â € œai has been to Canada, all the Hawaiian Islands and much of the Continent of the SH.BA, – she says about the dog.
But the biggest adventure of Choo Choo Bela € Awen Kilgore’s biggest adventure places navigation in narrative stories € mv narrative, a planned navigation ship to launch in 2027. Pets are allowed. There is a veterinarian on board!
Why a navigation ship
Kilgore, who lives in Parker, AZ, on the Colorado River, has been fascinated by the idea of living on a cruise ship since her friend bought a unit in the first navigation chimney, The World.
That housing yacht Very secretive decided to sail in 2002.
Residents are reported to be worth at least $ 10 million to earn entry and be sponsored by someone who already lives on board.
Kilgore says that when she heard her friend was live on the boat, she thought, “€, how fabulous.” At that time, she is raising four children, running a business on an adventure around.
Two decades later, in February 2022, she noticed an article about the story of storytelling, a new luxury housing liner that was a touching dedication to health and sustainability.
Just two weeks after seeing the article, it subtracted a $ 10,000 deposit to a 1.5-banking $ 1.9 million one-bed unit, called RU-3 on the 12th deck. (Has 18.)
Kilgore says that after her two children die one in 2007 at the age of 15 in a motorcycle accident and one of the natural causes at the age of 39 in 2019â “she was committed to living as much life as she could.
â € Life is not promised, ”she says.” Do the most every day you have.â €
To live in a navigation ship ”
The MV story has 530 furnished apartments, ranging from 237 to 1,970 square meters and start with $ 1 million for a studio and up to $ 8 million for a four -bedroom separate bedroom.
If the price price gives you a pause, Story Lines offers a limited number of residents for common purchase, allowing up to four owners per unit, with options starting from $ 628,000 and some leased interior studios for 500,000 dollars.
None of them calls for kilo. She is looking forward to looking at the time in the endless sea from her balcony.
As a single child, she says she has always found it “€ œeasyâ” to be alone.
â € œTraveling only allows you to be flexible, she says. “You don’t have to adhere to a plan. You can explore a destination to another level by going to offer beaten places and experience that locals may recommend.â €
Previous solo trips have included two to three journeys a year in a home she has in Hawaii, a recent triple in Spain and Portugal, walking on the pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela, and making tools in it the whole country in its engine.
As for her new ocean home, she is excited to see the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, the Greek Islands and the Galapagos Islands.
“I love water,” she says. â € and I hate the cold.â €
You are never really just on a cruise ship
Living in a navigation ship with thousands of inhabitants and their shells mean that kilge will not be truly only
“You have a choice to be around others, get involved in activities, be in group or not,” she says. “I am not someone who is concerned on his own when the ship is in the port.â €
She hopes that people on board will end up being family like family, “but admits that the only thing that would make her sell her cabin is whether other residents turn out to be” -nneighborly “.
With 22% of MV narrative residents also traveling alone, chances are good for killets to find its tribe.
Moreover, she plans to fly back to states occasionally to visit her family. And while she is massively decomposing her home in Parker, she will not sell it.
Cost of living on a luxury cruise ship
In addition to the unit cost, there is an additional annual fee of $ 68,000 to $ 245,000 per unit (based on double occupation), which covers everything, from meals to laundry and activities, to sportswear, home retention, service I room 24/7, and the costs of steering and maintaining the ship.
Single residents as kiloes will receive an 18% discount on comprehensive two occupation fees, which are collected quarterly.
Tariffs will include access to the 10,000 -square -foot Wellness Center and the Aging Clinic, led by Tony De Leedee, who possesses the first fitness exclusivity in Australia.
The center will be â € œopen 24/7 and includes a water gym, lap pool, meditation room, fitness classroom, relaxation pods, jacuzzi, steam room, breathing and meditation chairs, recovery massages, infrared sauna Red and more, say websites.
Other “Coloring” transports will be for some benefits such as shelf drinks and restaurant at the end of dining on deck 16. If you want â € cvintage champagne French and 90 years old Wagyu, prepare to do even more.
The company says 80% of all menu for its 20 eating and grass options, cafes, wine grass, hair salt and bath are included in the annual fee.
Medical care on a navigation residence
It was not that long act that the navigation ships around the world became Petri’s dishes for Covid-19, with some adrifts per day or even weeks as they searched for port.
“In the case of something like Pandemi, we will fix the route to avoid countries or regions with confirmed occasions [and] Approval procedures to keep residents safe, CEO of storytelling Alister D. Punton says Realtor.com.
These safety procedures will include high touch points between people on board, limiting movement in and out of the ship, growing cleaning and vaccines available on board as they can be obtained.
Each apartment will have an HVAC unit to prevent the recycling of contacted air, along with continuous filtering and sterilization of all air in the usual areas of the ship.
Residents will also have room sensors and monitoring of health clothing to measure body temperature, blood pressure and other levels. If a resident falls, the monitor will warn the staff. There will also be an area of infection control to shelter patients and prevent the spread of the disease.
Those who may need serious “as an operation” will be taken by helicopter at the nearest continent hospital.
Kilgore, which will be in Medicare at the time she sails, says the idea of the sick while in the middle of the ocean does not disturb her.
“I’ve been around and I’m sick in other places,” she says. “I really don’t worry about it.â €
Traveling alone while females
While the story scenes can say that there are figures of how many women are in the male, there is a good chance that more solo women are on board than men.
One main reason is that women simply live longer than men, secondly for a variety of factors. According to Harvard Medical School, 57% of all those aged 65 and older are female. At the age of 85, this goes up to 67% women. On average, women live five years longer than men.
“It is not difficult to see the gender gap among the elderly,” wrote Dr. Robert H. Shmerling, an old faculty editor. “A look around most nursing homes or assisted lifestyle facilities in the SH.BA often tells history: women will usually overcome men, and the size of change is often strike.
After a divorce, more women than men stay single, with about 76% of women choosing to remain unfulfilled, against only 62% of men, according to a 2019 study.
â € œmen need someone to take care of them, I think, â € kilgore says. My son and my son and I were traveling through Europe, back and staying in guesthouses. There were so many women and girls, and many of them from the topics.
â € Maybebe We are simply more adventurous.â €
