Every cabin of NC18 is taken. Join the waitlist and we tell you first when one opens up. Our next cruises are on Next trips.
We are looking for creative, productive and passionate people at different stages of their digital nomadism and remote working. Nomad Cruise is for beginners as well as for pros, because we all have different talents and can all learn from each other.
We always have a mixed group in age, gender, nationality, experience, skills and interests — and a shared open-mindedness and choice of the nomadic, remote-working lifestyle. While many participants are between 25 and 50, we warmly welcome nomads of all ages.
Absolutely — most people do. You'll find it easy to connect with others who are in the same boat (pun intended).
Yes. Shared cabins have two separate beds: you save on your ticket and have a friend from the very first day. Suggest who you'd like to share with, or we match you with another participant of the same gender.
You are welcome to bring your partner and share your cabin — with a double bed or two separate beds. You each book a shared cabin and name each other in the checkout.
Families can share a cabin with up to 4 people. Infants must be at least 24 months old on the day of embarkation for MSC voyages longer than 10 nights. Email info@nomadcruise.com to book for your family.
Many participants have used it to reduce their taxes. How much you can deduct depends on your country and your tax advisor.
The cruise line has a few rules we follow:
- Women cannot have begun their 24th week of pregnancy at any time before or during the cruise. If you are pregnant, you need a physician's letter with the expected due date, your fitness to travel and that the pregnancy is not high risk.
- Solo travellers must be at least 18 years old.
You get access to our Cruise Wiki with everything you need to plan your trip. About 45 days before departure we invite you to our online community, so you can meet other participants and plan together.
Yes — Starlink, included in your ticket (MSC's Browse & Stream package for one device). It's fast for the middle of the ocean: enough for social media, messages and work. Plan video calls and large uploads for after the cruise.
Water, milk, coffee and tea at the buffet. The ship's water is drinkable — bring a refillable bottle. Drinks packages can be added.
If you have the time, come a week early: we organise get-togethers to discover Barcelona and meet other participants before we sail. At the least, arrive one or two days ahead and book a hotel for a night — the trip wiki has tips on where to stay.
Disembarkation can take a while, so don't book an early flight. We encourage you to stay in the region for at least two weeks: it's the best time to deepen the connections you made on board — and our reunions after the cruise are always a lot of fun.
Speaking on stage is one of the best ways to share your expertise with our community. As a skill-sharing conference we don't pay for talks or workshops — they are voluntary contributions. All about giving a talk on board: Speak at Nomad Cruise.
Know someone who'd love this?
Most people join with a friend they met at sea — or bring one along.
