COVER STORY
operation of the ships and the comfort and enjoyment of the owners. The ships are owned for just 15 years at which time they are sold and the sales proceeds distributed back to the owners.
THIS BESPOKE LUXURY OPERATION MUST COME AT A COST? The initial purchase cost of a share is $81,056 with an annual operating cost thereafter of $8,395 per year (based on today’s costs) which entitles each owner to a 2 week, all inclusive cruise for 2 people per year. At the end of the 15 years the ship is sold and the sales proceeds distributed back to the owners. Where Pacific Star truly stands out from the crowd is they will invest from their own funds $21 million into a guaranteed deferred annuity that allows them to offer a Loyalty Repayment Plan to the owners,
payment of which is added to the sales proceeds of the ship, which based on today’s costs and projections would net down the costs of ownership over the 15 years to just £35.00 per person per night based on a 14 days cruise each year. This is truly remarkable and only achievable through ownership. Owners still have to have a certain amount of liquidity to initially buy into the ship and pay the operating costs each year but can
look forward to a large repayment at the conclusion of the 15 years of ownership.
