MAJORCA has welcomed yet another celebrity guest as Donald Trump's only superyacht has docked at the holiday hotspot.

The vessel not only gathers fame from its former owner but also because it starred in James Bond's Never Say Never Again.

Trump bought the $30million "Nabila" vessel from the Sultan of Brunei in 1988 before re-baptising it the "Trump Princess".

It was then sold in 1991 to Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who currently owns the now-named Kingdom 5-KR.

The 282-feet superyacht is said to be a piece of art as it even features its own helipad with a giant T on it.

Manufactured by Italian shipbuilder Benetti in 1980 for $100million, the Kingdom 5-KR is a symbol of old-school luxury.

It can accommodate up to 22 guests in exquisite suites plus up to 31 crew members.

The interiors feature opulent decor, with luxurious materials like marble and gold fittings, reflecting the extravagant taste of its various owners.

Guests aboard the Kingdom 5-KR can take a dip in their private swimming pool or relax in the Jaccuzi.

They can also unwind at the yacht's own private cinema or take the party up a notch at the boat's disco.

Those preferring a calm night in have plenty of option at the boat's well-stocked library for a good read.

The yacht is powered by diesel engines that provide a top speed of around 20 knots and a cruising range of several thousand nautical miles.

Over the years, the yacht has undergone several refits and upgrades to maintain its luxurious status and functionality.

Just days ago, Mark Zuckerberg docked his $300 million super yacht at Majorca and stunned fellow boat owners as it loomed over a luxury marina.

Exclusive clips gave a closer look of the Facebook billionaire's "birthday present" which has its own aircraft hangar and even a support boat.

The mega vessel, dubbed the Launchpad, reportedly docked last week at the Club de Mar in Palma, one of the island's most prestigious private marinas.

Also moored alongside the marina is the yacht's support vessel, Wingman, estimated in $30million.

It is the Meta boss's first visit to the hols hotspot as he tried to sneak his new boats into Palma in secrecy, Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.

A fellow boat owner shared exclusive footage with The Sun showing the 387-foot-long yacht's navy blue steel hull glistening under the Majorcan sun.

Another clip then shows the stunning boat with its luxury interiors lit up in the evening.

Boat owner Yannick, from Sail Trip Mallorca, is docked just a few boats down from the Launchpad and can't get over the "unreal" yacht.

He told The Sun: "It arrived on Thursday in silence, and over the last days we saw a lot of crew cleaning the outer hull and general maintenance. 

"We see lots of big superyachts but this one is of the level unreal.

"When you walk or drive past Mark’s yacht you have a view at the cruise boats and you wonder which one is bigger."

Yannick believes that the Facebook boss spends around $80,000 a day on his boat as its expected running cost can be around 10 per cent a year on the purchase price.
