“I’ve been a full-time digital nomad for three years now, and while I know
that’s a long time already, going on the Nomad Cruise made me believe that
this lifestyle is actually more sustainable than I ever thought.

Firstly, the community that you get along with the cruise is well-curated and lasting, which I think is because it naturally attracts people who love to learn from others, to share what they know, and believe you can never have enough friends. The cruise itself can be an intense trip, as you spend every day meeting interesting people, attending inspiring talks and practical workshops, and having non-stop new experiences both on and off-board.

In the end, you walk away with more knowledge, skills, inspiration, personal insight, and connections than you’d believe. I really can’t recommend it enough for current digital nomads, as well as wannabe nomads, or just anyone looking to get inspired.”

“On a surface level, the Nomad Cruise was a thrilling experience – 13 days spent at sea taking in the Atlantic Ocean and four Caribbean Islands was an unforgettable journey I’ll savor for many years.

But I think the real benefit for me was something deeper – the close friendships and bonds that will surely last a lifetime, the workshops I attended and the personal growth I ultimately underwent as a result of the experience.

I’d like to thank the entire Nomad Cruise Team for all their tireless work in making this spectacular event happen; their attention to detail, ability to make everyone comfortable and welcome coupled with their excellent organizational skills all came together to make my 13 days at sea a truly unforgettable experience.”

Pearl Design is a Hong-Kong based “direct response” web design company, working with copywriters, marketers, entrepreneurs and others who believe that a website must earn its keep and produce results, as opposed to merely produce vanity metrics like shares, impressions, and likes.

“As a busy business owner of a distributed team, this was the perfect trip to bring everyone together and bond on a deeper level. The experiences my team shared were priceless, personal, and life-changing. This trip was well organized from the time before leaving until the time we returned home. Any questions we had beforehand were answered in the form of a very detailed email. Their level of execution, during the two weeks, made it possible for our team to focus on engaging and enjoying my time on and off.

The Nomad Cruise organizers were a perfect mix of personality, fun, informative, entertaining, attentive and helpful. They created an environment that fostered organic and meaningful friendships.

Whether you’re looking for self-enrichment, networking, business and skill development, travel, goal-establishing, or friendship; Nomad Cruise will exceed your expectations. On our flight home from our first Nomad Cruise, we started planning our next Nomad Cruise. We’re hooked!”

“When a friend of mine first suggested the Nomad Cruise to me, I thought it sounded awesome and a great way to get away and meet new people while crossing off a bucket list item… crossing the Atlantic Ocean by boat! When I arrived to board, I only knew a few people and not really well.

Two weeks later, on the other side of the Ocean, I came away with new friends from all over the world and real, actionable tactics and tools I could immediately implement in my business. From advice taken from workshops I attended, the two workshops I ran, and simply talking shop with my shipmates, we were able to see measurable increases in specific areas of our business.

One example was implementing tactics which have helped our Instagram followers grow from 50 to over 7,500, average likes from about 3 to 150 per post, and email subscriptions from our Instagram landing page go from 0 to hundreds, all within six months. We were also able to further refine our sales funnels, especially through Facebook, with advice from fellow entrepreneurs.”

“The thought of being offline while cruising across the Atlantic was at first, one that had me in heart palpitations. But that feeling quickly dissipated as we set sail. Being offline enabled me to meet and connect with people from so many different backgrounds with varied skill sets, and allowed me to really value my time more generally.

I was privileged to host a talk and workshop to an audience who were hungry to learn and keen to participate – which was a real thrill to be a part of. I gained valuable insights from experts in so many different fields and made real connections with people.

Lina, Johannes, and the team got the balance of work and play just right. I thank them for the opportunity to join them on board, and I leave Nomad Cruise filled with new ideas, new wonderful friendships, and lasting memories.”
