The World: Wealthy Owners Pay $2m - $15m for a 'Home' on Ship Set to Visit Killybegs

The World which is one of the most unique ships to ever visit Killybegs is set to dock at the Donegal port next month.

The largest purely residential ship on earth is paying its first ever visit to this county.

On board will be some of the super-rich owners. In essence, this is a vessel with 165 homes onboard - made up of 106 apartments, 19 studio apartments, and 40 studios - that are all privately owned.

Occasionally, some of the homes come onto the market and can typically fetch anything between $2 million - €15 million.

On top of that, there is also an annual charge.

The World continually circumnavigates the globe visiting some of the most intriguing destinations and taking the time to explore location in depth, with longer stays in port than most cruise ships.

To read more of The World's two week long visit that is to include other Irish ports of call, DonegalLive has more to report.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
