6 Things to Do Onboard to Have a Regret-Free Cruise

Setting sail on a cruise means immersing yourself in a world of floating luxury where every moment can turn into an unforgettable memory. But beware, there are certain experiences that, if overlooked, can turn into regrets once you return home. That's why we've compiled six absolutely essential moments to experience on board before disembarking:

Watching the sunset: Picture yourself wrapped in a light blanket, drinking your favorite cocktail on the highest deck as the sun is setting on the horizon. The vibrant colors reflect on the water, creating a spectacle of light and shadow. Ignoring this natural masterpiece is like closing your eyes to a Monet painting. It's a moment of pure magic, defining the very essence of a vacation at sea.
Washing your hands: Yes, exactly! It might seem like the most basic advice, but on a cruise, maintaining good hygiene is fundamental to enjoying the journey without unpleasant surprises. Ships and cruisers are a fascinating mix but also a breeding ground for germs.
Stargazing: On board, away from the “light pollution” of cities, the night sky reveals itself in all its glory. Dedicate an evening to stargazing—it's almost a spiritual experience. It's an opportunity to reflect, relax, or simply marvel at the infinity of the universe. Not taking advantage of this celestial spectacle would be a real shame.
Dining outdoors: Imagine a candlelit dinner, with the sound of waves as background music and a gentle breeze caressing your face. The dishes served on a cruise are the result of a fusion of haute cuisine and local traditions, and enjoying dishes outdoors elevates the experience to another level.
Trying new cuisines: Whether you're a seasoned gourmet or just a food enthusiast, cruise ships offer a culinary variety that represents a true global exploration. From fresh sushi to authentic Italian pizza, every meal can be an adventure. Don't stick to the usual dishes; dare to discover new flavors. After all, traveling is also about exploring through taste!
Watching the ship depart: There's nothing quite like the thrill of the moment when the ship pulls away from the dock. It's a palpable excitement, a mixture of anticipation and slight melancholy as the coastline slowly recedes. Stop, watch, and live this moment. It's the official signal that your adventure is beginning!
