How You Can Live on a Cruise Ship
Summary
The World of ResidenSea, launched in 2002, is a unique residential community aboard a 644-foot cruise ship. It offers amenities like restaurants and a spa, similar to a mid-size cruise liner.

Have you ever dreamed of living on a cruise ship, enjoying endless travel to exotic locations without a worry in the world? This dream can now become a reality with several options available.
1. The World of ResidenSea
This innovative community, set on a 644-foot cruise ship, resembles a floating condominium. Residents enjoy luxurious amenities, including restaurants, a spa, and a fitness center. Like land-based resorts, short-term rentals can be arranged, allowing you to explore numerous ports worldwide. However, some challenges have emerged:
- Disputes: Condo owners prefer extended stays in exciting ports, while tourists often want to visit new locations daily to maximize occupancy and minimize costs.
- Financial Concerns: Sales of condos have slowed due to fears of terrorism, financial market uncertainties, and doubts about the ship’s future. Maintaining a suite costs around $100,000 annually, while purchasing one ranges from $1.9 to $4 million.
Recently, an ad featured luxury cabins for rent starting at $600 a day, equating to $18,000 a month.
2. Investing in Cruise Ship Condos
Another approach involves joining an organization to purchase a used cruise ship and convert it into condos. Unfortunately, this idea has faced significant hurdles:
- Difficulty in attracting interest and securing commitments.
- Challenges in finding a reliable ship.
- Financial complexities before even acquiring a ship.
These obstacles have often led to the failure of such ventures.
3. Regular Cruises: A Practical Approach
Buying cruises on an ongoing basis appears to be the most feasible way to live permanently on a cruise ship. Here’s a cost breakdown for two people based on double occupancy:
- Basic Cruise Costs: $100 per day x 2 people = $6,000 per month. This includes gratuities, meals, and port fees.
- Independent Living Costs for Seniors: Typically around $2,000 per person per month, totaling $4,000. This covers food expenses.
For an additional $2,000 monthly, a couple can live on a cruise ship indefinitely. The benefits include:
- Superior Dining: Cruise ship meals often surpass those in independent living facilities.
- Variety of Experiences: Change cruise lines monthly?"consider a Caribbean cruise, followed by Alaska and European tours.
- Entertainment: Enjoy nightly shows.
- Social Opportunities: Meet new friends regularly as most cruises last about a week.
- Comprehensive Support: Access to cruise staff for any assistance needed.
Living on a cruise ship is a lavish lifestyle that two people can enjoy for an additional $24,000 annually.
