Living Life on a Cruise description on YouTube:

🌍🚢 Welcome to Living Life on a Cruise! We’re Lanette and Johan — 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 you’ll find: • Real-life cost of living comparisons (cruise life vs life on land) • Daily life aboard a residential cruise ship • Immersive 4K walking tours of ports, cities, islands, and cruise destinations • Local food, wildlife, and cultural experiences • Behind-the-scenes ship life and routines Our walking tours are filmed naturally and unedited so you can experience destinations as if you’re walking there yourself — no narration, no rush. Whether you’re curious about residential cruising, considering full-time life at sea, or simply love slow travel and immersive exploration, you’re in the right place. Come sail with us 🌊✨
