Luxury Condos at Sea: The Ultimate Residential Cruise Experience

Villa Vie Residences plans to launch a residential cruise ship in May 2024, offering cabins starting at $100,000. The ship will circumnavigate the world every 3.5 years, stopping at 425 ports in 147 countries. This new venture aims to compete with existing luxury residential cruise ships like The World, which sells condos annually starting at $2 million. Other companies in the condominium-at-sea market have faced delays and setbacks, but Villa Vie Residences is confident in closing on a ship by the end of this year.

"Global Adventure: Traveling the World Without Motors"

Canadian firefighter Markus Pukonen is set to complete his seven-year journey to circumnavigate the world using only non-motorized transport. Pukonen has traveled 80,000 kilometers across 29 countries, using various modes of transport including walking, cycling, skiing, rowing, and stand-up paddleboarding. He founded nonprofit organization Routes of Change to raise funds and awareness for small social and environmental organizations throughout his journey. Pukonen hopes to inspire people to change the way they look at the planet and realize their potential to make a difference. He plans to write a book and make a film about his journey and hopes to pass the baton to another adventurer to continue spreading the message.
