Sex Work 101

Can sex workers work on cruises?

Ready to sail the seven seas? Cruising is one of the most popular ways to see the world, and the industry is quickly growing with all ages.

Many sex workers like to work while travelling, as it introduces them to new experiences, and let’s face it, it’s always nice to make a few extra pounds while abroad. But is this possible on a cruise ship?

In this article, we’re exploring whether sex workers can work on cruises and what safety precautions you should be aware of.

Sex work while traveling

We’ve already covered sex work and escorting while travelling. Read the original article here to prepare for your next holiday.

However, cruising is different from being on land. Firstly, at some points of the trip, you won’t be able to leave the boat, and secondly, you’ll be in a different place every time you reach land.

Planning to meet clients might be difficult when you only have half a day in each location. So, you might want to focus on Only Fans content or webcamming rather than escorting. Or you might want to spend the whole cruise with one client.

It’s best to be clear on your goals before you set sail. We’ll break down the different types of sex work and their compatibility with cruising further on in the article.

Your next consideration should be whether you book an adult-only cruise or a normal one.

Adults-only cruises tend to be popular with swingers and nudists, especially if you book with a brand that has a cheeky reputation. These are better if you want to travel with open-minded individuals.

Normal cruises won’t have such a party-focused atmosphere, so you may not meet any swingers or sex-positive travellers.

Different types of sex work and cruising

Webcamming while on your cruise is very different from escorting on a cruise. Here’s a quick look at each type of sex work and how you can make it work while on the ship.

Escorting on cruises

What do you think of when we say escorting on cruises? Likely a glamorous trip with a wealthy client. Or the freedom to get to know adventurous people every night while getting paid for the pleasure.

However, it can be difficult to find clients on the ship. Unlike on land, clients don’t tend to book cruises looking for escorts.

Also, as we mentioned, you’re rarely in port long enough to find clients. Even if you’re visiting a city where a previous client lives, it can be hard to make evening plans, as the boat often leaves at a fixed time in the late afternoon.

Most escorts work on cruises by taking a full holiday with a client.

Travelling with a client isn’t recommended unless they’re long-term clients who have passed your screening tests. Even then, you should very carefully consider how safe and trustworthy your client is.

You must bring your passport while cruising, which can compromise your personal information. The best way to protect yourself is to ask the client to send the money for the cruise and book the package yourself, as this way, they won’t see your personal information. However, this might be more hassle than it’s worth.

It ultimately comes down to your boundaries. If you’ve travelled with the client before and know how to keep yourself safe, it could be an excellent experience.

Whereas, if it’s your first time and the client seems flakey or gives you a bad gut feeling, it’s best to skip the holiday!

Creating sex work content while cruising

If you’re a sex worker with OnlyFans (or any platform where you create your own adult content), you can use the cruise to your advantage.

Not only does a cruise provide unforgettable experiences, but it can serve as a new backdrop for your fans.

We’re not talking about filming in public spaces, though! You should use your cabin to create explicit content. Bonus points if you have a balcony.

Fans often enjoy watching content filmed on cruises, as it gives them an insight into your vacation time. The excitement comes from seeing authentic-feeling intimate moments.

For example, relaxing after a day of sightseeing or a peep at the underwear you’ll be wearing in your holiday snaps.

Remember to bring cute lingerie, sex toys, and your camera to ensure the content is high-quality.

Webcamming on a cruise

Similarly, you can create live webcam content while cruising. This activity should be kept in your private room so you don’t disturb unassuming guests!

You’ll need Wi-Fi to go live on a cruise. You can purchase this while onboard or when selecting your package.

Advertise that you’ll be on holiday before you embark, as this may entice more viewers to join you on the adventurous stream.

You should also consider time zones. If your cruise takes you to distant locations, you may find yourself streaming at different times than you typically do. Work out what time you’ll roughly be online to keep your fan base in the loop.

How to stay safe while working on a cruise

Staying safe is critical regardless of what type of sex work you specialise in. Here are some general tips to help you make the most out of the cruise:

  • Tell someone you trust your location – Keeping friends and family in the loop of your location is critical. Tell them when you’re sailing, when you’re on the boat, and give them the details of your trip.
  • Stay under the radar – In an ideal world, sex workers wouldn’t have to keep their job on the down-low. However, you never know who else will be on the cruise, so it’s best to keep your business plans quiet while on board.
  • Protect your passport – Always keep your passport and personal documents in a safe place. This could be on your person or in the cabin safe.

The takeaway

Cocktails on the top deck always taste better when you know you’re earning money while you travel!

Hopefully, this blog has helped you decide whether sex work on a cruise is suitable for your business plan. Safety should always be your top priority. So, if something feels off or doesn’t sit right with you – even if you don’t know why – it’s better to pause the plans.
