If you look up the definition of the word habitual, you’ll see that it means to do something constantly or regularly as a habit. In knowing that, have you ever heard of a habitual cruiser? Not too many have. People who love going on cruises are simply called “people who love going on cruises,” but the habitual cruiser is just quicker to say it.

As a habitual cruiser, that means that you’re rarely home because you’re always on a cruise ship somewhere. And because you’re always on a cruise ship somewhere, that also means that you don’t have time to work a full-time job,  because again, you’re always on a cruise ship somewhere! 

But just because you’re constantly on a cruise ship, that doesn’t mean that you can’t generate income while having the time of your life! Did you know those habitual cruisers are some of the wealthiest and most successful people you’ll ever meet? And it’s not because they’re rich or anything like that… 

Do you know why habitual cruisers are able to live a life of travel on a cruise ship?

It’s because they’re resourceful with their finances. When most people go on cruises, all they do is spend money. They’ve worked hard to save their money just so that they could go on a cruise and spend their money with no worries in the world. With habitual cruisers, they go on cruises and make money! All while having a great time with access to abundant buffets.

If the idea of island hopping from a cruise ship to cruise ship sounds like a lifestyle you can see yourself living, then living as a habitual cruiser might be just the adventure you need. In maintaining this lifestyle, it’s important to clearly understand that you’re not just going to be “living the life” on the cruise ship all the time… remember, habitual cruisers go on cruises and make money to fund their next cruise.

So if you’re serious about adopting this lifestyle, take a look at some of the different ways to generate income while you’re living your life to the fullest as a habitual cruiser.

Ways to Make Money While Habitually Cruising

Rent Your Home Out

While you’re out cruising the seven seas, that means your house is laying empty. While you’re out habitually cruising, that’s the perfect opportunity for you to rent your home out. This will not only generate a substantial amount of income for you but it will also keep your home safe. According to Arizona State University, houses that are vacant for extended periods of time are major targets for home burglaries. So the sooner you can get some tenants in your home, the safer your home will be.

Now, in finding tenants, you don’t want to just rent your home to anybody just to quickly get your home occupied. You actually should start looking for tenants to rent your home to months before you actually leave for your cruising adventures. You also want to make sure they’re going to be long-term renters and can afford your rental asking price.

You may not necessarily want to rent your home out to complete strangers but by taking your time to find the right renters, your home will not only be safeguarded but you’ll also have steady income coming in to fund your future cruises.

Start an Online Business 

With an online business, you’re able to make money wherever you are in the world. Whether you choose to sell clothes, travel accessories, or pet apparel, you have the freedom to sell whatever you want because it’s your store. Your road to entrepreneurial success simply starts with finding the right website builder.

Now, there are tons of website builders to choose from but lots of habitual cruisers tend to go with the website builder on Shopify’s site because it’s easy to use and hassle-free. Plus, as habitual cruisers, the last thing you need is to be spending more time trying to figure out how to build a website when you could be doing the Macarena with the other cruise-goers!

Become a Cruise Ship Travel Agent

As a habitual cruiser, what better way to generate income than to become a cruise ship travel agent. You have all the experience in the world on cruise ships, why not share your travel knowledge with others to help them plan their next great vacation?

You can assist your clients with everything from what to pack and the best destinations for honeymoons to the best luxury expedition cruises and affordable excursion packages. This is also a service you can actually add to your online store. All they would need to do is fill out a contact information form and you can start booking clients! 

Just think about it… you can not only recommend certain cruises to clients but you can also provide pictures and talk about it on your blog! Yes, Shopify has a blogging platform as well, but that’s just an added source of income-you can benefit from on with your online store!

Try Your Luck at The Slots and Tables!

Okay, so gambling may not be the best way to earn income as a habitual cruiser, but sometimes lady luck is on your side and will reward you nicely for playing with her! The reality is that you can’t be a habitual cruiser that’s all about work and no play… 

With gambling, you have to allow yourself a set amount of money that won’t break the bank if you lose it all. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t, but the main point is that you have fun doing it! Winning just sweetens the deal!

Which is More Appealing to You?

There are, of course, more ways to earn income while you’re traveling the world. Things like, working remotely for a company and performing various types of freelance work, are all different ways to generate income as a habitual cruiser, you just have to find the one or ones that work best for you.
