A new venture is promoting the former Pacific Dawn of P&O Cruises Australia as a floating business community, the company in question says on its website.

To be called Satoshi, the ship will offer 777 cabin condos plus fitness and medical facilities. “We are passionate crypto entrepreneurs and we wanted to create a place for blockchain (and non-blockchain) enthusiasts to live and work in crypto friendly environment. All onboard businesses will accept bitcoin, US dollar sand other forms of payment,” Ocean Builders, the company behind the venture, says.

The first 100 cabins would go for auction on 5 November, it said.

The ship had been sold to a Greek company that was to long term time charter it to Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) in the UK, but the sale fell through following the collapse of CMV in the summer.
