Best way is to scrap them and recycle the material for something more functional. Stationary use of aging cruise ships as floating hotel, shopping...

Dear Joolkano, your concept sounds more like a strategy to sell someone a mortgage on the boat than a serious strategy to keep the costs for the...
For sale, slightly used, where is, as is... needs bottom done soon.
As a floating office it might be quite funny if you add a ponton to sit outside...
Well, you´re probably not the only one who hast seen boats that were more balanced (not only) aesthetically... :D
Obviuosly, to a certain degree it depends on whether you consider a boat a hobby, your only passion or your only possible way of life. You can...

Haha, don´t worry. Nobody is annoyed here by serious interest and seeking advice is welcome here. Perhaps there are one or two slightly sarcastic...
Cruising inland waterways is probably demanding in other aspects (locks, avoiding runing aground and wasting some props per season,...) but then...
Well, old salt, but you belong to a special breed... :D
I´d know a boat design that could meet your fantasy, including maximum speed and transatlantic range at 9 kts with maximum independance and all...
