The World of Residensea

The World is home to the owners of 110 luxurious private residences who are free to "come home" at any scheduled port and be aboard for any period of time. The same flexibility is available to guests of The World's 88 beautifully appointed guest suites when they participate in an innovative program called Tailored Time™ Fares. Purchased for 30 to 300 days, Tailored Time Fares can be used at any time over a two-year period tailored to personal schedules. Guests may also reserve a suite for a pre-planned voyage according to their travel interests. Pre-planned voyages are all-inclusive: roundtrip economy air transportation, transfers, porterage, port charges, meals and beverages, including an extensive selection of fine wines and spirits.


Voyagers aboard The World have the opportunity to experience castles in Denmark, salsa lessons on the Mexican Riviera, world-renowned vineyards in Italy and France, the rare artisanship of the San Blas Islands and New Year’s Eve celebrations in Hawaii. Each year, residents of this international community enjoy approximately 250 days in port with extended stays for in-depth exploration and world-renowned special events, such as the star-studded Cannes Film Festival and Monaco’s thrilling Grand Prix.

The concept of traveling the world without leaving home was conceived and developed by Norwegian Knut U. Kloster, Jr., the former chairman of Royal Viking Line and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Kloster is also a member of the renowned shipping family that pioneered the modern cruise industry in the early 1960s.
