Luxury Living At Sea

Imagine a lifestyle where every sunrise brings a new view, and your home travels the world with you. That’s the promise of Crescent Seas, the new residential cruise line from real estate pioneer Russell Galbut. Known for transforming urban landscapes with Crescent Heights and with over 50 years of real estate experience, along with 23 years in the cruise industry, including six as chairman of the board at Norwegian Cruise Line, Galbut now embarks on a new journey, bringing luxury living to the open sea.

At the heart of this groundbreaking venture is the Navigator, a reimagined residential cruise ship set to debut in December 2026. Formerly the Regent Seven Seas Navigator, this vessel is undergoing a $50 million transformation to offer 210 private residences, each designed with elegance and comfort in mind. Prices ranging from $1.2 million to eight million, providing a range of options for discerning buyers. Residents will enjoy white-glove butler service, Starlink internet connectivity, and a host of amenities tailored for a life of adventure and relaxation.

With planned around-the-world itineraries that span over 140 cities across all seven continents, the experience offers a unique opportunity to see the world without ever leaving home. Unlike traditional cruises, Crescent Seas is designed for more meaningful travel with extended port stays of up to four days.

To bring this vision to life for future residents, Crescent Seas has opened an immersive 180-degree sales gallery in the heart of downtown Miami. Located on the eight floor of the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, the gallery offers a fully interactive experience, with virtual walk-throughs, tactile design elements, and expert consultations to help future residents explore the onboard lifestyle and what it is to own on the ship.

Galbut, whose portfolio includes some of the most iconic properties in Miami like Forma, Five Park, and beyond, sees Crescent Seas as the next evolution in luxury real estate. Rather than building on new land, he’s rethinking how people live, travel, and connect, blending the comforts of high-end living with the thrill of exploration. The homes at sea are designed not just as vacation properties, but as fully livable, luxury residences for those seeking the yachting lifestyle and who value flexibility and global experiences. It’s a vision where connection becomes community, and the world becomes your neighborhood.

With additional ships on the horizon, including the Insignia, from the Oceania NCL fleet, and the brand’s first new build, The Ocean, Crescent Seas is creating a new category of residential living for the globally minded and redefining what it means to live at sea. For a growing number of modern travelers, who’ve traded traditional homes for back-to-back cruises, life at sea isn’t just a dream, it’s a lifestyle. Crescent Seas is making that lifestyle not only possible but permanent, blending luxury and global access in a way the real estate world has never seen, promising freedom without compromise. A life of luxury set to sail December 2026.
