Crescent Seas: The future of luxury residences at sea

Crescent Seas

An innovative concept from Crescent Heights

Crescent Seas marks a true revolution in the cruise industry by offering luxury private residences on the high seas. Developed by Crescent Heights, one of the most prestigious real estate developers in the United States, this project offers travel enthusiasts and yachting lovers a unique opportunity: to live aboard an exceptional ship while traveling the world.

Unlike traditional cruises, Crescent Seas residents are not just passengers, but owners. This model allows for extended immersion in exceptional destinations, with stopovers of two to three days, offering a true itinerant lifestyle rather than just a one-off trip.

Navigator: a renovation worthy of luxury

A $50 million transformation

To launch Crescent Seas, the ship Navigator acquired in partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. will undergo a complete renovation costing over $50 million. Three renowned design firms – Lissoni & Partners, Journey and MAWD – will work on this transformation to offer a sumptuous and elegant living environment.

Exceptional residences worth up to $8 million

The Navigator will offer 210 residences priced from $750,000 to $8 million. Each unit will be designed to reflect exclusivity and refinement, with interior spaces designed for absolute comfort.

Top-of-the-range services and optimum connectivity

Residents will enjoy amenities worthy of the finest hotels, with personalized butler service and a Starlink connection to ensure high-performance Internet access, ideal for telecommuting and distance learning.

Bonaire: 3,700 hectares of salt marshes conceal a history of slavery

At the southern tip of Bonaire, a Dutch-speaking island in the Caribbean, the salt marshes stretch out in pink and white basins across nearly 3,700 hectaresโ€”thirteen percent of the islandโ€™s total area. This postcard view, photographed every year by thousands of visitors from the coastal road, hides a history dating back more than five centuries, the story of salt that shaped Bonaireโ€™s economy and, for two hundred years, the lives of hundreds of enslaved people. Along EEG Boulevard, which runs along the southern coast of Bonaire, mountains of white salt come into view kilometers before you reach them. Each contains about 10,000 metric tons of salt that is 99.6% pure, piled nearly 15 meters high, with up to 200,000 metric tons stored at any given time. Their whiteness, so intense that you need to keep sunglasses handy, stands in stark contrast to the pink of the neighboring pools. The salt

European Heritage Days 2026: Martinique Opens Its Archives.

With just four days to go before the 2026 European Heritage Days , scheduled for September 19 and 20, this press conference already feels like a journey across Martiniqueโ€”from its Creole huts to its lighthouses, from Saint-Pierre to the monuments we sometimes pass by without really noticing them. European Heritage Days 2026: A Lively Conference Johan-Hilel Hamel, Martiniqueโ€™s director of cultural affairs, opened the meeting without putting on airs. He even warned that the evening would not be a long monologue. The conversation quickly began to flow.

S3/10 โ€“ Stories of Caribbean Cinema: Two Perspectives on the Year 1980. Texts by Guillaume Robillard. Ciclic, 2026.

With this third episode, *Stories of Caribbean Cinema* moves into the 1980s. The first two installments covered Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guadeloupe, from the 1960s through the emergence of Caribbean cinema. This time, two films made in the same year take radically different directions. In Jamaica, *Children of Babylon* explores romantic, sexual, and racial relationships with unusual freedom. In Guadeloupe, *Live Free or Die* draws on several centuries of history centered on the legacy of Commander Ignace. This article is the third installment in a series of ten. Two installments have already been published, and seven more will follow in this chronology of Caribbean cinema. 1980: JAMAICA โ€“ “CHILDREN OF BABYLON”, BY LENNIE LITTLE-WHITE This film is unique in Jamaican cinema and, more broadly, in Caribbean cinema as a whole. Far from the social deprivation of Kingstonโ€™s ghettos, in a villa in the countryside (complete with a swimming
