Regarding her being a Private Yacht, you might be right there Crawford.

One of her first Captains was an Ex Royal Viking Line Captain, I can not think of his name at the moment.

The World is not a cruise ship private or otherwise. She is a privately owned residential yacht, the largest in the world. She does not have cabins as such, but homes owned by the residents who together own the vessel.

MS The World
Privately Owned Residential Yacht
The World is the largest privately owned residential yacht. The residents, from about 45 countries, live on board as the ship travels, staying in most ports several days. Some residents choose to live on board full-time while others visit periodically throughout the year. It is operated by ROW Management, Ltd., headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
