City on the High Seas

By Maiden Bernaldez, Contributor

Do you wish to live an enchanting and intriguing life that is full of passion and adventure? Is life on land just too blasé for your expensive taste? Well, if you love traveling and if you have a thing about living a life of elegance and luxury, then climb aboard the floating city known as The World by ResidenSea —a fantasy life, which allows you to travel without leaving home. 

The World is the world’s only mobile and full-time floating luxury community managed by Florida-based company, ResidenSea. Freedom Ship is another permanent floating residence that is presently under construction. 

Owning a home on The World offers an extraordinary opportunity for exploration and learning about new cultures.

Prices are predictably high, ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million to own on-board condo spaces. Activities and amenities on board include swimming pools, restaurants, tennis courts, a library, health spa, fitness center and even golf greens. Sure, it sounds a lot like a cruise ship, but it is also a full-time residence (and even tax haven) for many on-board owners.

A mile-long and 25 story-high, Freedom Ship is a self-sufficient floating city with absolutely everything included from parks and playgrounds to apartments, businesses, schools, casinos and shopping malls and any other amenity you can think of. Energy self-sufficient, Freedom Ship would accommodate 40,000 full-time residents and 60,000 total occupants, and rather than docking, aircrafts will land to resupply the ship and deposit and pick up residents. It will also be fully-networked for phone and Internet communications.
