Nomad Cruise started in October 2015 and back then we couldn’t believe how much this crazy idea would grow. We are proud to look back at magical trips, an ever-growing community and experiences none of us will ever forget.

Antarctica Expedition '24

Antarctica Expedition ’24

From South America to Antarctica – and back :)

Nomad Cruise Antarctica Expedition set sail from Ushuaia in January 2024, offering 10 days of pure magic with a small group of 50 adventurous nomads on board.

Embarking from the southernmost city on Earth, we embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to explore the Antarctic Peninsula and the Shetland Islands.

Our days were filled with exhilarating landings and educational lectures from the expedition team, deepening our understanding of the natural wonders and wildlife encounters awaiting us. And what an experience it turned out to be! Picture penguin highways, napping leopard seals, and breaching humpback whales right next to our zodiacs.

Onboard, we took moments to bond over chess games, engaged in two exciting rounds of assassin, and enjoyed many hot-chocolate-infused discussions.

A few days after disembarking the ship, our community reunited in Buenos Aires with over 60 participants.

Nomad Cruise X

Nomad Cruise X

Athens, Greece – Dubai, UAE

Nomad Cruise X was our 10th, jubilee edition, designed especially for Nomad Cruise repeaters, therefore very special for us in many ways.
For this unique occasion, we introduced a new route in the direction of Asia, from Athens to Dubai, visiting 99% new and 100% amazing destinations on the way.

This 17 day adventure was full of skill-sharing, fun and networking. The stage was home to keynotes, talks and workshops, where experts spoke about a dedicated topic, but also to participants showcasing their special skills during our famous “Nomads Got Talent” Show or sharing their business ideas and getting valuable feedback during “Business Breakthrough” Sessions.

The journey was topped with amazing destinations to visit, such as Crete, the Suez Canal, Petra in Jordan or Muscat in Oman. After all this, we arrived in Dubai, where we spent a few days taking in the splendor of this vibrant city full of world record attractions. Then we packed our bags to go to our first reunion in Bangkok, from where we made our way to Koh Tao to spend Christmas together and cheer for 2020.

Nomad Cruise 9

Nomad Cruise 9

Barcelona, Spain – Recife, Brazil

On Nomad Cruise 9 we returned to our famous Transatlantic route, slow-travelling from DN hotspot Barcelona to Recife in Brazil.
This route is very close to our hearts so we happily did it for the third time – and our 300 participants couldn’t have supported this idea more:)

We began our journey in Barcelona, a digital nomad haven so to speak. There we hosted pre-cruise events so participants could get to know their #Tribe even before we departed. Our first stop was in Gibraltar, where we visited the famous Rock with all the wild monkeys and walked around the main street to have a glimpse at the everyday life there. Next we enjoyed some amazing views on the volcanic island of Tenerife, then visited Mindelo in Cape Verde for some kitesurfing, road-tripping and acro yoga on the beach with crystal clear waters in the background.
After all this, finalmente, we landed in Recife, but the fun continued after our arrival. Many cruisers – now friends – gathered in the little, dreamy beach town of Porto de Galinhas, or reunited in Jericoacoara and Florianopolis before finishing the trip with a big bang on New Year’s Eve at the beach of Copacabana.

Our 13-day trip was filled with an incredible networking and conference program – from business-related topics to personal growth. We even had an Academy Award winning producer on stage!
There were also plenty of opportunities for those who wanted to actively participate in the program, including 30-Second Pitches, Nomad Cruise Talent Show, Deep Connection Workshop, Piranha Tank, Speakup Challenge, and many more.

Nomad Cruise 8

Nomad Cruise 8

Las Palmas, Spain – Lisbon, Portugal

Nomad Cruise 8 was the 2nd edition of our European cruise. With more than 220 digital nomads and entrepreneurs on board, we had a blast sailing from one digital nomad haven to the other, discovering amazing destinations along the way.
Our first stop was on the beautiful island of Tenerife, where we visited the Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage site. From there we traveled on to Lanzarote to explore the Valley of a Thousand Palms.  Afterwards we dipped our toes into Africa as we visited Casablanca, then made one last stop in Càdiz, an ancient port city in the Andalusian region before reaching our final destination, Lisbon.

With only 7 days on board, Nomad Cruise 8 was shorter than our previous cruises, but not less fun at all! Our conference program was packed with excellent keynotes, talks and workshops, focusing on a different topic each day and we even enriched our program with two new events: the Speakers’ Challenge and the Business Break-Through Session. If you missed them this time, don’t worry – these new elements were a big success so they are here to stay!

Upon our arrival to Lisbon we simply couldn’t say goodbye to each other, so we kept on connecting and sharing awesome experiences while discovering Portugal together.

Nomad Cruise 7

Nomad Cruise 7

Barcelona, Spain – Recife, Brazil

On our most recent Transatlantic cruise we broke all previous records by having almost 500 participants on board with us. They literally arrived from all over the world – from 51 countries to be specific. What an awesome, diverse group of people it was!
We left the European winter behind on the 19th November to cruise across the Atlantic ocean all the way to Brazil. On the way, we visited Alicante, Tenerife and São Vicente, an island of the volcanic archipelago of Cape Verde. We learnt about history, tasted the local food and vine, enjoyed breath-taking views and crystal clear waters.

