Crescent Seas, Clydebuilt, Ulyssia Launch Luxury Residential Cruise Options

Crescent Seas, a newly established residential cruise line, plans to launch a fleet of five ships, offering luxury suites priced between $750,000 and $10 million. The first ship, Navigator, is set for a $50 million refit before its inaugural world cruise in December 2024, while Insignia will follow in 2027. In a parallel venture, the 'Dark Island' will feature 236 luxury suites starting at £4.2 million, with additional fees for onboard services, aimed at providing a communal living experience on the sea. Another project, the 'Ulyssia,' marketed to the ultra-rich, will offer residences starting at $10 million, with penthouses priced up to $90 million, and is expected to launch in 2029. These developments indicate a growing trend in luxury living at sea, catering to affluent individuals seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort. All three projects emphasize high-end amenities, including fine dining, wellness facilities, and extensive entertainment options onboard.
