I love going on cruises, but not for the reasons you might think.
- I don’t gamble on cruises.
- I don’t drink alcohol on cruises.
- Some days I don’t even get off the ship.
I love going on cruises because it’s like a mobile productivity studio.
I read books, I write, I eat well, and I go to the gym. It’s great.
I always film a little tour of the cruise ship when I’m sailing. These videos tend to go semi-viral on YouTube, and I get the most amazing comments from people.
These are the most popular cruise videos I’ve made on YouTube.
Norwegian Viva
My family, my girlfriend, and I set sail on the Norwegian “NCL” Viva for a 9-day cruise last February 2025. Watch the full tour of the ship here.
Celebrity Apex
I went on this cruise with my parents in January 2023. This video is totally different from others on YouTube. I’ll show you the best restaurants plus a few great nooks. View this video in 4K here.
Norwegian Bliss
I filmed a bunch of my favorite spots on this NCL ship tour video. View this video in 4K here.
Celebrity Millennium
I’ve been on this ship 4 times now, which is wild. I think this is one of my very best cruise ship tour videos. I explored an inside stateroom, the gym and fitness area, the sauna, the buffet, the main dining room, plus a whole lot more. View this in 4K.
Cunard Queen Elizabeth
The oldest and yet sort of the fanciest ship, but mainly for an older generation of cruisers. This ship had the best library!
Other Cruise Videos
- Short: How I Order Food on a Cruise Ship
- Short: Celebrity Millennium Gym
- Vlog: Norwegian Bliss Balcony Room + Tour this was where it all began for me! My first cruise video. It’s an older style video of mine, with worse editing and not great on-screen narration- but I rode down a water slide so that’s pretty cool.
Conclusion
I love going on cruises and filming these videos. It’s been a while since I did one of these, so I’ll go on a cruise and film another one soon.
Do you have any suggestions or comments for how to make my videos better? Leave a comment on the YouTube video or email me to hello@nickgray.net.
