[11] The New York Times reported that it appeared to be the sister ship of the 135.5 m (445 ft) Crescent, owned by Igor Sechin, a Russian oligarch and CEO of Rosneft.

The owner's deck has his-and-hers suites with separate bathrooms, walk-in closets, studies, and dressing rooms.

[6] The yacht sailed to Sochi, Russia, in summer 2020, then to Hurghada, Egypt in September 2020.

[13] While Scheherazade is undergoing a refit in Italy, it has also been under investigation by Italian and American authorities to determine if the superyacht's secretive owner is subject to sanctions being imposed on Russian oligarchs close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, due to the Russo-Ukrainian War.

[12] In May 2022 the ship left the shipyard and was ready to leave the port of Marina di Carrara.
