World first three-year cruise revealed
Have you ever dreamed about living out at sea? On a luxury cruise ship while travelling every corner of the world?
Well, with this revolutionary first in the cruising industry, now you can!
Life at Sea Cruises have revealed the new MV Gemini: a world first three-year cruise, setting sail and visiting 135 countries across the globe.
Starting off in Istanbul on November 1, the three-year journey across 209,214 kilometres will visit 375 ports around the world.
Passengers can also be picked up in Barcelona, Spain, or Miami, Florida.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will allow visitors to see 13 World Wonders, including Rome's famous Colosseum, India's Taj Mahal and Brazil's Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.
Most around-the-world cruises spend just a couple hours or maybe even a few nights per port, while the MV Gemini will dock for up to seven nights at a single destination, allowing travellers to get the most out of each city.
Eager travellers will be able to board from just $125 (AUD) a night, with a variety of basic and luxury rooms available.
Prices for the entry-level cabins, the 'Inside/Outside Staterooms,' start at $3,726 per month for cabins ranging from 130 to 142 square feet.
Moving up a level, you've got the 'Premium Inside/Outside Staterooms' ranging from 142 to 160 square feet, with prices for this room starting at $4,323 per month, working out to be $141 per day.
Lastly there are the 'Junior Suites/Balcony Suites', the most luxurious on the ship, as these cabins, ranging from 210 to 260 square feet, start at $9,989 per month, which works out at $119,294 per year per person.
The biggest catch of the journey: travellers are not able to book shorter stays onboard the vessel.
It’s either three years at sea, or nothing.
Luckily, while reselling of rooms is not allowed, guests, including children, are allowed to visit at any time.
Reservations for Life at Sea's MV Gemini three-year cruise opened on March 1st.
