Described as a retirement dream for globetrotters, the all-inclusive deal includes food, drink, and Wi-Fi onboard the Ville Vie Odyssey cruise ship.
And the best bit is the lifetime guarantee means you can come and go as you please.
Unlike traditional cruises, the ship docks at each port for more than five days, so residents can properly explore rather than just dash between locations.
There are a number of different tiered packages for those wanting to make the sea their home.

Inside Brooklyn Beckham's 'financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel
A spokesperson for the company said the concept is about creating freedom, travel, and comfort for those looking to retire in style or just live life on their own terms.
When can I retire?
IF you're wondering when you can retire, it's best to speak to your pension providers.
Firstly, use the government's tool to check your state pension age.
Next check retirement ages on workplace pension schemes - this can massively impact your windfall once you enter your golden years.
For advice, you can contact The Pensions Advisory Service for free online or on 0800 011 3797.
Luxury yachts
And it's not the only mega-yacht making headlines this season.
The 390ft superyacht Breakthrough, rumoured to belong to billionaire Bill Gates, is also set to make its grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September.
The £476million ship has been billed as the first-ever hydrogen-powered yacht, and comes with jaw-dropping features including a cinema, basketball court, hospital, two offices, and enough staterooms to house an entire football team.
If Gates really is behind it, he's got competition from Brooklyn Beckham, who was recently spotted sailing into Saint-Tropez aboard his billionaire in-laws' 80-metre yacht, Project X, worth a cool £85million.
Meanwhile, his dad David Beckham was moored nearby on his own £16million vessel Seven, which looks like a dinghy by comparison.
From sci-fi style yachts to floating mansions with four-storey townhouses tucked inside, it's clear 2025 is the year of the mega boat flex.
And with VanDutch leading the charge in design, tech and speed, it might just be time to trade your retirement home for a vessel spot.

Messi or Ronaldo? Senna or Schumacher? Tiger or Jack? Ant or Dec? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 15 The first Ford Transit was built at Langley, Berks, an old Hawker Hurricane factory, on August 9, 1965. It cost £542 and had a 610g payload 15 If the Pepsi van was not spectacular enough from the outside, the interior featured a mirrored cocktail bar with luxury seats and disco lights. It was the 70s, man 15 Wills and Kate had a transit on Anglesey to avoid getting spotted But when it comes to vehicles, it's not even a debate. Greatest Of All Transit. The humble Ford Transit has been Britain's best-selling van since day one - August 9, 1965. That's like Liverpool winning the Prem for 60 years on the bounce. Everyone else might as well give up and go home. To celebrate Transit's 60th, we've peppered today's column with quirky facts, as well as hearing from owners with a cherished van from each decade. Ford's famous Backbone Of Britain telly ad from the Eighties was genius marketing. Yet also 100 per cent true. Transit keeps this country ticking.

But now you can get the sun-kissed look without banishing your SPF thanks to Aldi. The German retailer is renowned for offering skincare, beauty and hair products that rival luxury competitors for a fraction of the price. And their new £3.99 Tanning Facial Drops have sent beauty buffs into a frenzy. READ MORE ON BEAUTY DUPES LUXE LOOKALIKE Lidl's copycat beauty buy is selling for £25 less than John Lewis' version These multi-tasking drops rival Tan Luxe's illuminating face drops and cost a massive £32 less. Not only are they more affordable than the designer versions, but they come in 30ml sizes, so are perfect for packing in your holiday bag. Available in two colours, 'Light to Medium' and 'Medium to Dark', these multi-tasking drops are formulated with key skincare ingredients including Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Raspberry Fruit Extract. The combination provides complexions with a natural-looking tan while enhancing moisture and hydration. They also offer a customisable approach to self-tanning as you can add as many drops as you want to achieve a light glow or full tan.

Prism - which customers insist is "nearly identical" to the original - is described as "delicate and light" and offers "gentle notes" of Orange Blossom, Neroli and Jasmine. It also boasts "warm undertones" of Bourbon Vanilla, White Musk, and Amber which match a rich Bergamot and Tangerine "freshness on the finish".

I'm a mum of 12 – £4.50 IKEA buy is a live-saver for our busy council house bathroom, it lasts forever too
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM-OF-12 has revealed the bargain IKEA buy she swears by to keep on top of the busy family bathroom. Zoe, 47, and Ben Sullivan, 50, and their bumper brood make up one of Scotland's biggest families. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Mum-of-12 Zoe Sullivan swears by an IKEA gadget for her bathroom Credit: Zoe Sullivan 3 The mum admits it's hard to store all the family's toiletries in the bathroom Credit: Zoe Sullivan 3 The IKEA caddy has racked up rave five-star reviews Credit: Zoe Sullivan The pair are parents to Elizabeth, 20, Olivia, 18, Noah, 15, Eva, 13, Toby, 12, Agnes, seven, Joseph, six, Flo, three, and two sets of twins, Charlotte and Isabelle, 17, and Leah and Erin, nine. They live in a six-bedroom council house in Burghead, Moray, where they regularly document their hectic lives on their YouTube channel. With 14 people sharing two bathrooms, Zoe said she has to clean the space "all the time". And storage for everybody's toiletries can be a nightmare. In a short social media video, Zoe said: "We were in desperate need of some new bathroom caddies. "I had these metal ones which have been okay. I got them from B&M, but obviously because they get wet all the time they rust really easily and they don't stick all that well." The mum then stumbled across the perfect £4.50 buy from IKEA. Hailing the TISKEN basket with suction cup, she said: "These are great if you don't want to drill anything into the wall, especially if you are renting. "We've got a lot of stuff in the bathroom. There's a lot of people and this is our main bathroom. "But once you stick those things down, they are not going anywhere. I was fed up of my council bathroom looking like a s--thole so transformed it with stick on tiles & an £80 shower screen "They're plastic so they don't rust, easily cleaned just and they they're massive. They hold so much." IKEA bosses say the caddie "puts things within easy reach" without having to drill any holes into your walls. They add: "The tight-grip suction cups won't let go of smooth surfaces like glass or tiles – unless you want them to." And Zoe isn't the only person raving about them, with the handy gadget racking up five-star reviews on the website. One person said: "I was concerned about it staying put, due to only the suction hooks that hold it secure against the surface. This is unbelievable secure. Brilliant." A second wrote: "Bought these because all the metal ones I have bought have rusted. Basic but holds a ton of products. Very secure when installed. We have some texture on our tiles and it's still very secure." Meanwhile, a third added: "Bought this for all the bottles that drive me mad in the shower. "Hubby was skeptical,said wouldn't hold etc but he's been proven wrong, so strong and stays out even full of bottles and no chrome to rust either!"
