Retiring and living on a cruise ship, a concept that combines retirement planning with the allure of perpetual seafaring, has gained traction in recent years. For those seeking an unconventional retirement lifestyle, it offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and constant exploration.
The idea of living on a cruise ship in retirement is not entirely new. In the 1970s, Norwegian shipping magnate Knut Kloster started offering long-term residencies on his cruise ships, catering to a niche market of retirees seeking an extended vacation at sea. Over time, as cruise ships have become more luxurious and amenities have expanded, the concept has evolved into a viable retirement option for a growing number of people.
