A married couple, who love their holidays, have claimed living at sea is more cost-effective than running a house.
Retired Angelyn Burk and her husband Richard have said they save lots of money by spending months at a time on luxury cruise ships.
The pair have already signed up to 86 days on board the five-star cruise liners this year.
They say it actually saves them money after picking up some great deals with the cost of living soaring around the globe.
Their travel plans for 2022 will take them to Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada, Alaska, Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam, report Mirror Online.
They say they love ocean life and have already explored some fantastic places together - so wanted to get more out of life.
More and more retired couples are spending their later years on the cruise liners with the price of assisted living also on the rise.
Angelyn says it costs less than $90 per day for both of them - around £32 each.
“We have secured 86 cruise days with an average all-in cost of $89 per day for both of us,” she told CNN.
“That includes room, food, entertainment, transportation, gratuity, port fees and taxes.”
“When planning out cruises, I try to stay on the same ship as long as possible, as long as it is cost-effective.
“Where else can you have your resort take you to different countries while relaxing by the pool or sleeping in a comfortable bed?”
Colleen McDaniel, editor-in-chief of the website Cruise Critic, says it could actually work out a lot cheaper the older you get.
“Assisted living is not a cheap proposition. It costs thousands and thousands of dollars a month, depending on where you’re staying,” the journalist said.
“So cruising is potentially a far more cost-effective way to retire.”
Royal Caribbean International have at least two passengers who lived aboard their ships full-time.
They became celebrities in cruising circles - and more and more people are considering jumping on board.
