America World City

America World City (originally named Phoenix World City) is a concept for a floating city proposed by John Rogers of World City Corporation. It is conceived as the first of three such behemoths serving United States ports and flying the U. S. Flag. Rogers died in October, 2005.

According to the company's website:

:"Forty percent larger than the largest cruise ship afloat, this major new leisure industry product will make use of the oceans to serve multiple markets. Not only the $12-billion a year cruise market, but the $82-billion a year meeting and conference market, and the $150-billion-plus vacation, tourism, resort market."

:"The key is space. Space for larger accommodations, ...for more and larger facilities, ...for extensive programming in education, wellness, business, and entertainment. The city-ship will feature three hotel towers, a "downtown" of streets and boulevards lined with shops, restaurants, bars, bistros and cafes, entertainment facilities including a 2,000-seat theater, and an entire 100,000 sq. ft. conference world for the meeting market. A university, a health and wellness center, a world-class spa, even a TV production and broadcast center -- these and much, much more."

:"In the stern of the ship massive doors will open to reveal an internal marina, home port to four 400-passenger high-speed daycruisers that will ferry guests to and from the ship even while she is underway and serve even the smallest ports and coastal destinations."
