After writing two imaginary cruise trips, I must say that this is the easiest way of writing.
While I am writing the imaginary cruise trip, I feel literally as if I were on a cruise ship. I get myself excited with anticipation before I start writing.
By the end of the trip, I get tired with the journey, and looking forward to home.
How to write an imaginary cruise trip easily?
1. Open to the cruise liner website
There are many cruise operators, such as Princess Cruise, Royal Caribbean, Costa Cruise and so on. I find that Royal Caribbean cruise information is more compact, and make it easier for writing.
2. Select a cruise
I use the departing port, and duration to select the cruise I want.
For an imaginary cruise trip, I do not want the short duration trip. There is usually just one port of visit, and that is not enough to cook up a story.
6 to 9 days cruise with at least 4 ports is ideal for writing.
3. Learn more about the cruise
You can click on the “Learn More” button to see the detailed itinerary. It will open up to show 5 sub-headings “Where you’ll go”, “Accommodations”, “About the Ship”, “Shore Excursions” and “Guest Reviews”.
4. Shore excursions
The description in the shore excursions is very detailed. For each port that you visit, there are a number of short or long excursions.
These are the day trip organized by the cruise ship.
I just use the Shore Excursions to decide on the activity for each port.
I tend to go for nature rather than sightseeing in the city. I make the decision as if I literally on the cruise.
5. Organizing the writing
I use the cruise itinerary as the guide to write. In this case, I do not have to worry about the layout of the completed blog post.
There is no need to do additional research too.
As it is just an imaginary cruise, I do not have to worry about the weather or the price.
My first article was an imaginary 67 days cruise. It took me quite a while to finish since I stupidly decided to write about such a long trip. One day, I will go on such a trip.
My second article was a 13 days Baltic Cruise. This is another one on my bucket list.

Thats good
wow, you sure are good at imaginary article. I wish I have that kind of spirit to go online and imagine about it.
Honestly, you have not been to a cruise trip before?
@peachpurple I have been to a cruise before, but the destinations are in Asia.
I have never tried a cruise in faraway places.
That is why I write about the trip that I am keen to go.
Wow! You are quite imaginative! What a fun way to write and travel to far-off places through your writing!
@swalia It helps that all the information are there, just in different tabs.
It makes things much easier for the imagination.
After all, the cruise is real enough, the places of interest are real enough. I just have to decide what to do.
This is a fabulous idea for a post @scheng1! I think it may just inspire some of those who haven't tackled this challenge yet. I know it's got me thinking about where I would like my cruise to take place!
@Ruby3881 I like the fact that everything you need to write a great post is within reach. I hate to write those articles that require hours and hours of research.
I think a grand holiday is something that everyone dreams about, but not many people can get the resources to fund it.
