Back to Back to Back

One sailing can be a vacation. The second makes you notice the systems. By the third, the ship has a drawer with your name on it, even if the drawer technically belongs to everybody. Back-to-back cruising reveals the difference between visiting a ship and learning its rhythm.

When one voyage becomes a way of life.

Inside the voyage

This book follows the practical comedy of staying aboard while itineraries turn over: packing, unpacking, laundry, dining, documents, crew relationships, changing ports, and the strange pleasure of seeing the same hallway become familiar. It also asks what happens when travel stops being an escape and becomes the place where ordinary life is built.

Back-cover text

A guide and memoir for anyone who has looked at the end of a cruise and thought, “Why get off?” Full of shipboard detail, honest tradeoffs, and the quiet realization that a long voyage is still a life with chores.
