The huge cruise ship, MS The World, arrived at Greenwich Reach on Friday.
The World is a “residence at sea” comprising of 165 apartments, allowing the super rich to see the world from the comfort of a floating block of flats. According to Wikipedia, in 2010 a studio apartment on board would have cost $600,000 and a two bedroom apartment just short of $3,000,000.
Residents of the ocean-faring housing estate – let’s call it the Ferry Estate – have decanted from their plush homes onto dry land to sample the best that London has to offer.
The end of the World’s visit to Greenwich will be on Wednesday, when those wealthy enough, and lucky enough, to call this imposing ship home will set sail for the next stop on their itinerary: Newcastle!
