Ship Condo: The Ultimate in Luxury

If you love to go on cruises but want more luxury, you should
buy a ship condo. A ship condo is similar to a cruise ship,
except that you own your suite or room. You can go on vacation
at any time you want and visit fantastic destinations. You can
even live onboard year round if you want.

These special cruise ships travel all over the world each year.
They visit places like the Panama Canal, New Orleans, Lisbon,
Gibraltar, Casablanca, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Cape Town. The
ships often time their visits to match up with popular events in
port cities, like Mardi Gras or the Cannes Film Festival.

Many of the ship condos that sail the world are the ultimate in
luxury. They often include things like swimming pools, tennis
courts, driving ranges, health spas, movie theaters, and first
class dining options. Some have world class lectures, classes on
various topics, revolving art exhibits, and fully stocked
libraries.

Another popular feature on many ships is the integrated
telecommunications and technology system. This allows
individuals to surf the web, talk to clients or business
associates all over the world, and work on board ship if they
want to. Some individuals run their businesses from the ship,
while they enjoy the sun and sea.

When considering whether a ship condo is right for you, you
should keep in mind several different factors. First, cost of
the units tends to range from several hundred thousand for
smaller, studio units to several million dollars for the larger
condos. Ownership lasts as long as the ship remains running,
usually for a number of decades.

In addition, depending on the particular ship, owners may have
to pay yearly fees for the upkeep and maintenance on the ship.
The amount differs from ship to ship and depends on the size of
your condo. Other ships may not require any yearly fees at all
so it pays to check this out before buying a condo on ship.

You also need to think about whether the lifestyle is for you.
Whether you choose to life onboard or not, buying a condo on a
ship is expensive and the asset will depreciate over time. So,
your ownership isn't so much an investment as it is helping you
live the life that you want to lead.

For some people, the thought of being able to live on board a
cruise ship and sail all over the world excites them. For
others, the cost and living arrangements aren't what they are
looking for. Some individuals, who don't want to live full-time
on one of the ships, buy a partial ownership which allows them
time on the ship but they aren't tied to it.

A ship condo is great if you love cruises and want to visit
exotic destinations all year round. Whether you want to retire
or work while you are on board is your choice; you can easily do
either. Enjoy the ship's amenities while you cruise the world in
luxurious style.
