THE ONLY ADDRESS THAT SPANS SEVEN CONTINENTS Imagine life aboard The World. What opportunities might this extraordinary lifestyle offer me?

Here, your Home isn’t anchored to one place – it carries you effortlessly across the globe. Along the way, you’ll join a Community of adventure seekers from approximately 20 countries who share your passion for discovery and a welcoming lifestyle, enjoyed with multigenerational families and friends.

The World offers a truly unmatched experience – the assurance of a proven ownership model, the confidence of sound financial stewardship, and flawless anticipatory service perfected over decades at sea. Unlike the complexity, cost, and logistics of private yacht ownership, every detail here has already been expertly managed for you, leaving only the joy of the journey.

What follows is more than just information. It’s an introduction to a lifestyle unlike any other – one that is not only possible, but ready for you now.

EVERY DETAIL, MASTERFULLY CURATED

Why coordinate private travel, yacht operations, and bespoke experiences yourself when The World weaves them into a single, seamless way of living?

Crew, maintenance, provisioning, itineraries, enrichment – every detail is thoughtfully managed behind the scenes. The result is a lifestyle designed to be effortless and extraordinary.

LUXURY LIVING, REDEFINED AT SEA Owning a Residence aboard The World combines the confidence of a luxury apartment or condominium with the benefits of a private country club at sea. Beyond the initial purchase and initiation fee, annual ownership costs cover every aspect of life aboard: Crew who know you by name, impeccable maintenance, world-class dining and amenities, an award-winning wine program, a state-of-the-art spa and wellness center, and a personal concierge service that makes global travel easy.

BEYOND PRIVATE YACHTS Many Residents have considered or owned private yachts. The investment is substantially higher, the annual operating costs are steep, and every detail – from staffing to docking – falls solely on the owner’s shoulders. The World provides an alternative: all the prestige and freedom of the yachting lifestyle without the complications.

Staffing, itinerary planning, logistics, dockage, and minimal customs and immigration delays are all managed smoothly, while personalized service remains uncompromised.

THE BENEFITS OF A PRIVATE GLOBAL ADDRESS DINING WITHOUT LIMITS

Dining aboard The World transforms each destination into a personal culinary experience. Master chefs and six unique dining venues draw from local markets, while the Call-a-Chef Program brings bespoke meals into your Residence.

The award-winning wine list – with more than 1,100 vintages and 15,000 bottles – and innovative mixology inspired by each port ensures that every meal reflects both the Journey and your personal taste. Dining is global in scale, yet entirely yours.

PRIVATELY OWNED. EXPERTLY MANAGED. The World is operated in accordance with the terms of its Residence Agreement and is professionally managed by ROW Management, Ltd. (ROW), which is owned indirectly by the Residents themselves through The World Resident Holdings, Ltd. (TWRH). Residents are the sole members (shareholders) of TWRH, the parent company of both the Ship Owner, The World of ResidenSea II, Ltd., and the Ship Manager, ROW Management, Ltd. This unique ownership structure ensures that every decision aligns fully with the Community’s priorities. A skilled, multinational Crew brings expertise, discretion, and passion to every aspect of Replicating The World’s experiences through luxury hotels and transportation, yacht club memberships, private guides, and fine dining would easily exceed $500,000 on a semi-annual basis. Here, it is all united into one extraordinary Home – designed for those who choose to live well while traveling the globe.

FLEXIBLE OWNERSHIP, FULL PRIVILEGES Full ownership is ideal, with select 50% Partnership opportunities offering flexibility for those who split time between multiple homes.

life on board, upholding safety, comfort, and the sense of belonging that makes the Ship feel like home.

TRAVEL THE WORLD FROM YOUR OWN HOME While it is possible to sail only a few weeks a year, fully embracing this lifestyle typically means traveling three to four months annually, with a few Residents living aboard year-round. Your Residence is your Home, furnished with your personal belongings, artwork, and comforts, creating a sense of belonging and familiarity even as the Ship continually circumnavigates the globe. The question isn’t whether The World can fit into your life – it’s what this extraordinary way of living could mean for you. Will you make the Journey?

