A year at sea: The reality of living on a permanent cruise

Yeah, what the fuck does a retired old lady care about climate change

Easy to take down once the water wars start.

Climate collapse is happening in front of our eyes, and these bozos have nothing better to do… sigh.

There are also sailing hipies on 5- 10k boats out there trying to live cheap, living their dreams (and trying to avoid orcas)

Depressingly this is probably a way to ensure better treatment than any care home would give you. Have known someone do some cruising in retirement, but the ship was wind powered and made of wood.

Old people fucking suck.

five-year cabin ownership starts at $59,999. Full ownership prices start at $99,999. There are various other occupancy plans. Owners also pay monthly fees — which in 2025 worked out as $2,000 per person per month for double occupancy, and $3,000 for single occupancy.

And while the prices of a Villa Vie’s cabin aren’t cheap, they remain comparatively accessible in contrast to The World, the only other residential cruise ship experience currently at sea, which caters to a more upscale market with a current starting price of $3.5 million.

For those who really want to murder the environment in their final years

the people who do this remind of me of multiple scifi stories & tv shows where characters do something like this; especially doctor who.

it’s fitting that most of them are dystopic in tone because it matches our reality.

Once people is all in, monthly price will skyrocket… It’s always the same.

As a startup it’s nice, then scales and has to become profitable.

Hopefully in the process will destroy any retirement alternative by price dumping.

Fuck leaving any money around for your kids. Give it all to the giant corporations
