From one apartment complex to the ends of the earth.

A wisecracking magical cruise ship picks up less fortunate kids and takes them around the world. The high tides and abundance of pirates are the only obstacles from preventing smooth sailing trips.

Synopsis

The kids live in a town that's a mixture of Florida and Chicago. Every day after school while traveling to their apartment complex the gang walks pass an abandoned junkyard by the harbor. In this junkyard lies a gigantic colorful Cruise Ship which appears to have not moved in a century. Unbeknownst to the children, this cruise ship is going to show them a world they didn't know existed.
