Ryan Gutridge, an IT professional, has found a surprisingly economical way to live – spending about 300 days each year on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. He began this lifestyle in 2021 after realizing he could work remotely from the ships. He initially tested the idea with short cruises and found that it worked well for his work and connectivity needs. Gutridge's research showed that the cost of living on the cruise for 300 nights is nearly the same as his previous apartment and utility expenses.

The cruise life offers perks like free WiFi and drinks, which further contribute to the cost savings. Gutridge manages his finances with a spreadsheet and an annual budget of approximately $30,000 for the base fare. Overall, he has found this way of living to be socially rewarding and financially sensible, proving that it's possible to turn cruise ships into affordable living spaces for remote workers.
