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.
