You can live on this superyacht in retirement
If you’ve got a large amount of cash burning a hole in your pocket, why not consider becoming a resident (not a passenger) of The World?
The 12-level superyacht contains 165 individual residences, each featuring huge picture windows looking out to a view that could be anything from an ice cap to a tropical island.
With studios all the way up to three bedroom apartments, this is luxury living at its best. Some of the residents choose to live on board permanently, though many choose to head back to dry land after a three to four month cruise.
So why should you consider living on board The World?
- It is the largest privately owned residential yacht, measuring 644 feet. Some say it is like living in a five star hotel with its theatre, tennis court, putting green, swimming pools, boutiques, library, spa and of course a gym.
- The residents collectively choose the route of the ship each year. There will often be stops at over 30 countries each time they circle the globe.
- You can see hard to reach places and diverse landscapes while also being able to sleep in your own bed every single night.
- It’s possible to dine out at fine restaurants on board, such as a steakhouse, sushi, Thai or seafood - but you can also cook in the comfort of your own fully equipped kitchen.
- With a maximum of 200 people on board it’s possible to feel like you have it all to yourself.
- The World spends twice as many days docked as it does at sea, so the residents have a great opportunity to explore the regions they are visiting without feeling rushed.
- Even boat lovers agree that they can indulge their passion for yachts, without any of the hassle of managing crews, packing supplies, or provision of maintenance to the vessel.
- With 55 being the average age on board, some refer to ship as the world’s greatest retirement village. So what are you waiting for?
