Ever dreamed of life on the high seas, here’s your chance. I’m Brian Banmiller on Business.

Beginning in November, life at sea cruises will begin operating a three-year cruise around the world. For $30,000 per person per year you can live in a 130 sq. ft. stateroom. Of course, if you want to shell out a few thousand more dollars you can upgrade your living arrangements with a balcony or a few extra square feet. The trip begins in Istanbul but will also stop and pick up guests in Barcelona and Miami.  Over the course of three years you will travel over 130,000 miles to more than 300 ports all over the world. The ship will stop at all seven continents and give you time to explore some of the larger destinations. So, for places such as Beijing or Singapore, the ship will dock for up to seven nights. The company is trying to entice remote workers with the three-year trip by offering features including offices with wifi. Not a bad way to spend your work day.  Bon voyage.
