The World, a cruise ship owned by its residents, has been spending time in Douglas Bay.
Its passengers are more than guests on board: they own apartments on the vessel.
Some live on the 43,500 ton vessel full-time, while others visit their floating home as it circumnavigates the globe.
The vessel has 165 apartments, carries up to 300 people at a time, and stays in most ports for two to three days.
She is a first time caller to the Isle of Man, and is operated by Florida-based ResidenSea.
The World was due to set sail for her next port of call on Friday morning.
