Ever dreamed of traveling the globe

from the comfort of your own home?

On The World, a one-of-a-kind

residential ship of 165 privately owned

apartments you’ll enjoy a luxurious travel

lifestyle to the most fascinating destinations on

the planet. Imagine walking out your front door

to a carousel of breathtaking views; a different

port of call every few days. One day you’re in

French Polynesia watching a volcano erupt

from your living room window or enjoying New

Year’s Eve fireworks over the Sydney Opera

House, or maybe watching Grand Prix cars

race by in Monaco, while hosting a

champagne brunch on your own private

veranda for family that’s come to stay with you.

Together, the 130 families who collectively

own the ship sail continuously around the

globe. Every night, no matter where they are in

the world, Residents return home to their

bespoke apartments to relax from the day’s

adventures and sleep in their own bed. There is

no need to pack or unpack because you’re

already home.

The World is a private community offering a

combination of luxury travel with world-class

amenities. Dining runs the gamut from

hamburgers to sushi to the haute cuisine

prepared by chefs that rivals the world’s finest.

There’s even an impressive 12,000-bottle wine

cellar. Those seeking a

personalised dining option

can have a chef prepare

a delicious meal in the

privacy of their Residence

– for a romantic dinner,

special celebration or get-

together with friends. The

culinary team often

ventures ashore to

farmer’s markets in search of regional

ingredients that offer distinctive flavours for

destination-inspired menus.

Luxury, like beauty, is in the eye of the

beholder. On this ship, luxury can mean

sleeping under the stars on private Bali beds,

joining the resident golf pro on shoreside

excursions to renowned courses like Kauri Cliffs

in New Zealand, or challenging your neighbour

to a match on the only full-size tennis court at

sea, which doubles as a cricket field (warning:

Polar bears may be watching from an ice floe

nearby). Other services include a swimming

pool, Fitness Center with full-time personal

trainer, The World Spa &

Wellness Center, library,

cinema, boutique, and

guest lecturers. Together,

these amenities ‘bring the

destination alive.’

The World has visited

more than 900 ports in 130

countries. Its 2014 journey

includes extensive

exploration throughout Asia with destination

experiences planned in every port by The

World Concierge. For those seeking adventure

off board, overland journeys like ‘The

Maharajahs’ Express,’ a seven-night adventure

from Delhi to Mangalore, India, range from two

days to two weeks.

Colombo, Sri Lanka and Bazaruto Island,

Mozambique, will begin in Singapore before

heading off to Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, and

India. The soft beaches of the Maldives and

Seychelles are followed by an extended

voyage throughout the Mediterranean, UK,

Iceland, Canada and U.S. east coast. As year-

end beckons, the ship calls on the Caribbean,

a transit through the Panama Canal and

several South American countries.

Each year several expeditions are

conducted that give Residents & Guests an

in-depth look at a particular region. Three are

planned in 2015 including West Africa,

Greenland and Antarctica; the latter offering a

two-week adventure through icebergs, glacier

caves and snow-capped mountains.

On this nautical neighbourhood

extraordinary experiences are the norm. Like

savouring champagne and caviar atop an

Antarctic glacier or being the only

humans on earth to witness the

Solomon Island’s Kavachi undersea

volcano erupt, shooting plumes of

ash high into the sky, as the ship sailed by.

This exceptional combination of adventure,

travel and home ownership, on what could

arguably be considered the most exclusive

address in the world, offers unrivaled

personalised service and privileged access to

the planet’s most beautiful and remote

destinations.

A voyage on The World affords a fascinating lifestyle of thrilling global exploration and discovery of dynamic cultures. To learn more call +1 (954) 538-8449 or visitaboardtheworld.com
