Living Life on a Cruise description on YouTube:

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿšข Welcome to Living Life on a Cruise! Weโ€™re Lanette and Johan โ€” a couple living full-time aboard a residential cruise ship with a 15-year cabin guarantee, exploring the world one port at a time. We traded traditional life on land for a floating home and share what everyday life is really like living at sea. On this channel youโ€™ll find: โ€ข Real-life cost of living comparisons (cruise life vs life on land) โ€ข Daily life aboard a residential cruise ship โ€ข Immersive 4K walking tours of ports, cities, islands, and cruise destinations โ€ข Local food, wildlife, and cultural experiences โ€ข Behind-the-scenes ship life and routines Our walking tours are filmed naturally and unedited so you can experience destinations as if youโ€™re walking there yourself โ€” no narration, no rush. Whether youโ€™re curious about residential cruising, considering full-time life at sea, or simply love slow travel and immersive exploration, youโ€™re in the right place. Come sail with us ๐ŸŒŠโœจ
