Living on a Cruise Ship - for 2.4 Million

New York, Dubai, Singapore? No, these luxury apartments are located on a cruise ship. Those with a lot of money can secure one and then spend decades at sea.

Living permanently on a cruise ship? It's not just possible with Ted Cruises, which converts ships into retirement homes, but as early as now. An American cruise line is selling apartments on a cruise ship. However, those interested need a considerable amount of money.

The approximately 719-feet long cruise ship is expected to embark on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean in April 2021, with stops in Italy, Greece, Spain, France, Portugal, Corsica, and Croatia. The ship can accommodate 525 guests, including the 100 apartment owners.

The cruise line Blue World Voyages is selling 40 luxury apartments. These are 850-square-foot apartments with one bedroom, starting at 2.4 million USD. The offering also includes a living area, bathroom, walk-in closet, and balconies.

For those wanting more space: The 1,200-square-foot, two-story apartments cost starting at 3.4 million USD. These have two bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet and bathroom, along with a living area and balconies.

Owners can cruise for 25 years as often as they like. They can also rent out the apartment, which might help cover the monthly maintenance fees. According to the luxury broker Compass Florida, these are between eight and ten percent of the purchase price.

The ship is also expected to have fitness and sports decks with a gym, boxing rings, a golf course, and soccer simulators, as well as a pool next to the cruise ship.
