The World is a ship serving as a residential community owned by its residents. The residents from about 40 different countries live on board as the ship slowly circumnavigates the globe—staying in most ports from 2 to 5 days. Some residents live on board full time while others visit their floating home periodically throughout the year. It is operated by ResidenSea headquartered in Miramar Florida. At one time ResidenSea's headquarters were in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.
