Ocean Living Reimagined: Inside Avora Residences

Ocean living is no longer a vacation fantasy reserved for a week-long cruise — it is becoming a genuine housing category. A new wave of companies is letting buyers purchase a cabin on a cruise ship and use it as a permanent address rather than a holiday cabin. At the front of this movement is Avora, whose flagship brand, Avora Residences, is converting a classic ocean liner into a community of private, deeded homes that sail the globe year-round. This article looks at what ocean living actually means today, how Avora Residences works, and what prospective owners should know before considering a cabin on a cruise ship as their next home.
