Aerie College Foundation charity will invest in a Cruise ship Cruising the Pacific and Vanuatu islands, escaping during the Winter months and out of Adelaide to Melbourne, Hobart, Three state Odyssey, Food and wine during the summer months to establish an Ocean Cruise Sea College providing skills training in all aspects of Cruise operations.
Berlin contains 206 passenger cabins, 158 Outside, 48 inside, and a hospital suite.
There are 92 crew cabins for the Hotel and Ship Maritime operations crew.
A professional ship's crew will operate "Berlin" and provide youth training.
Aerie College Board will be part of the management of the ship as a commercial cruise ship and youth Training ship in both Pacific Islands waters and on the Australian Coast.
Community members are invited to invest in shared ownership of the ship through the community member investment of $100 per night, Licence to Occupy (LLtO), for one berth night each year of membership.
There is a total of 148,000 LLtOs (Passenger Berth nights) available for purchase in this ship, generating sufficient capital for the Community to purchase the ship and relocate it to Australia.
Each berth night can be used or hired through ship administration by the Community member as long as they maintain community membership and own the LLtO.
Berth owners only pay the cruise services fees when they cruise.

"There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." ~ Kenneth Grahame "Wind in the Willows"
