MS The World

MS The World is a private residential cruise ship operated like a condominium complex, with large apartments that can be purchased. The residents, from many countries, can live on board as it travels. Some choose to live onboard full-time while others visit periodically. It is operated by ROW Management, Ltd., headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.

MS The World was built in 2002. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for MS The World include a gross tonnage of approximately 43,188 GT, a passenger capacity in the vicinity of 200, an overall length of approximately 196 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of MS The World's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to MS The World reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
