A family spends $70,000 on a five-month cruise, homeschooling their kids while exploring 21 countries and creating unforgettable memories.
They’re visiting 52 ports in 21 countries, including South Africa and Madagascar, while homeschooling their kids. The cruise kicked off from Marseilles, France, and they’ve already explored Spain, Morocco, and Cape Verde. Right now, they’re soaking up the sun in Brazil.
Mark and Tiffany have splurged on two bedrooms for the trip, which covers food, drinks, and activities. They even set aside $10,000 for extra fun. Mark says they’re in the “honeymoon period” of the cruise and are already eyeing another trip in 2026.
Mark, a real estate investor, loves the freedom of not having to clean or cook. He says, “We have a roof over our head and we’re traveling to all these incredible destinations.” Tiffany echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that they’re not just on vacation—they’ve made the cruise their home.
They’re focusing on “interest-based learning” for their daughters, allowing them to explore what they love. The kids are enjoying the onboard kids club, making friends and having a blast.
While they’re away, a property manager is taking care of their real estate investments. Tiffany is all about finding balance in life, saying, “Togetherness is our main goal on the cruise.” They’re playing games, reading, and spending quality time together, making memories that will last a lifetime.
