From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


MV Narrative is a residential cruise ship built and owned by the Miami-based shipbuilding company Storylines.[1][2][3][4] It will be launched in 2025 from Croatia.[3][5]

The vessel consists of 547 residences and various amenities.[3][1] It is designed to sail across six continents, allowing residents to use their units as temporary or permanent homes.[3][1] Units range from one to four bedrooms, most with balconies, and are available in coastal or contemporary interior designs.[3][1] The ship features twenty restaurants and bars, a microbrewery, three pools, a bowling alley, fitness and medical facilities, and other amenities.[6][1] A youth education program is also provided for children on board.[3] All-inclusive fees, which cover, housekeeping, gratuities, laundry service, meals, and Wi-Fi are mandatory.[3][7]

Construction[edit]

Storylines signed a construction contract with Brodosplit Shipyard in Split, Croatia, to build MV Narrative, which will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).[8][9] The contract with Brodosplit Shipyard was renewed in March 2024, with the ship's design completed in preparation for construction.[10][11]
