This is no ordinary open house, however. These living quarters are aboard a [giant luxury ship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-horizons). Thirty of 112 residences will be made available at this exclusive event. The ship is owned by the [Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-private-jet-experience). It will circumnavigate the globe and spend more than 250 nights a year at exotic ports. World events such as the Rio Carnival, The America's Cup, The British Open Championship, the Grand Prix in Monaco and the 2010 London Olympics will be a part of the itinerary. Interested? You better make some jack, because the residences start at $3.8 million and go up to about $39 million. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Ocean Residences:** As demand for unique and exclusive living spaces increases, innovative companies can offer luxurious floating homes for affluent customers to live an exclusive lifestyle on the ocean. - **Floating Adventure Travel:** As traditional travel becomes more predictable, adventurous travelers seek unique destinations by offering extended stays on luxury ships that travel to exotic locations around the world. - **Sustainable Ocean Living:** As environmental concerns mount, offering a sustainable lifestyle solution using innovative technology by creating floating communities using eco-friendly materials will provide a responsible alternative to traditional living spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Real Estate:** Companies in the real estate industry can explore the development of luxury living spaces by expanding into exclusive niche markets such as ocean residences. - **Tourism:** Companies in the tourism industry can tap into high-end customers that demand unique and exclusive travel experiences by offering extended stays on luxury cruise ships that explore exotic locations around the world. - **Sustainable Living:** Companies in the sustainable living industry can develop innovative eco-friendly solutions for high-end customers who are interested in reducing their environmental impact by living in floating communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Hotel-Branded Travel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-private-jet-experience.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Overwater Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-private-reserve.md) - [Cuisine-Focused Luxury Travel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-yachts.md) - [Hyper-Luxury Submersible Superyachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migaloo-m5-superyacht.md) - [Seafaring Sky Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airyacht.md) - [Opulent Ultra-Exclusive Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aman-amangati-yacht.md) - [Global Hospitality Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-hotels-and-resorts.md) - [Modern Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pura-vida-floating-home.md) - [Luxury Beachfront Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-rio-de-janeiro.md)
