"The idea first struck me on a trip to Iceland aboard a Royal Caribbean ship. Thanks to Starlink, I was able to jump on Zoom calls, record podcasts, and do interviews right from the ship. The one thing missing? A real place to work. Even in the private lounges, I'd often get weird looks from vacationers who wanted nothing to do with business when I was talking on the phone or on a Zoom call."
"Residential cruise ships are still rare. There's The World, launched in 2002 and geared toward retirees, and the budget-friendly Villa Vie Odyssey, which hit the water last year. Crescent Seas is taking things further, announcing that two former Norwegian Cruise Line ships will be converted into luxury floating residences. The first to debut will be the Crescent Navigator, once known as the Regent's Navigator of the Seas."
Crescent Seas plans to convert two former Norwegian Cruise Line ships into luxury floating residences that enable living and working at sea. High-speed satellite internet like Starlink and SpaceX connectivity make global remote work feasible. The project targets digital nomads, startup founders, and residents seeking community and travel combined. Residences will include kitchens, daily housekeeping, butler services, and onboard healthcare. Ships will offer multiple restaurants, lounges, and high-end amenities. The first vessel, Crescent Navigator (formerly Regent's Navigator of the Seas), will exemplify the concept by providing dedicated workspaces and residential services while cruising worldwide.
