Kind of like the movie--The Legend of 1900.

Back at the start of retirement, or just before, I looked at volunteering on the Peace Boat (english teaching). ~100 days for the round-the-world cruise. After some initial excitement/interest, I then stumbled across some youtubes of the crew accommodations...For nearly two decades, Jeff Farschman, 72, has spent his golden years like many other adventurous retirees — enjoying leisure cruises to exotic ports of call.
But unlike many of his fellow cruise passengers, Farschman basically lives at sea. He spends months traveling the world’s oceans and waterways — half of the year, if not more. Although he still keeps a physical home near where he grew up in Delaware, Farschman is now part of a growing cohort of older folks who are literally “retiring” on cruise ships.
“Pandemic aside, I’ve been cruising for seven to eight months a year,” Farschman said. “I am a world traveler and explorer type and cruising has literally allowed me to see the entire planet.”
