Give up the 9 to 5 and LIVE on a cruise ship for £24k a year as it tours the globe

If you dream of quitting the nine to five lifestyle, this new cruise might be for you.

Life At Sea Cruises is launching a three-year round-the-world voyage for people who want to ‘enjoy the best of living and working at sea’.

Billed as the world’s first and only three-year cruise, it will cost just £24,200 ($29,999) per person, per year, and will cover more than 210,000 miles, calling at 375 ports in 135 countries and all seven continents.

Travelers cruising on the “beautifully” redesigned MV Gemini cruise ship can continue their day-to-day work on board thanks to the ship’s “modern” work facilities, including a business center with meeting rooms, 14 office spaces and a library.

Other key features include a state-of-the-art wellness center, sun terrace and swimming pool. “It’s your home at sea with the world as your backyard,” one statement notes.

With space for up to 1,074 passengers, the renovated ship – originally built in 1992 – features 400 cabins, depicted in pictures with gray and cream furnishings and white walls.

These cabins range from a 12 square meter “Virtual Inside” stateroom to 24 square meter “Oceanview” staterooms and balcony suites.

In addition to the swimming pool and wellness center, there will be several restaurants where passengers can dine and an auditorium for live entertainment.

Passengers will also be able to participate in “learning and enrichment classes” during their time on board, according to a statement from Life At Sea Cruises – a new arm of Turkish cruise line Miray Cruises -.
