Sailing Journal 🚢 | 6D5N aboard Gulangyu Cruise 🛳️

If I could hit replay on any week this year—it would be this one. Six days, five nights at sea. No meetings. No alarms. No pressure. Just ocean air, buffet lines, and sunset skies. Every morning, I woke up to endless blue: ☀️ Blue sky melting into blue sea 🌊 The sound of waves gently rocking the ship 🌬️ And sea breeze that never stopped—whispering to me: slow down, look around, fall in love with the world again. Most of the time was spent doing… absolutely nothing. Eat, nap, walk, snack, chat, then repeat. No itinerary to rush. No choices too hard—except maybe whether to dine on Deck 6 or Deck 12, or which dessert to go for after dinner (answer: both 🍰). Evenings were slow and golden. Watching the sun sink into the ocean felt like a ritual. Sometimes we stayed on the balcony in silence. Other nights, we sipped cocktails on deck with strangers who became new friends. I forgot about Wi-Fi. Forgot about time. But remembered what peace feels like. If you’ve been wondering whether a cruise is “your thing,” let this be your sign: go. Go drift for a while. Let the sea carry you somewhere softer. #cruiselife #gulangyucruise #oceandiaries #sunsetatsea #nowifinoproblem #postcardviews #lifeatsea #floatingescape #unplugandrecharge #wanderbywaves
