Condo owners can live on the ship or rent their properties through Storylines.

After the vessel is sold, Storylines will distribute the proceeds among the owners.

Cabin sizes range from 235 ft2 (22 m2, inside and oceanview) to 2410 ft2 (224 m2). As of 2021, monthly service fees range between USD 4,770 and 9,600 per person and include onboard dining and entertainment, as well as all operational costs (maintenance, repairs, fuel, port fees, gratuities, professional crew, and financial reserves for unforeseen expenses).

Standard amenities in all staterooms include smart HDTVs (premium satellite package, Wi-Fi Internet, wireless surround sound system), electronic safes, adjustable mood lighting, double beds with queen-size luxury mattresses, under-bed storage (drawers), bedside cabinets, wall-mounted reading lamps, motorized Murphy beds, spacious wardrobes with large mirrors, 4-seat tables, contemporary designer furniture, and luxury bathrooms (wall-hung WC toilet, glass-door shower, single or double vanity with storage).

RU3-RU4-RU5 (tier 3-4-5) condos feature a dedicated workspace (small room with LAN point, high-speed Internet, phone), double sofas (convertible 3-seater couches), walk-in closets, two bathrooms (Master and Guest, one with bathtub), and a dining area (with dry bar, wet bar, 4-seat table, buffet cabinets).
