A luxury cruise is offering ‘unlimited stays’ so guests can live at sea – with food, drink and internet all included.
Plus, they’ll get to travel to more than 400 destinations in 147 countries.
And what’s better is it costs less than the price of the average three-bed house.
Villa Vie Residences has launched the package, called Endless Horizons.
The lifetime guarantee offers unlimited use of the Villa Vie Odyssey, meaning guests are able to stay on board as frequently as they like.
The ship docks at different ports for more than five days at a time, allowing residents to explore exotic locations instead of travelling just from port to port.
There are various different tiers of packages available, with the Ocean View Villa package starting at £263,536 for a solo occupant, and £451,588 if you want to travel as a couple.
The premium package, called Our Suites, starts at £940,828 for someone travelling by themselves, and £1.3 million for a double.

Included in that cost is ‘a luxurious queen-size bed, a large en-suite bathroom, and premium toiletries’.
The suite package serves as a home on the ocean, providing a dedicated workspace and 24/7 cabin service.
For another £37,632, residents can buy Villa Vie’s Endless Horizons Unleashed package, which even includes medical care, access to the ship’s spa treatments, and nail and hair appointments.
Earlier this year, a couple told the Daily Mail they plan to spend the next 15 years living on the all-around-the world cruise as they escape soaring bills at home.
Lanette and Johan Canen, both 55, have been on the cruise for 10 months, and said it was a ‘no brainer’ for them to live out their retirement on the never-ending Villa Vie Odyssey ship.
The pair had already been living in Hawaii for ten years and ‘thought we’d die happy there’ – but after they went on a cruise holiday they came across the Odyssey and were ‘hooked’.
Johan told the Daily Mail: ‘We had a rented cars business which we sold to be able to afford our cabin.
‘People think we’re ultra rich for being able to do this, but it’s cheaper than our rent and living costs in Hawaii. This is for normal people.’

To Lanette and Johan, this is about leaving their troubles behind.
‘We don’t have an exit strategy, we’re both 55, we don’t need things anymore. We just want adventures and experiences. We went from owning 31 cars to none,’ Johan said.
‘It feels so good to have no responsibilities – we have our laundry done and get our sheets changed twice a week.
‘The service is outstanding, we feel like royalty – they even bow to us. There’s no regrets whatsoever, I love this lifestyle,’ Lanette added.
If you’re sharing a room, it’s just £1,403 a month per person – what the average person might expect to pay on rent and bills in London – but without the luxury of hand to foot service while travelling all around the world.
‘With rent going up all over the world, this is going to be the new way of living,’ Lanette said.
Johan added: ‘This is the future, especially with working from home’.
