Booking and Tickets

Who is the Nomad Cruise for?

We are looking for creative, productive and passionate people at different stages of their digital nomadism/remote working. Nomad Cruise is for beginners as well as for pros because we believe that we all have different talents, and we can all learn from each other.

We always have a heterogeneous group concerning age, gender, nationality, experience, skills and interests, yet homogenous concerning open-mindedness and choice of the nomadic/remote working lifestyle.

While many participants typically range from 25 to 50, we warmly welcome nomads of all ages, whether younger or older!

If you haven’t booked yet and want to join us on our next cruise, please do so soon. Keep in mind that chances to get better deals are higher if you book early. Early bookings will also get the best cabins.

Can I join on my own?

Sure you can! We make it super easy for you to connect with the other participants, so we promise you won’t be alone for too long. Most of the participants who join us for the first time come alone and leave with hundreds of new friends. If you prefer privacy, you can book a single cabin, and if you would like to share your room with another participant, we will match you with someone of the same gender and similar age.

Can I share my cabin with other participants?

We do offer shared cabins with another Nomad Cruise participant. Each cabin can have a setup with two separate beds. By providing shared cabins, we can get more people on board, you can save some bucks on your ticket, plus you’ll have a friend from the very first day. You can either make a suggestion of who you would like to share your cabin with or we will choose another lovely participant of the same sex for you.

Can I bring my partner/family along?

You are welcome to bring your partner along and share your cabin with them. You can choose a cabin with either a large double bed or two separate beds.

Both of you will need to book a shared cabin separately and mention each other’s full name in the check-out form when we ask if you have anyone to share your cabin with.

Family bookings:

You can share a cabin with up to 4 people. Infants must be at least twelve (12) months old on the date of embarkation for Transocean crossings.

Simply send an email to [email protected] if you would like to book for your family.

Is the ticket for the cruise tax deductible?

Are there any restrictions?

There are a few restrictions in the cruise line’s policy which we have to abide by:

- Women cannot have begun their 24th week of pregnancy at any time before or during the cruise. If you are pregnant or sailing with a guest who is pregnant they must provide a physician’s letter stating the expected due date, medical fitness to travel and the pregnancy is not high risk.

- Due to international restrictions imposed by cruise companies, citizens of Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Yemen and Cuba are only allowed on board if they have a residency certificate in a country not listed above.

- For solo travellers the minimum age to join is 21 years.

What happens after booking?

To book your spot, select your favorite cabin type, fill out the form and pay the deposit/full amount to confirm your booking.

Once you’ve booked, you will receive access to our Cruise Wiki, offering even more information to help you plan your cruise in advance.

The full ticket price only needs to be paid 90 days before departure. Once you fully paid for your ticket, we send you a confirmation along with your final invoice.

About 45 days prior to departure you will also be invited to our online community, so you can connect with other participants and plan your trip together.

What should I do if the cabin I want to book is not available?

We have limited cabins for this trip, and while we can’t promise anything, we are working on making more cabins available.

If your preferred cabin category is not available, you are welcome to sign up to our waitlist and we’ll let you know in case we have a spot for you.

If you’re flexible with the cabin category and want to make sure you don’t miss out on the adventure, we recommend booking the closest category to your preferred choice, and if we can, we will update your booking to your favorite cabin type. Simply leave a note about your preference in the booking notes.

How can I contribute to the program?

Speaking on stage at Nomad Cruise is one of the best ways to show your expertise to other members of our great online-entrepreneur community.

As a skill-sharing conference, we do not offer any compensation for the talks/workshops – we are looking for voluntary contributions.

You can find all the information about giving a talk or workshop on board and apply here.

If you are not chosen as a keynote speaker or workshop facilitator, we still encourage you to be an active part of the program. Organize your own meetup on your specific topic or participate in the various special events we host (e.g. talent show, mastermind).

Do you have a refund policy?

Before Departure

Passport and visa requirements

Nomad Cruise cannot be held liable for insufficient travel documents.

All passengers, including children and babies, must have their personal documentation (passport, visas or national identification document) in order according to the country or countries we are going to visit. You must research if with your nationality you need a visa for any of the stops of the given itinerary. To research visa requirements we recommend VisaHQ or Passport Index.

