Huge Cruise Liner Currently on Island Stop

One of the biggest cruise ships in the World is currently sat in Douglas bay.

The vessel is aptly named The World and is different to other cruise liners in that it’s a permanent place of residence for its on board passengers.

If you’re looking to buy one of the 165 apartments on offer they have a starting price of $2 million.

The residents, from about 40 different countries, live on board as the ship slowly circumnavigates the globe - staying in most ports from 2 to 5 days.

When it leaves the Island tomorrow it’ll be headed for Whitehaven, and then moving onto Liverpool.
