Inside world’s 1st 3-year cruise around the globe l GMA

[@jc1400]

this is 2750.00 a month, with all food and utilities included. If you work remotely, this would be epic. People saying they couldn't live on the ship for 3 years, yet live in the same house or apartment for longer. The rooms are bigger than a college dorm, with private bath. You are in port every few days, you can get off, explore, see new things, then come back home and move to the next place. I wish I could do this.

[@CarolNguyen-r6w]

That's what I'm saying...this might be on my bucket list

[@rainstorm571]

Nah cruises are exhausting, I would need a trial period before I committed

[@AntoinetteD]

I would do this in 20 years lol... don't think we could tolerate this with our kids

[@CuteNP]

Very true good points made

[@PinkPiratePanda]

I live in the same house for half the price and I build equity. I also can travel away from my home whenever I want.

$33 k a year to eat, live and travel....actually a good deal

[@melodramatic7904]

It is. I took a 3-month round the world cruise and it cost me $20 k. 33k for a whole year! That's amazing.

[@abc123fhdi]

sell you house and live on the boat remotely working, cheaper than living on land and all food included.

[@KOKOBC]

Literally lower than my yearly tuition, and by a lot😂

[@enzhus]

I think that's only the base price. It doesn't include port tax and daily service fee yet. I guess that will make price to $50K. If you want to have meal, drink package and WIFI, I think it will be $80K at least.

[@RonLarhz]

How does it only cost 1/3 or less of RC cruise for 1 year.

[@SydneyChandler]

On paper, this sounds pretty good. But there's no way I could last 3 years on a cruise ship. 2 weeks tops and that's pushing it.

[@jaxnebcharfski2863]

You realize you travel the world and make stops right? You don’t spend the whole three years on the ship😂 I swear to god I’m running in and talking to the dumbest people now a days!! Cmon!

[@zesolodar]

they stop at actual port for a few days or weeks at a time, also so you can fly out of the port your in and fly back to where the ship is. plus youll save alot of money

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

Yeah, I am surprised at how small the boat is. That would probably make me sick.

[@isaac198428]

It’s actually amazing for a young person *if you break down that $33,000 monthly (it’s $2,750) since food, utilities and rent are included. Even room furniture* . Waking up in a new port or country every few weeks is amazing if you work remotely. Not the mention the fact that you can invite close friends/family over to stay in the guest rooms for a few if lonely. Heck you’d make plenty of new friends along the way.

[@skyak4493]

I suspect that is per person, double occupancy.

[@skyak4493]

It is per person in a double. $45k for a single.

[@dani23dani85]

What if I get fired after the first year 😂😂

[@bakaichigo]

🤣🤣🤣 "Only" 2,750$/Month maybe... Oi what young people are able to afford that? I can tell you *_not most of them._* In my country (Canada) most people under 30 aren't even able to afford to rent some arm-pit-stain broken-down dumpster of an "apartment" (if they can even find one available at all) right now. I work a job that is "well above minimum wage" - corporate and salaried, fully remote... And the cost of this ship per year is still WELL over my yearly salary BEFORE taxes and deductibles. Most young professionals are barely able to make 33,000 a year all said, nevermind making enough after taxes to actually afford this. :'D I have no doubt plenty of people over 35 could afford this, but what "young people" who are working and need to worry about an income at all (IE: not rich kids, actual working people who have to make their own income and worry about it running out on them) could possibly afford this?? :'D I'm with the sales lady - I am absolutely shocked they're getting any significant number of people under 30 at all. O_o

[@mewho8714]

The price is phenomenal considering it covers lodging, food, and travel.

[@danlaser17]

Hi Mandy, I am looking for a travel partner for this trip. Are you in? Dan

[@hobgoblin4614]

$33K per year to travel, eat, and vacation/sighseeing sounds to be a tremendous value. In a lot of US cities you are paying nearly $2K in rent a month.

[@lamar310]

Once you break it down...it is a good deal. A trip to Hawaii or Vegas for a month would cost way over $2K with food

[@ometofu]

$2k? More like 5k

[@Day-tm2pb]

In Miami you found a bargain if you only pay 2k for an apartment 😅so 2750 for all inclusive is truly cheap. The only down side is you have to have it all up front. Other than that is a great deal

[@jl1695]

Yup and with 2k in rent you cant even enjoy your life 😂😂😂😂

[@skyak4493]

That's the minimum/person double occupancy. $45k for a single. I think anyone signing on thinking they will spend less than $50k will be very disappointed.

Same... If I WERE making enough at my job (which is entirely remote) I would do this in a heartbeat! But only if I could tour the ship first, the same way I'd want to tour a new apartment unit or something if I were looking to move in to one.

[@Devilishlybenevolent]

[@michellekelley5848]

My concern is the many crew members...on a normal cruise they work 12 hous a day..7 days a week... and it's hard work. Surely they don't expect someone to work like that for 3 years straight...a follow up on that topic would be great.

[@kristinasaeli804]

I used to work onboard cruise ships as a crew member and everyone onboard has different contract lengths and different vacation lengths depending on the department you work for. If you’re on a three year cruise as a guest or in the case as a digital nomad/ remote worker, the crew will change while onboard including switching between captains

[@jjupiter1218]

I couldn’t imagine living on a boat for that long and half the people there are technically on vacation so they’ll feel entitled. My heart goes out to whoever is on the crew

There was a ship that was supposed to be out for a year and then the pandemic hit. I don't know what happened with the cruise but it must have been a nightmare.

The sea is a pretty dynamic and changing place, it can be very turbulent to even the most experienced sailors. Storms can come out of nowhere, large waves out of nowhere, etc... I'm fine being on a normal cruise ship but wouldn't trust something like this.
