One Yacht, infinite destinations. Imagine a life where the horizon shifts, but your sense of belonging never does. There is a rare kind of freedom in owning a private Residence that moves as you do, one that takes you to approximately 100 ports across the planet every year and is still completely familiar. Aboard The World – the only private residential Ship of its kind in operation today – you never choose between discovery and comfort. As the Owner of one of just 165 private custom Residences, you have ample time and opportunity to craft your own kind of Community, among an intimate circle of global explorers from 20 different countries. Ours is a Ship that is committed to sustainability and has earned the DNV’s Statement of Extended Life, a testament to our exceedingly high expectations. Every adventure is curated, every detail is tailored, every day is effortless. And regardless of how far you journey, you are always seamlessly, exquisitely, unmistakably, at Home.
Travel the world without leaving Home . ®
The World has earned a reputation as the most extraordinary address on Earth. To own a Residence on board is to own something truly singular: a Home that takes you to every corner of the planet. Whether you own an Ocean Studio, a One-Bedroom Studio, a Two-Bedroom, or a Three-Bedroom Residence, every detail can be customized to your personal tastes and preferences. You are surrounded by every comfort and personal touch – your furniture, personal art, wardrobe – even your wine collection. There are no bags to pack and unpack, no comforts to miss. Everything you could YOUR HOME
want and need is here at Home with you. Always at hand are the incomparable Staff of The World, knowing and fulfilling your every preference. Cross your threshold and you enter more than your Home: This is your sanctuary, your gathering space, your front-row seat to the ever-changing view beyond your veranda. And with that, you possess the rarest luxury of all: the privilege of calling virtually anywhere on Earth your home.

YOUR COMMUNITY
A Community, connected by The World.
Alfresco Dining
A global journey is even more meaningful when experienced with those who share your sense of possibility and purpose. Aboard The World, you are more than a Resident, and you own far more than a Home. You are part of a rare collective – one of a close-knit, internationally diverse group of people who not only travel together but who help shape the very fabric of life on board. Through a network of collaborative Resident-led committees, you’ll have a voice in every aspect of Ship life, from voting on yearly Journeys and influencing onboard programming to Ship enhancements during planned Dry-docks. On land, you’ll have opportunities to make a local impact and give back to communities across the many ports of call we visit annually. It is the Residents who transform the Ship into a Community that resonates with their shared aspirations and commitment to purposeful living.
