Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent 10 months living on cruise ships AS A PASSENGER.

I wanted to make sure I could take off as many different experiences in as many different parts of the world as I could during that 10-month window.

I was really limited by solo supplements because I was doing 85 or 90% of my ships solo.

I decided to spend a few nights on land between almost every ship just to ground myself and to get ready to get back on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Work with a good and reputable travel agent for long-term cruising.
Base yourself in cities with high cruise ship traffic to find better deals.
Consider interior cabins to save money and afford more cruises.
Plan for off-peak travel times to reduce costs and avoid crowds.
Make yourself cost-neutral on land by canceling unused subscriptions and renting out your property.
