People talk a lot about the concept of living at sea, but one question comes up more than almost any other: Would people actually live onboard year-round? The answer, according to a recent Live at Sea community poll, is yes , and by a larger margin than many people expected. When community members were asked […]
The latest Avora Lumina webinar pulled back the curtain a bit more on where things actually stand. There’s progress. There’s momentum.

People hear “residential cruise ship” and their brains go to two places: How much does it cost? And can I afford it? Both are the wrong question. The better question is this: how does the true cost of living on land actually compare to life at sea when you include everything? The Hidden Math of […]