LIFE ABOARD, AN EXPERIENCE UNVEILED

Each Residence is equipped for modern living, with high-speed satellite internet from providers like Starlink.

Purchasing a Residence begins with signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement, followed by full documentation for review. Once an offer is accepted, a 10% deposit is held in escrow until closing, at which point a transfer fee and all applicable closing costs are due. On average, resales are on the market six to nine months.

Residences are acquired exclusively through cash transactions. Financing is not provided and Residency Rights may not serve as collateral.

accordance with the Ship’s established standards and regulations.

Residences may be purchased individually or through trusts, partnerships, corporations, or LLCs, subject to legal approval. Each acquisition is governed by four primary documents: the Apartment Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Residence Agreement assignment, the Residency Rights assignment, and the Shares of Stock assignment – all of which may be reviewed with your legal counsel.

Residency aboard The World is intentionally selective. Prospective Residents are required to meet net worth and income criteria, provide references, pass background checks, and receive two letters of recommendation from current Residents. This process builds a Community of accomplished individuals who share not only a lifestyle but a foundation of financial stability and responsibility.

To finalize ownership, a security deposit of 12.5% of the annual maintenance cost is held in an interest-bearing account. Closing costs include the initiation fee, annual ownership costs, and a transfer fee. Interest accrued on the security deposit is returned as a credit toward your quarterly maintenance account.

Ownership brings the reassurance of financial strength. The Ship is owned free of debt, with structures designed to minimize Resident liability. Annual costs include insurance covering the Ship, each Residence, and emergency medical evacuation; additional coverage can be arranged through partner programs.

Residency aboard The World does not confer tax or visa advantages, nor does it serve as a permanent address. Each Resident chooses their own level of engagement – some spend just a few weeks or up to three or four months on board, while a select few live aboard year-round.

EXPERIENCE A LIFESTYLE WITHOUT COMPROMISE Ownership costs are structured to ensure The World operates at the highest level of safety, service, and comfort – while protecting the long-term value of your Residence. These costs are proposed annually, approved by the Board of Directors, and adjusted only to reflect the needs and standards of the Community. The Board of Directors comprises seven members elected by the Residents. Each member is entitled to one vote per share for the election of Directors or any other matter coming before the board members.

What the costs cover: General Maintenance – Day-to-day operations, port fees for approximately 100

Family & Friends are always welcome, whether staying with you in your Residence or in a separate Guest accommodation. Guest policies are in place to ensure comfort and compliance with the Ship’s occupancy standards.

While The World is primarily adult-focused, children are welcome aboard.

The minimum age is 6 months old (1 year old during expeditions), and during holiday and summer periods, youth coordinators lead activities through the Quest kids and teens program.

EXCELLENCE PERFECTED AT SEA Residents help shape The World’s Journeys, voting on proposed routes up to three years in advance. Each Residence carries voting units and TWRH shares proportionate to its square footage – e.g., a 1,391-square-foot Home corresponds to 1,391 voting units. The Itinerary Committee and Management then refine the schedule, aligning Resident preferences with global festivals, curated Destination Experiences, and operational considerations.

The fee is calculated based on the number of bedrooms allocated to the applicable Apartment type, regardless of the Residence’s current configuration, floor plan, or any subsequent modifications.

The Ship operates under strict adherence to Bahamian flag state and International Maritime Organization regulations, with regular inspections and technical oversight.

Future upgrades will ensure compliance with carbon reduction and emission standards, meeting sustainability requirements without interrupting operations.

Food & Beverage – World-class dining across restaurants, bars, In-Residence Dining, and groceries, supported by both a minimum credit and fixed operations fee. Allocation is based on the number of Beneficial Owners.

Built-in Reinvestment – A portion of annual costs contributes to capital reserves and funding major Dry-dock renovations every three years to ensure the Ship remains unmatched in quality and value.

WELCOMING PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS AND LOVED ONES The World offers limited, invitation-only Prospective Resident Voyages – an exclusive opportunity for qualified buyers to experience life aboard firsthand.

This program is not intended to generate rental income but to provide an intimate introduction to the extraordinary lifestyle of The World.
