Embarking on your first Nomad Cruise can feel a bit overwhelming, but this session is here to ensure your NC15 journey starts off on the right foot. In this interactive session, newcomers will get an insider's guide to what makes Nomad Cruise so special - not just during the voyage but as a year-round community.

We’ll kick things off with anonymous Q&A cards, allowing you to ask your burning questions without the pressure of being “called out.” Then, we’ll cover everything from navigating the ship’s app to finding the events and discussion groups that matter most to you. Along the way, you’ll get a chance to meet other first-time cruisers in a fun icebreaker game and get to know key staff members. Plus, Kayleigh will be your dedicated “newbie point person” throughout the cruise, offering check-ins like coffee meetups and happy hours to keep you connected and supported. Leave this session feeling confident, informed, and ready to dive into the NC experience!
