People ask - what sets Storylines apart from world cruises? Why are we so different than vacation cruise ships? That's easy! Our vessel is made for residential life at sea. It's the vehicle that enables a lifestyle of wonder and discovery. We don't have a high turnover of guests frequently coming and going. We have a tight-knit community of curious and adventurous owner residents who want to see the world. It's a community that puts health and wellness above all-you-can-eat-buffets. It's a ship that prioritizes environmental sustainability over excessive waste. It's a lifestyle of discovery and lifelong learning, not a vacation with frozen cocktails and plastic swords. It's spending up to a week in ports for true cultural immersion, not trying to see it all in a matter of hours. It's a commitment to preserving the seas on which we sail and giving back to the communities we visit along the way on our epic maritime journey.
