If you’ve ever dreamed of living at sea, The World is the ultimate address. As the only fully private residential cruise ship on the planet, it’s home to just 165 luxury apartments, sailing year-round to ports across the globe. Unlike traditional cruise ships, this floating community is owned by its residents — a select group who travel in style without ever giving up the comforts of home.
In July 2025, WeOnCruise captured a rare, ground-level 4K video tour of The World during her stop in Klaipėda, Lithuania. This two-minute walk along the quay offers an intimate look at the ship’s sleek bow, cascading balconies, and vibrant pier atmosphere.

Why Ship-Spotters Love This Port Call
Klaipėda’s cruise pier offers perfect viewing conditions for maritime enthusiasts. In the WeOnCruise footage, you’ll see:
