The World, Residences at Sea Returns to the U.S. to Explore Hawaii, Alaska and East and West Coasts
July 2017
The World, the largest, privately owned residental Ship on the planet (aboardtheworld.com) has returned to the United States where she will journey to more than 30 ports of call on the mainland, Alaska and Hawaii and end the year with a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration in the Magic City – Miami, Florida. Her return follows an extensive exploration earlier this year of Australia, New Zealand and Asia and expeditions to the Ross Sea and Melanesia (Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea). While in Antarctica, the Ship achieved a Guinness World Record for the most southerly navigation.
During The World’s one-month exploration of Alaska, Residents and Guests will hike glaciers in Matanuska, spot bears by ‘floatplane’ in Kodiak and canyoneer through ravines and caves in Anchorage. At San Diego’s Museum of Art, Residents will view a broad spectrum of works and get a beside-the-scenes look at 300 little-known masterpieces currently in storage and that will be made available exclusively to The World’s Residents. As a special treat, those participating in the Napa Valley Wine Train and Winery Visits destination experience will enjoy wines with their meal on board the train supplied by one of their own Residents, a co-owner of a Napa winery.
While in the U.S, the Ship launches The World Nobel Laureate Lecture Series in Santa Barbara in September when 2014 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Dr. Shuji Nakamura, speaks on board about inventing the blue LED (light-emitting diode). The new program will bring four esteemed Nobel Prize Laureates to the Ship annually to lecture on topics in their respective fields such as medicine, economics and science.
