It’s an idea worth working a lifetime for: purchasing your very own mobile apartment on a huge luxury cruise ship, and spending your days wandering from port to port throughout the world.
For around 120 residents of 19 different nationalities on board ‘The World’, this idea is their reality, and for the next few days, these elite passengers will be exploring the very best that paradise has to offer after their ship docked at the port of Victoria at 9 am yesterday on the main Seychelles island of Mahé.
The World was launched in 2002 and it is the largest privately owned residential yacht with 165 residences on board.
The World’s residents are an "exclusive group", demanding the very best in dining, accommodation, activities and tours.
According to a press release issued last week by the Seychelles Ministry of Tourism and Culture, 7⁰ South had been working closely with the management of The World over the past four months to coordinate the residents’ visit to the archipelago of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean.
They spent the day on Mahé, some chose different excursions, such as shopping at Eden Plaza, eating out in restaurants, going to the beach at Beau Vallon, and tours of Victoria including the Botanical Gardens. Some also chose golf, fishing excursions, visit in the marine park or private tours across the island.
