A new residential cruise ship plans to sail around the world every 2½ years. Cabins start at $11 million.

Ulyssia’s team started planning its residential ship, shown in a render, two years ago.

The ship would have children and education services to accommodate the youngest travelers.
As for the older guests, the company’s CEO expects most to be “entrepreneurial” — the kind of people who would own multiple homes in different countries, Renato Chizzola, Ulyssia’s senior vice president of lifestyle and development, said in a press release.
But there’s one major roadblock between these wealthy would-be residents and a life at sea.
Ulyssia said its ship, shown in a render, would have two helicopters that would take guests to excursions, airports, and hospitals.

The World and Ulyssia have two key differences — their vessels’ ages and their residents’ net worth.
The World’s ship would be 26 years old by the time of Ulyssia’s planned launch in 2028.
The World requires its buyers to have a minimum net worth of $10 million.
Ulyssia would have amenities like a “culinary studio,” market, and water toys.

Ulyssia’s minimum is €25 million — about $27.87 million.
At least its travelers would get to see the world on a luxury superyacht. The helicopters and submarines probably help, too.
