Name or Info?- Cruise ship that has been turned into apartments?

Question

I heard about a cruise ship that was converted into apartments with shops, hairdresser, etc on board. I heard it had its own zip code and that the HOA voted on all the ports they would visit in a year. Does anybody know the name of the ship or any other information that would help me look it up?

Answer 1

I know a ship where you actually purchase the stateroom, they are not apartments.  Its call the Freedomship.  Here is the web site  http://www.freedomship.com/   Take care KG

Answer 3

ResidenSea does have a ship named The World which has a variety of apts/condos on board which you can purchase.  The residents on board who own these have a "condo association" and make decisions about where the ship will visit,

improvements to the ship, etc.  The "association" recently purchased the ship from the company so that they would have complete control of the decision making for the ship.

Ownership opportunities for Studios and Studio Apartments  to Apartments onboard The World begin at USD$800,000 for Studios, USD$1,450,000 for one bedroom apartments, USD$2,100,000 for two bedroom apartments and USD$3,575,000 for three bedroom apartments.

Hope this info helps.  If you'd like to pursue purchase of a home onboard The World, please contact me at [e-mail] and I can put you in touch with someone who can help you.

Answer 4

There is a company called ResidenSea that runs the Ship call The World.

The Freedom Ship is still in design & concept stage. Nothing confirmed as to when it will be built. The World is currently sailing & yes the Owners/passengers do decide on the ports that they visit.

Answer 5

The ship is called the Freedonship and it is just like buying a condo, except you buy the stateroom. Web site http://www.freedomship.com/
