Live, sail, and see luxurious life: In The World
If your dream is to spend your whole life on board of a cruise ship, look no further: The World, the first ever floating residential community, is the place for you. It’s the culmination of a private yacht with a luxury vacation home that takes you around the world.
Launched to water in 2002, The World – a 644-foot cruise ship – has been roaming the oceans. Instead of the usual cabins and suites, it has apartments for its residents – only 165 of them, in one, two, and three bedroom variants. But traveling the world and exploring new places is not the only thing residents of The World can do – the company’s “Enrichment Program” brings expert guides and lecturers on board in fields ranging from diving to wine tasting.
According to the press, a studio apartment on board The World will set its buyers back $1 million.

Want to travel but not commit to a year-long residence at sea? Choose a cruise on board the Seven Seas Explorer, designated the most luxurious cruise ship in the world. Rated 5.0 by the editor of CruiseCritic.com, the ship offers its patrons a gorgeous environment to spend their cruise in, with a special emphasis on fine dining and an intuitive service.
Launched in July 2016, the ship has nothing but suites, with balconies ranging from 55 to 994 square feet, topped off by the Regent Suite, a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom cabin. The experience of spending time on board is only improved by the exquisite dishes served, marble and granite finishes, hundreds of chandeliers, and over 2,000 works of art.

Luxury travel on rail
You can see the world by cruising its oceans or dashing through its clouds – but traveling the world by train is also magical. And there are quite a few exclusive options you can choose from to make your trip very memorable like the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from London to Venice, the Belmond Royal Scotsman to explore the Scottish Highlands, and The Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver or The Rocky Mountaineer from Banff to Vancouver to see the beauties of Canada that would otherwise be inaccessible. There are plenty of options if you wish to see Asia, like the Maharajas’ Express from Delhi to Mumbai, the Seven Stars in Kyushu, Japan, but you can take the Rovos Rail that takes you through Central and Eastern Africa, too.
