The World of ResidenSea

Own a private luxury home ... at sea!

There are 110 luxury apartments on our ship The World, but that’s not all! There are four restaurants, two swimming pools and a gym. There are shops, but there aren't any factories or cars, so there's no city stress.

All our apartments have a large living room (with dining area) and two or three bedrooms. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and there's a cooker, a fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave in each well-equipped kitchen. Of course, there isn't a garden but each apartment has a private terrace. All the living rooms have modern TV. DVD and CD players. Choose from four different styles for your sofas, chairs, beds and other fumiture, and make your apartment on the ship a very comfortable home.
