Francesca Packer has sailed off on a luxurious European yacht trip with her boyfriend Robert Bates.

The billionaire heiress, 29, who is the daughter of investor Gretel Packer and financier Nick Barham, was reportedly spotted arriving at a port in Corfu, Greece.

On their romantic European summer voyage, Francesca and Robert have sailed to the Greek island from the Italian port of Napoli, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The couple are said to be travelling on Francesca’s mother Gretel’s superyacht, the Arctic P, which is valued at a staggering $119millionAUD ($80millionUSD).

The extravagant 87m German-built vessel was launched in 1969 and is available to charter for up to 12 guests and 25 crew members.

The former expedition yacht was bought by the Packer family in 1995 and has undergone multiple refittings since.

Francesca and Robert are said to be enjoying the vessel’s luxurious offerings while sailing and sightseeing around Europe.

The couple began dating in 2022 and confirmed their romance in December of that year after they were spotted kissing on the deck of a luxury yacht in Sydney Harbour.

Francesca is the daughter of Australian investor Gretel Packer and the granddaughter of the late media mogul Kerry Packer.
