Some retirees plan to retire aboard a cruise ship. Embracing life as a long-term cruiser does offer some benefits including the ability to sail around the world and receive discounts through loyalty programs offered through cruise lines.
How do you permanently live on a cruise ship?
Some cruise lines offer cabins for sale, allowing you to own your place at sea. Other ships accommodate extended trips, such as 180 days or more. You also need to decide what to do about your current housing situation. You might rent your home while you set sail or divide your time between cruising and living on land.
