The World is not just a cruise liner but an exquisite floating home to full-time residents wishing to have 'no fixed address' or to those who wish to jump aboard wherever she may be.

Here she sits comfortably in the port of Monaco, along side some of the most prestigious superyachts on show during the 21st Monaco Yacht Show. The four day event really does bring the world to Monaco in many ways. The yachting industry's finest people and companies from all over the world accumulate, mingle and boast about the best services and most luxurious brands with an eye watering price tag. Yachting is not for the faint hearted, especially where the wallet is concerned and the Monaco Yacht Show is hardcore yachting for those who want to impress. From the outside looking in, it is all very impressive and a world so far away.
