long transfer from major airports such as Verona, Milan, Venice or Innsbruck. The new route, launching on 15 December, will offer return flights between London Gatwick and Bolzano in Northern Italy, operating every Wednesday and Saturday in December and in the first week of January. Flights will then be available on Wednesdays and Sundays for the rest of the winter season until 20 March. skyalps.com
