Who buys homes on a cruise ship?

People who buy homes on cruise ships are typically wealthy retirees seeking a unique, nomadic lifestyle without the hassle of traditional homeownership. They desire continuous travel, luxury amenities, and a built-in community. The high cost, like the $440,000 cabins on the Villa Vie Odyssey, reflects this exclusive, all-inclusive living arrangement.
