Now here’s a really interesting idea for a corporate housing development.
A luxury cruise ship that serves as a floating vacation home as it navigates around the world has scheduled a stop in Maine.
The World, a 644-foot ship with 165 residences ranging from studio apartments to a six-bedroom ocean penthouse, will visit Portland, Maine from Oct. 15-17, 2012.

Residents live aboard the ship as it circles the globe. Sounds like a great place for a vacation home or n office-at-sea, so to speak, don’t you think?
If you visit The World’s website, there you will find listings for residences for sale on board, deck plans, and designers who are available to help you add the more creature comforts to your floating space.
The ship left Australia in January, 2010 on a route that includes Southeast Asia, India, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. It will then go to Greenland and along the east coasts of North and South America before ending its yearlong trip in Antarctica.
The World last visited Portland in 2005. Sounds like an interesting place to put up stakes, or to call your home away from home while you’re traveling on business.
