International Cruises >> ResidenSea RESIDENSEA ResidenSea is a management company that operates a special ship, The World. She has many facilities similar to a normal cruise ship, but it is the first residential community at sea. Residents own the apartments, and live onboard to travel around the globe. There are usually approximately 250 days for the ship to be in port every year. In many ports, multiple-day calls are planned. This allows residents to circumnavigate the world without leaving "home". |