Our conference days got us being constantly inspired by all the special people delivering all the special events: amazing keynotes, talks, workshops, and even our very own talent show! We learned so much about others and about ourselves through speed networking, the night of failure, and during the deep connection workshop.

Our trip might have ended on the 1st of December when we arrived to Recife, but our journey definitely have not. We continued connecting, learning about each other, and having a great time together at the most beautiful spots in Brazil.

Nomad Cruise 6

Nomad Cruise 6

Malaga, Spain – Athens, Greece

Our 6th trip happened to be our very first journey across the Mediterranean Sea. And it happened to be epic!:) We were cruising from the Spanish beach town of Malaga to Athens, Greece. On our way, we stopped by at Menorca for an amazing hike across the island, we visited Malta and learned all about its interesting history, we hopped on bikes and quads to explore the Souda Bay area of Crete and we discovered the charming town of Nafplion, the first capital of the newly born Greek state.

On our days on board, we connected, collaborated , shared our skills and ideas, met like-minded people, broadened our horizons and learned from inspiring talks and workshops in all topics under the sun.  And since Nomad Cruise is just the beginning, we continued engaging in awesome conversations and sharing amazing experiences during our meet-ups in Athens, Santorini  and on other Greek Islands on the Aegean Sea.

Nomad Cruise V

Nomad Cruise V

Gran Canaria, Spain – Colon, Panama

On our 5th trip we were back on Monarch, sailing from the port of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria all the way to Colon in Panama. We broke all previous records with the amazing number of 260 participants on board. Such a big group also came with an extremely wide range of expertise, making it possible to dive into many topics from online marketing to cryptocurrencies, creative thinking and healthy habits.

During the 14 days on board we loved every inspiring talk in the morning, every cafe con leche at the Piano Bar, every minute spent in the whirlpool, every impromptu mastermind session at the 360 bar, every Caesar salad for dinner, every yoga exercise, every cup-song-jam-session at midnight and even getting up at 6.00 am for the sunrise. And we loved the island visits! Before reaching our final destination, we took bonding to the next level and discovered the beautiful volcanic island of St. Kitts and the stunning beaches of Curacao and Aruba together. Since then, many of us are still travelling and working together around Panama and Costa Rica. We told you – the cruise is just the beginning..

Nomad Cruise IV

Nomad Cruise IV

Cartagena, Colombia – Lisbon, Portugal

Our 4th edition of Nomad Cruise saw us set sail from Cartagena, Colombia with 133 nomads bound for Lisbon, Portugal. Over the 15 days aboard we delved into a broad array of topics from the emergence of voice interface to how monetize your social media to how to operate a social business. The conference topics were as diverse as the group of nomads on board – a total of 31 nationalities spent their time learning, teaching and collaborating all while enjoying all there is to enjoy on an all expenses paid cruise. On our days off we explored the islands of Antigua, St John’s and Madeira, taking in the sights, lounging on pristine beaches and hiking through epic natural landscapes. To date we still see updates and pictures online from cruisers who are still traveling and working together.

Nomad Cruise III

Nomad Cruise III

Gran Canaria, Spain – Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

On our third trip, the smaller Horizon took us from the port of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. On board, we had 155 Nomads and seven children. They came from 24 different countries and brought events about SEO, bitcoin, health, balance, productivity, web design and more to our conference. Will we downgraded on space, we upgraded the organization of our conference and could provid the highest-quality program so far.

Together we explored the volcanic land of Gran Canaria, the Caribbean islands of St. Martin, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados and eventually the Dominican Republic. After our arrival, over seventy of us celebrated Christmas and New Years in the small town of Cabarete, where many of our Nomads stayed for another month.

Nomad Cruise II

Nomad Cruise II

Cartagena, Colombia – Lisbon, Portugal

After the great success of our first trip, it was only a logical next step to organize a second one. We returned to Europe on a journey from Cartagena in Colombia to the beautiful Portuguese capital of Lisbon. With a group of 190 Nomads of 35 different nationalities, Nomad Cruise II was our largest group so far. The Monarch gave us space for a plethora of talks, networking, a two-day hackathon and hours of sunbathing. In thought-provoking talks in our very own conference room and during the excursion to St. Martin our participants bonded and enjoyed the newly made friendships over weeks of traveling Europe together afterward.

Nomad Cruise I

Nomad Cruise I

Gran Canaria, Spain – Salvador do Bahia, Brazil

In October 2015 we sailed with Nomad Cruise for the first time. 120 Nomads boarded the Sovereign, one of the largest ships of the Pullmantur fleet. We were nervous and excited and didn’t know, what to expect. Over the nine days on board, the dynamic of our group was overwhelming. With no stops on the itinerary, they self-organized a well-balanced program that got everybody engaged. Their incredible passion and will to share and connect, shaped this first and very rudimentary trip into a journey of a lifetime.

Many nomads reunited in Jericoacoa in Northern Brazil for Christmas and enjoyed the incredible experience of New Years Eve in Rio de Janeiro together. We are proud to see that many of those pioneer cruisers still meet up in nomad hotspot all over the world and to see how their collaborations blossomed into powerful companies.
