Though I wouldn’t normally use the words cruising and traveling together, the new Four Seasons Ocean Residences is, indeed, a cruise ship for travelers — very rich travelers. Featuring 112 floating condos — ranging from one-bedroom cabins costing $3.7 million to penthouses costing nearly $40 — the Four Seasons will cruise the globe for several years.
The ship’s itinerary features stops in Antarctica; at the 2012 Olympics; in the Amazon; the Rio Carnival; and the Monaco Grand Prix. Boasting a helipad, its own marina, and a launch for jet skis or sailboats, the Four Seasons is obviously traveling at its most elegant…
…and at it’s most boring. Despite its fancy-shmancy itinerary — I’d prefer traveling via mini-bus with a cracked windshield. What fun is it to spend most of your time hobnobbing with the super-wealthy, tottering around on putting greens, when you could be exploring the places you’re visiting? Personally: it sounds boring.
