11 Digital Nomad Cruises: Live & Work at Sea on These Long-Term Voyages

7. The World – A Private Yacht for the Ultra-Mobile Elite

For digital nomads with deep pockets, The World is the pinnacle of remote living at sea. This privately owned residential yacht sails globally year-round, with itineraries shaped by its resident owners. While the ship itself boasts world-class restaurants, a golf simulator, tennis courts, and luxury suites, its true selling point is exclusivity. Residents must either purchase a unit or be invited aboard—and units reportedly start in the multi-million-dollar range. But for ultra-high-net-worth individuals working remotely, it’s a discreet, secure, and supremely elegant base of operations. Wi-Fi is fast, privacy is respected, and the onboard community is curated. Think hedge fund managers, remote CEOs, and global consultants who want to work on their terms while circling the globe. For the rest of us, it’s aspirational—but fascinating to watch.
