While US$8 million can buy a mansion in the Midwest, a flat in New York or a gorgeous house in Los Angeles, homeowners can now add a new option to consider – a condominium aboard a cruise ship

The floating accommodation can go from US$1 million for a studio home to US$9 million for a 2-floor space, and guests can also make the most of the exquisite F&B options and world-class facilities

Ever fancied living on a luxury ship cruise? Well, it might be your lucky day.

Storylines is building a residential cruise ship that will travel around the world nonstop in 2025. There are several nearly US$8 million condominiums still available for purchase.

A cool US$8 million could buy you a mansion in the Midwest, a sprawling three-bedroom condo in New York or a luxurious house in Los Angeles. But if you’ve always fantasised about life at sea, US$8 million could also buy you your dream home: a condominium aboard a cruise ship.
