Become A Shipboard Host

If you are male, gregarious, hospitable, and relatively good looking, you can be paid to travel on board a luxury cruise ship. That's right, not only will the cruise itself be entirely free, but you will be paid a salary in addition. In return, you simply must agree to act as companion to those ladies on board the cruise who find themselves without partners when it comes time for dinner and dancing. More and more women are taking cruises alone. But that doesn't mean they want to eat alone...or sit alone while everyone else is dancing the samba...or wander alone in each exotic port of call. The cruise line wants to ensure that these women have a good time (and that they return for a second or third cruise), so they arrange for debonair and polished older gentlemen to join the cruise and act as hosts.

Most of the men are retired military officers, executives, and professional men. In return for treating their female companions to a few rounds of drinks at the pool and engaging in lively conversation over dinner, they are given free round-trip transportation to the port of departure, a completely free cruise (including food and drink), and a sizeable salary. The two cruise lines that employ the greatest number of male shipboard companions are Cunard Lines, 555 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10017, and Royal Cruise Lines, One Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94111.

More low-cost and free travel ideas

Buy trip cancellation insurance if you think a health or personal problem will interfere with your travel schedule. Premiums starts at about $4 per $100 of coverage.

Cruise lines generally offer free passage to anyone who can recruit 10 to 15 paying passengers. You can also cruise free as an expert on a subject suitable for a lecture series. There is demand for ornithologists, historians, and experts on the culture of the country of a cruise ship's destination. Free cruises are also available to doctors and nurses willing to be on call 24 hours a day.

To stay for free in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, bring $3,000 cash with you. The hotel or casino will keep this money in their safe and, in return, give you a room free.
