Illusion is a superyacht built in 2013 at the Dutch Heesen Yachts shipyard.[1][2] The interior design of Illusion was done by Bannenberg & Rowell Design and the exterior work was done by Omega Architects.[3] It was launched as the Galactica Star with an original sale price of €65 million.[4]
The yacht was seized in 2017 as part of the US government Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative[5][6] from former Nigerian Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.[6] It was then sold at auction in 2019 to Burgess yachts representing an unknown buyer.[7] It was then renamed to the Illusion.
