The Real “Aurora Borealis” from The Woman in Cabin 10

Meet Savannah; The Superyacht That Stole the Show

If you’ve watched The Woman in Cabin 10 on Netflix and found yourself whispering “okay but what is that yacht?”, you’re not alone. The sleek silver beauty gliding through the mist called Aurora Borealis in the film is actually one of the most iconic and technologically advanced yachts ever built. Her real name is Savannah and she’s a Feadship masterpiece; the kind of yacht that turns naval engineers into poets.

I still remember the first time I saw her; that metallic green hull catching the light like liquid silk. She isn’t just a yacht; she’s a statement, a whisper of the future.

Behind the Name; Aurora Borealis vs Savannah

Let’s clear the fog. In the movie, the yacht is called Aurora Borealis. But in real life, the filmmakers used M/Y Savannah; a real 83.5-meter Feadship built in the Netherlands.

They didn’t just film on her, they filmed with her. Every reflection, every corridor, that jaw-dropping underwater lounge; it’s all real. No studio magic. The production team literally borrowed one of the most expensive, award-winning yachts in the world to film their thriller.

So when you’re watching that mysterious woman sip champagne under golden light, remember; that’s not a movie set. That’s Savannah.

Inside the Legend

Savannah isn’t just famous because of Hollywood. She’s famous because she changed how yachts are built.

Feadship called her “the world’s first hybrid superyacht.” She runs on a mix of diesel and electric power, gliding silently across the sea like a cat that knows she’s gorgeous. The hull alone was a technical revolution; sculpted for efficiency and grace. She saves around thirty percent more fuel than her peers, which in yacht terms is like wearing Louboutins that feel like sneakers.

Step inside and it’s pure design poetry. Curved glass walls wrapping around ocean views. A shimmering nine-metre pool that seems to spill into the horizon. My personal favorite; the Nemo Lounge, an underwater observation salon where you can literally sit below the surface and watch fish glide by. It’s like your private IMAX theatre for the sea. Even her color is unique. That silvery green hue shifts with the light, almost like the Northern Lights themselves; perhaps why the movie’s name fits so perfectly.

Why Savannah Became a Cultural Icon

Savannah didn’t just win “Motor Yacht of the Year.” She won hearts. She redefined what a superyacht could be; not just floating luxury, but intelligent, conscious, futuristic.

And then, of course, she went Hollywood. When The Woman in Cabin 10 started trending, everyone suddenly wanted to know; who owns her, can I book her, is she real? And yes, she’s very real. And yes, you can charter her if you know who to call.
