Time spent at sea.

[Bob]

Hi all,
Was just wondering how long would one be out at sea, without visiting home etc. for example on a cruise ship.
Just a rough time frame would be nice. I'm assuming it'd be months right?

Many thanks!

This depends on ship type and route;

Since you ask specifically about cruise ships, the average as a qualified officer will be 3-4 months... as a cadet anything between 3 - 6 months - although normally 4ish.

Ah I see thanks for your help! seems a simple question but just wanted to make sure.

But you'll be surrounded by pretty women, beautiful places and mad yanks. So you'll be fine and won't get homesick, unless your a beautician, they always get homesick.
