| THE
WORLD
A once
in a lifetime opportunity to travel in extreme luxury
|
|
In
recent years, affluent travelers have shown a greater
interest in “getting away from it all” and
seeking hideaways that afford them sanctuary. Private
villas, islands and jets have become commonplace among
discerning voyagers who increasingly see isolation as
the best form of relaxation. Those interested in a luxurious
yet secluded retreat at sea may do so by traveling aboard
The World, the first and only private, sea-faring residential
community. The ship is never crowded, given its average
occupancy of only 150-200 Residents and Guests, and
the intimate, personalized service and top-notch amenities
onboard are much like that of a private villa. |
| |
|
An international complement
of approximately 250 experienced seafarers and hospitality
staff are able to attend to each traveler’s needs
on an almost one-on-one basis, which is practically
unheard of on most passenger ships or in fine hotels.
The staff provides those on board with every amenity
and high-end service imaginable, yet still creating
a highly personalized experience for all. |
| |
|
The itinerary is always
a blend of sophisticated and cosmopolitan cities, private
islands and seldom visited small towns and villages. |
 |
The ship is devoid of
traditional onboard activities, announcements, group events
and entertainment. Instead, relaxation and exploration
take the lead with offerings such as a full-service spa
and off-shore excursions to experience ports of call that
can last for several hours or several days, depending
on individual preferences. An international complement
of long-standing crew, |
| |
|
including approximately
250 experienced seafarers and hospitality staff, from
40 countries, ensure that guests every need is catered
for.
The World is the only private residential community
at sea where its Residents may travel the globe without
ever leaving home. Since it first set sail in 2002,
The World has peacefully visited over 125 countries.
With a continuous worldwide itinerary that enables the
vessel to span the globe every two-three years, the
ship is a complete floating city, equipped with high-end
facilities and luxurious amenities that create an intimate,
refined atmosphere for Resident owners. Guests can enjoy
this residential community by arranging a stay in an
onboard home for a unique vacation experience. This
strikingly beautiful ship promises gracious and personal
service in a warm, inviting ambience much like that
of a private yacht, well-staffed private home or exclusive
country club. |
