The
idea behind ResidenSea is a unique new concept-a residence at
sea, a private home that will sail around the world in pursuit
of fair weather, special international events and the natural
attractions of the world. She enters service in May 2002, at
which time she will embark on a 3-year fixed itinerary of world
cruises. The price of a "home" on board the ship will
include furniture, appliances, carpet, draperies, linen, china,
cutlery and crystal. Yearly maintenance charges are expected to
range from $60,000 to $240,000 and will cover daily housekeeping
service, repairs and replacement of appliances, fixtures and
fittings supplied by the builder. The World Residensea project
is under the leadership of Knut Kloster, Jr. and several other
recognized names in the cruise industry. The Kloster family
started Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) and Knut Kloster, Jr. has
served as chairman and CEO of both Royal Cruise Lines and NCL.
The marine architects on the project designed the Seabourn Pride
and Spirit, the Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, Sea Goddess I and
Sea Goddess II, and the Royal Viking Queen. The ship is built by
Fosen Mek. Verksteder A/S, Rissa, Norway and managed by
Silversea Cruises Ltd. While a typical 43,000-ton ship could
easily carry 1,500 passengers, the World Residensea is expected
to carry an average of 285 guests plus a crew of 320. The
passenger distribution is expected to be 40% Americans, 40%
European and 20% from other nations. Onboard the World
Residensea, two entire decks are reserved to serve as a
combination resort, street at sea, and a village of facilities
for dining, entertainment, sports, shopping, business and
leisure activities. There are several restaurants and a number
of lounges and bars, a casino, night club, and theater, as well
as a library, museum, and business center. Other facilities
include a "market room" with a licensed stock and bond
broker, a helicopter landing pad and a retractable marina for
access when anchored in port.
