They will probably fly a flag of convenience. No state actor (well, maybe North Korea) will attack what is basically a cruise ship. Pirates might be a problem.

But then they will be subject to the flag's laws, which seems to be something they don't want. Breaking off, once they've flown a flag would be difficult.
