Exploring the Dreamlike “Floating City” of the Super Wealthy

Since its maiden voyage in 2012, The World has traversed an impressive 641,000 nautical miles, making port at a remarkable 1,213 destinations. Revered as the “floating city” of millionaires, The World boasts lavish amenities including a tennis court and a sprawling 650 m2 fitness and massage area.

This modern-day counterpart to the famed Titanic, The World, is home to six exquisite luxury restaurants, accompanied by a premium wine warehouse boasting an astonishing collection of over 12,000 bottles.

Becoming a citizen of this 12-deck “floating city” demands more than just being a millionaire; it necessitates meeting a host of exacting criteria. In exchange, citizens relish a life of opulence and possess the ability to participate in decisions spanning from the yearly travel itinerary to the selection of fuel and holiday embellishments.

“The residents aboard the yacht encompass a community of accomplished individuals – lawyers, doctors, architects, and entrepreneurs. Their input plays a pivotal role in shaping the yacht’s operations,” elucidates Ms. Lillian Veri, a Canadian resident aboard The World yacht.

Lisa Spiller, a member of The World’s management, unveiled that the yacht’s inhabitants are not only affluent but also own private aircraft. Ms. Spiller further expounded that not just anyone has the privilege to acquire apartments on this luxurious super yacht, particularly those who have historically been the subject of relentless paparazzi attention.

Ms. Spiller emphasized that the inclusion of such individuals could compromise the privacy of other residents. At present, all the apartments on The World have been completely sold out.
