The World comes to Guernsey – again
THE WORLD, the largest private residential ship on earth, is due back in St Peter Port today.
She will be anchored in Guernsey waters until 11pm on Wednesday.
The ship last visited in July 2010 and this will be her fourth call.
While in Guernsey, residents will have the opportunity to take part in one-of-a-kind experiences, including an evening reception at Castle Cornet, an exclusive private showing of Victor Hugo’s Drawings: Visions of Exile, an intimate evening with the Seigneur of Sausmarez Manor, as well as cycling across the island and hiking in and around St Peter Port.
From Guernsey, The World will sail to the Netherlands before embarking on its 11-day Svalbard Archipelago expedition at the beginning of August from Tromso, Norway.
In early autumn, The World sails back to the British Isles to experience the more remote regions – such as the isolated archipelago of St Kilda and on to additional islands throughout the Hebrides such as the Glannan Isles, Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands.
Launched in 2002, The World has 165 luxury residences.
People from 19 countries own the homes on board.
They circumnavigate the globe every two to three years following an itinerary that they select.
On board are six restaurants, putting greens, a state-of-the-art golf simulator and resident pro, a full-size tennis court, swimming pools, a spa, a fitness centre complete with personal trainers, expert destination lecturers, a library, cinema, hobby and games rooms.
