Refugees streaming into Sweden are being given an “unusual” housing option: a cruise ship, officials announced Wednesday

Some 1,260 asylum seekers will be offered shelter aboard the ship, owned by Accumul8or Invest AB, for up to a year.

The Swedish Migration Agency, known as Migrationsverket, which struck the deal with the ship’s owner, conceded the move was odd.

“It’s a bit unusual,” Migrationsverket rep Willis Åberg told regional tabloid GT.

“It’s nothing we’re used to. It’s new for Sweden and it’s also new for the shipping industry.”

The agency first floated the idea last month as a way to ease the housing shortage in the Nordic country.

Over 150,000 refugees have poured into Sweden in the past year, the most in the EU. It is not yet clear at which port the ship will dock, or when the initiative will begin.

Officials said they’re still working on a long-term solution.
