IS this the next big thing in cruise?
Billionaire founder of the money transfer
system PayPal, Peter Thiel, has announced
plans to create floating cities.
Bigger than the Allure of the Seas, the plans
would see whole “nations” constructed on
giant floating platforms bobbing around in
international waters.
Thiel envisions his water-worlds would be
governed under “libertarian ideals” and
could become a reality as early as next year.
The plans are enough to make Kevin Costner
point and say “I told you so”, with Thiel
claiming that the water-worlds are “the only
option to creating new societies on earth”.
So far he has invested an estimated $1.2m
into the plan, and says the first nation could
be constructed in the waters off San Francisco.
