This budget room is deep in the bowels of the ship, so don’t expect any sea-views, balconies or other premium trimmings.

Away from your sleeping area, you’ll have ample opportunity to utilize your $60,000 annual living fees. That’s because the MV Narrative is packed with everything you’d find on any other luxury liner worth its salt.

Across the MV Narrative’s 18 decks you’ll find three pools, one helipad and countless bars, restaurants and other ways to spend your time at sea.

Onboard, there will be a private marina at the rear of the ship, various communal spaces throughout, outdoor lounges for any plebs that can’t afford a balcony and even a microbrewery.

Anyone living on-board will also be able to visit the spa, library, arcade and theater.

At the time of writing, just 189 of the 548 residences remain available. So, if you’re this way inclined it might be time to have your butler set up a meeting with the ship’s captain.
