Cruise Line Offering Affordable 2 Year Cruise From Florida
Cruise line offering affordable 2 year cruise from Florida. This is a different opportunity and one to think about. It’s a chance to live on a cruise ship and travel the world. It’s a new idea from Victoria Cruise Line. It will travel to 214 ports in 115 countries on seven continents.
The ship is more than 750 feet long and about 100 feet wide. There will be 1,000 passengers on board. They have packages that last one year, two or three years.
What Is The Cost
It may sound pricey at first, but you need to consider what is all included in these prices. Rent paid monthly includes cooked meals, television, Wi-Fi, gym, pool, spa and access to doctors, nurses and a dentist on board. It also includes laundry three times a week, no cleaning, no making your bed, they even offer a turndown service everyday.
Sounds pretty nice.
For 3 years it will cost you $2,400 each month. For 2 years, the price goes up to $5,119 each month and a 12-month option is $5,759 a month. That is a very long time to be on a boat, so if you need take a break and go home, you will only be charged 30% of your rent if you have to leave the boat. Not too bad.
The cruise around the world sets sail December 1 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If you work remotely, this would be ideal. Also, you could rent out your home or apartment and help with the costs while you are living on the ship.

5 Passport-Free Getaways Where Travelers Can Explore
Most of the time, if you’re traveling outside of the U.S., you need a current passport to do it. But there are some places outside of the country where you can visit without a passport. And that’s good news for many Americans. A significant portion of Americans, roughly 55 percent, do not possess one.
Last year, the State Department reported that out of the 333,287,557 individuals residing in the United States, an estimated 55 percent, or a substantial portion, did not possess a passport. This figure, based on the total number of 151,814,305 valid U.S. passports in circulation, highlights the fact that a significant majority of Americans have yet to get one.
You don’t always need a passport to visit some awesome places. There are U.S. islands and territories, like the breathtaking U.S. Virgin Islands, where you can hop on a plane and explore without a passport. However, it’s important to note that the travel landscape can sometimes be confusing, as there are other U.S. territories, like Guam, where a passport is necessary for entry.
Do I need a passport for cruises?
When it comes to closed-loop cruises, which are voyages departing from the U.S. and returning to the same port, travelers have a bit of leeway when it comes to passport requirements. According to Ilisa Oman, a travel agent at One World Family Travel, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows passengers on these cruises to travel without providing proof of a passport. Instead, a state-issued driver’s license or identification card usually suffices.
Keep in mind that there are exceptions to this rule. It’s always best to check in with your cruise line for more information about your travels.
To make your trip planning a breeze, we’ve got your back with a list of cool destinations where you, as a U.S. citizen, can travel passport-free. Whether you don’t have one or simply prefer to explore without the hassle of carrying one, we’ve got you covered.
