Living the Voyage: Crescent Seas Introduces Luxury Residences at Sea
April 25, 2025Crescent Seas, a groundbreaking venture by Crescent Heights, is reimagining luxury living by offering permanent residences aboard cruise ships. Blending high-end real estate with global exploration, the project creates floating residential communities for those seeking comfort, adventure, and sophistication.
The first ship, Navigator, will launch in December 2026 following a $70 million renovation of the former Seven Seas Navigator. It will feature 210 luxury residences. A second ship, Insignia, will debut in 2027 with 290 residences after a $50 million upgrade. Prices range from $650,000 to $10 million, catering to discerning buyers seeking a refined and mobile lifestyle.
These vessels offer world-class amenities, including private butler service, Starlink high-speed internet, expansive wellness centers, spa facilities, pickleball courts, and gourmet dining. Residents will also enjoy **extended port stays—up to five days—**on all seven continents. Hospitality will be managed by the esteemed Apollo Group, ensuring a consistent standard of five-star service.
Crescent Seas is spearheaded by Russell Galbut, a visionary behind Crescent Heights, who envisions a new era of seaborne luxury living. The initiative redefines upscale real estate by transforming traditional cruise experiences into year-round residences.
Interested buyers can explore the Crescent Seas lifestyle at the sales gallery on the 8th floor of the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences at 159 NE 6th Street, Miami. The gallery features interactive tools, virtual tours, and personalized consultations to immerse prospective residents in life aboard fully.
