Victoria Cruises Line is chartering a nearly 30-year-old cruise vessel formerly owned by Holland America for use as an adults-only residential cruise ship.
And in May, the Victoria Majestic and its seafaring passengers will begin indefinitely circumnavigating the globe every 27 months.
Victoria Cruises’ goal is to fill the ship with travelers who want to live on the vessel indefinitely.
As a result, it’s targeting an older demographic of travelers: “Imagine this boat as if we were putting a retirement home on the water,” Gabor Nagy-Ferenc, a sales manager with Victoria Cruises Line, told Insider in an email.
The oldest tenant is over 90-years-old.
But this lifestyle could also work for younger people working remotely.
Unlike other residential cruise ships, travelers can’t purchase a suite or stateroom.
Instead, Victoria Cruises Line offers a minimum 37-month lease, although most of its tenants have signed longer leases.
The longer the lease, the greater the discount.
The least expensive standard interior stateroom is $8,000 a month for two people on top of the $30,000 deposit.

This 226-square-foot stateroom has two small beds that can combine into a queen bed, a couch across from a desk, and a bathroom.
Like any interior stateroom, there won’t be any windows with views of the ocean.
However, all of these cabins will come with a monitor that’ll display the exterior of the ship.
