EP28 - Libby Rome - Living full time on Cruise Ships
1h 1m | Sep 7, 2026What if retirement didn’t mean settling down… but setting sail?
In this episode of the Living Life Differently Podcast, I’m joined by Libby Rome, who has spent the past 16 years living a truly nomadic life alongside her husband.
Working around the world and living out of just two suitcases each, Libby has built a life that looks very different from the traditional idea of home, career and retirement.
And now? After recently retiring from corporate life, the couple have taken things one step further. For the past three years, they’ve been living full-time on cruise ships.
Now their home moves from one destination to another, and their life is shaped around travel, experiences and the freedom to choose how, and where they want to live.
In this fascinating conversation, we talk about what it’s really like to live with so few possessions, the freedom and challenges of a nomadic lifestyle, making big life decisions, stepping away from corporate life and creating a retirement that looks nothing like the conventional version.
Libby’s story is a brilliant reminder that there isn’t one right way to live your life, and that sometimes the life you really want is the one you have to be brave enough to create for yourself.
Could you live your life out of two suitcases? And what about making a cruise ship your permanent home?
