ABC Adventures-At Sea-An Overview of Ways to Spend Your Time During Sea Days

The Island Princess set sail from Los Angeles, California for a 111 day, around the world tour on Thursday January 19, 2023.  Alan and I would be completing over 50 days of the journey as we traveled from Los Angeles to Dubai..   More than half of our days days would be at sea so we decided to create an ABC list of ways to spend our time.

There is never a reason to be bored while at sea! Below you can find our list of things to do and places to explore.  Some are specific to the Island Princess but many are adaptable to any cruise ship. Highlighted items link to additional stories and further adventures of our time while on board.
