Answers to frequent questions asked about Residential Ocean Liners ™.

Can I buy property aboard the ship and live in it when I want, then rent or lease it out when I am not using it, or possibly for my own small cruise business ?

Yes, you can buy property onboard and offset your costs of owning by doing this. This would also depend on where the unit is located, as there are designated areas for this and other purposes.  There is also the option of being able to purchase properties aboard with our different types of ownerships and operate a cruise business separate from your residence.  For example - with our fractional ownership you could purchase one of our vacation homes, a suite, cabin, or stateroom to live in for 6 months, and another for a regional, international or global venture providing cruises and vacations.  Our owner ship programs are versatile and structured to be flexible with annual owner ships from two weeks and up, scaleable to meet various requirements of different owners.

We live in Canada and are looking at our options for when we retire.  As citizens we want to retire somewhere warm for the winter, but maintain our Canadian citizenship and healthcare.  How can we do this ?

As Canadians, you must be living in Canada for six months and a day annually to maintain your residency status.  The rest of the year you can be living anywhere in the world where it's warm and comfortable.  Our fractional ownership program is ideal for anyone planning on retiring.  You could acquire a 1/2 mutual interest in one of our homes and stay onboard for the maximum time allowable.  For retirement, this is an ideal way of owning a place to reside for the winter and escape the cold and snow to a place where it's comfortable all year.  The other 1/2 of the mutual interest in the residence club unit would be utilized by people who want to stay on board for up to a 6 month interval when you are back home.  You only pay for the time you are a resident, and there are no residential taxes.  While you are residing in one of our residences for retirement or any other purpose, you don't have to worry about healthcare.  Our health sciences center is a fully equipped state of the art hospital facility so you can enjoy and maintain a quality lifestyle.

If there are no residential taxes, what are the costs ?

Costs for owners of private residences on our luxury liners, owners of suites, cabins, and staterooms are available in our prices.  Pricing for going on cruises, or going on vacations are averaged to show what it might cost if you own.  Price on regular cruises and vacations will be available from our resort partner businesses, their travel designers or agents.  The maintenance cost for any unit or program is included in the price.  The average price per passenger will actually lower for each additional passenger.

Our extensive use of alternative and renewable energy vastly reduces our operating expenses compared to any other boats or ships.  We are building these features into each luxury liner for the benefit of the environment, residents, guests, and those who own.  By using solar power, wind power, and hybrid energy sources, we are not as dependent on fossil fuels, and our costing is far less affected than others.  The fact is, most facilities are electrical, and rely on electricity generation from some source of fuel or energy. We have chosen to build, utilizing renewable energies wherever possible to maintain a consistent fuel cost well into the future.  These fuels are very environmentally friendly and dependable, considering where we will be residing.
