This is a pet project of mine, hopefully one that I'll live to see happen. I have a rather large number of ideas for it...
The basic setup is a combination between a school ship and a cruise ship. certifications would be available for anyone who wants to take an onboard exam. the exams should be stringent, but entirely an optional aspect for passengers and crew
gardening would be encouraged, and the surface of the ship would be covered in vegitation (the exact nature of the vegitation would be up to the crew, but fruit trees and flowers seem the most obvious). Mushroom farms would be used on lower levels to help process human waste.
Ships would be Hydrogen powered, and able to produce their own fuel from seawater. I am trying to collect more information on the feasability of hurricane towers as an actual energy source when at sea. In any case, cold-water technology would be used for air conditioning and irrigation, as well as a source for fresh water.
Ideally, passengers and crew would take some basic medical courses while on the seas, and perform philanthropic work in third world countries, but this would be up to the crew and how it decides to promote its cruises.
they say your life's ambition should never be to build ships. Oh well... I'll be back to add to this one.

I am donating $1 000 towards this project. Anyone who can post a plan for this sort of ship good enough to interest one serious investor (more than $1 000) either gets the money outright or (if they're the investor) may add this to whatever starting capitol all interested parties bring to the table.
Anyone who does not wish to invest money, but thinks this is a worthwhile project, is encouraged to leave links where we can research this further.
