The Freedom Ship, which is currently only in the planning stages, is an entirely at-sea community, where you can live, shop, work, and play without ever setting foot on land.
According to the designers, this ship would be larger than the Queen Mary at 4,500 feet long and 750 feet wide. It would constantly be on the move, circling the world (see the map here). The top level is reserved for small aircraft that would transport people to and from the "floating city".
Lifted from their site, the objectives of the Freedom Ship are to:
- Provide a unique, traveling residential community, combining the amenities of a modern city with those of the finest resorts, in an attractive, stimulating, and secure environment.
- Create a vigorous commercial community whose privately owned and operated on board enterprises will sell their products and services worldwide.
- Establish the world's largest duty-free retail shopping mall and bring it to markets around the world with a steady and substantial stream of resident and visiting customers.
- Develop the standard in education (US grades K through 12) for the entire world.
- Provide the residents and crew with the finest healthcare facilities and plans possible.