All passports must be valid for at least 6 months after arrival.

Insurance

Emergency

Do you have advice on booking our flights?

When should I arrive before the cruise?

Most cruisers will arrive to the departure city 1-7 days before the cruise starts. One day before departure we organize a welcome party which is not to be missed!

If you can only make your way to the departure city on the day of departure, we recommend arriving early that day so you can make it to the ship in time. We recommend having a printed version of your boarding documents on hand, as you might be asked to show them when entering the port territory.

If you check in early, you can have free lunch on board.

Any suggestions about accommodation in the city of departure?

Are there any luggage restrictions?

What to bring?

We have been on many cruises by now, and they all have been a little bit different. Our recommendations are based on our experience, and obviously, you know best what you will need on top of that.

For the Conference

- Bring your own pens and paper. Yes, we’re all super digital and stuff, but honestly, taking notes on paper sometimes is just more convenient.

- The outlets in the cabins accommodate standard U.S. and EU devices, please bring power adapters if needed.

- Bring a multi-socket.

- Bring all the material you may need for a meetup or mastermind session. We will provide the material for speakers of the curated program.

For Cruise Life

- Bring jackets, layers, wraps or thin scarves for the evening jam sessions on board. You can wear what you wish to wear, however in the evenings shorts, pool and beachwear, distressed jeans and tank tops are not permitted in table service restaurants. There will be at least one Captain’s Dinner, where many of the general passengers will dress up more or less glamorously. You choose whether or not you want to go all suit and tie or cocktail dress.

- Earplugs for a good night’s sleep.

- Bring your own yoga mat if you want to participate in the on board yoga sessions.

- There have been themed nights before. ‘All white’, ‘Tropical’, ‘Pirates’, ‘Rock’n’Roll’, ’70ies’ and so on. We usually don’t stick to the rules more than necessary, but if you really care: prepare for this.

- Bring one or two swimsuits. With all the networking and socializing and conference going on, you will enjoy some downtime at the pool.

- Bring sunscreen.

- Bring your own meds. We are not allowed to give out any medication. We recommend a carry-on pharmacy with band aids, cold-meds, Ibuprofen, Voltaren, motion sickness meds, and the like. Bring hand sanitizer. There will also be dispensers around, and we highly encourage using them. In a narrow space like a boat, germs spread quickly, and it’s on you to do what you can to stay healthy. For the female members of the group, we recommend bringing tampons. Everything you have to buy on board will be ridiculously expensive. And parents: bring enough diapers.

- Bring books, music, small board games.

Nomad Cruise Program

What is a typical day like on Nomad Cruise?

One of the fun things about Nomad Cruise is that there is something different going on every day. In the beginning, we focus a lot on breaking the ice between our participants. While that’s not too hard, as they are carefully selected through our application process, it’s an important part to develop the community vibe early on.

We start the days with a big breakfast, then our curated conference program begins with talks, different workshops and mastermind sessions. These can be inspirational events or full-on business oriented. There are sessions on SEO, programming, marketing, finance but also on breathing, relaxation, relationships and balance. Talks are open to the entire group, while workshops are limited to smaller groups to make them engaging and more hands-on.

We use the late afternoons for meet-ups, mastermind sessions, relaxation by the pool or to make use of the leisure facilities on board, go to the gym, for a run or play basketball. Everybody can organize their own events at this time, and the outcome is often mind-blowing.

In the evening we meet again for dinner, which is usually wild with all the stories people have to tell about their days, followed by special evening activities like themed parties or our famous talent show.

Are there going to be other people on the ship besides our group?

So many days on a ship, is that not boring?

After Arrival

What happens after the cruise? Is the trip over or do people continue to travel together?

We suggest not to make early flight arrangements for the day of arrival, because disembarkation can take a while. In general we can encourage you to stick around at least one week after the cruise and discover amazing destinations together with us.

As we always say, Nomad Cruise is really just the beginning. After our arrival, everything changes. Suddenly you have a global network of new friends, new potential business partners, travel companions, and soulmates. Many team up and travel together or meet in different places. We will also organize some informal meet-ups within the first 2 weeks after our arrival. More information on our plans will follow but we can already recommend to stay for a few weeks after our arrival if it suits your calendar!
