Very interesting ship! A private residential cruise ship (kind of like a floating condominium) with about 160 private residences onboard.

Started a few days ago in S'pore, and will end in Antarctica after stops in Africa, Europe, North America, Central and South America.

Only about 200 passengers.

I remember when it was launched, and I read a number of articles about it and the concept of buying a cabin and living aboard, constantly travelling the world.

I thought it was quite a good idea that would have suited me where I was in my life at that time. Unfortunately, I was a couple of million $s short of the purchase price and eventually ended up in Chalong instead!

I googled and only about 40 units were sold. The rest were rented for holiday travelers and the owners got

pissed. If I spent 2 mill, I wouldn't want it either. They purchased the remaining 120 units for 71 mill from the bank. Maint fee is 100k per year plus you pay for eats, drinks, etc... But if they don't sell the units and no tourists, the maint fee will go way up. How much to run a ship with 260 crew for a year divided by 40.
