Services

A new horizon in luxury living — at sea.

Residential cruise ships are a year-round home on the water: private residences aboard a continuously sailing vessel, with hotel-grade services and a global itinerary that never repeats.

The Category

Your home, anchored everywhere.

A residential cruise ship is a privately owned home aboard a purpose-built vessel that circumnavigates the world year after year. Owners enjoy the permanence of a residence, the service of a five-star hotel, and an itinerary that brings the world's most extraordinary destinations to their doorstep.

ABIS are proud to promote a flagship program in a rapidly expanding category, where inventory remains scarce. A residence at sea is one of the rarest forms of real estate in the world.
