In the cruise ship that people will live on – and it is cheaper than you might think

Have you ever dreamed to wake up at a different destination every few days?

And what if you could do that from your own house?

That is the reality for the inhabitants of MV -Story of the storylinesA cruise ship that is designed to be a permanent home for a community of around 1,000 seafarers.

Currently under construction, the 741 feet/225m long ship will transport its residents around the world and put it in another city every few days.

MailOnline Travel has overtaken Alister Punton, the founder and CEO of Storylines, to find out what residents can expect on board.

Alister, whose background is in real estate, says: ‘Our slogan is that you will lead a happier, healthier life with storylines. And it’s not a disposable line, we actually mean it. We have the largest wellness center at sea, a long-lived clinic and an anti-aging clinic.

“And then the residents will be with other good people, there will be a happy mentality, traveling in the sun, all these things put together to have a positive impact on your life.”

Although the ship was only planned at the beginning of 2028, Alister reveals that the storylines have already sold around 35-40 percent of its homes. The accommodation varies from 226 m²/21 m² studios, priced from $ 625,000/£ 470,500 to houses with four bedrooms of 1.432 m²/133 m² priced from $ 8 million/£ 6 million.

Until now, residents have come to ‘about 20 different countries’ and a whole series of ages are represented, says Alister.

He says MailOnline: ‘We have people in the twenty and 30 years with younger families and people who have companies and are planning to work remotely. Then we also have pensioners.

“We didn’t want to create space that was only one part of the community. We want people to experience a complete community and not be separated. When you have different generations in one location, this generally also leads to people who lead happier, healthier life. ‘

And, perhaps surprisingly, not all potential residents of the ship have even been on a cruise earlier. Alister says: ‘There is a pretty large quota from people who have never done that. Because this will be a home.

“It looks like a cruise ship, but that’s where the parable almost ends.”

Although the lifestyle, community and health benefits of the ship are important draws for many residents, Alister claims that it will also be cheaper than living on land.

“You can live on board storylines for less than $ 100,000/£ 75,000 for two people, All -Inclusive, all year round,” he explains. ‘Away from your car, remove your car insurance and utility accounts. You can really live a five -star luxury lifestyle without many monthly outgoing editions and wake up in a new destination every few days. ‘

Residents have around 20 different bars and restaurants to choose from in storylines, but of course they will not be limited to the ship. Alister says: ‘We are in the harbor every three to five days so that people can go out to dinner. They can make friends in the local community. ‘

Apart from restaurants, MV Narrative has an art studio, an ‘OceanSide Marina’ with direct access to the water and a running track

Until now, residents have met on community events that are held through storylines where Alister says that they tend to pass together as ‘long -lost friends’

Apart from restaurants, MV Narrative has an art studio, an ‘OceanSide Marina’ with direct access to the water and a career.

And there is one extra facility that Alister said was a dealbreaker for many of the American residents of the ship. He explains: ‘I am from Australia, so I didn’t know what pickleball was, but I learned very quickly. We have redesigned the space of the sun deck so that the pickleball court could fit. ‘

Although the ship’s travel schedule will be planned in advance, Alister says that residents will be able to choose every so often via an app.

Children on the ship go to a school with teachers on board and field excursions in the destinations they visit.

“The students we will turn out of that school will speak a few languages, they have a network of people from all over the world they will call friends,” says Alister.

Until now, residents have met on community events that are held through storylines where Alister says that they tend to pass together as ‘long -lost friends’.

And that is good news for Alister, who will be one of the first residents on board MV story.

He says: ‘I have built for a long time by what I personally believe will be the best lifestyle community on earth. Shall I live there? Absolute.’
