“The World” Residential Cruise Ship entered Durban Harbour yesterday morning, and Brian King sent in these 3 fantastic pictures of her arrival.

Launched in 2002, The World is the largest private residential ship on the planet – at 644 feet. It continuously circumnavigates the globe, allowing residents to wake up in a new destination every few days!

The World’s website states:

“Imagine the ultimate lifestyle that comes with combining a private yacht and a luxury vacation home. A home that takes you all around the globe, allowing you to wake up to new scenery outside your private veranda every few days.

That is what life is like aboard The World, the largest private residential ship on the planet at 644 feet.

With only 165 individual Homes, The World’s Residents enjoy one of the most exclusive lifestyles imaginable. Not only do Residents own their individual Residences, but collectively, they own the ship, ensuring that the experiences – both onboard and off – are far beyond current luxury travel standards.”
