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.
