After years of "revenge travel" and jam-packed holidays, a new mindset is taking hold and reshaping how people think about vacation: the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO). Unlike tightly packed trips driven by the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), where travelers raced to check off bucket-list destinations and capture every moment for social media, JOMO embraces a slower, more intentional approach.
FOMO fuels a culture of "doing it all" and often leaves travelers needing a vacation from their vacation. On the contrary, JOMO celebrates the art of doing less, more meaningfully.
This shift is especially pronounced among travelers fatigued by hustle culture and hyper-connectivity. For the majority, JOMO-style travel is a form of self-care offering the chance to unplug and enjoy life at a slower pace, escape the pressure to "see and do everything" take time for themselves, embrace spontaneity over fixed plans and experience nature.
This is the Norwegian Cruise Line approach to JOMO. It’s your front-row pass to extraordinary destinations, effortless exploration, and the freedom to travel your way. More than half of travelers (54%) agree that cruises offer the ideal environment for a JOMO-style vacation, making them a standout choice alongside spa retreats, beach escapes, and nature-based getaways.
Imagine sun-drenched mornings at sea, the gentle rhythm of the waves beneath you, and a new port waiting just beyond the horizon. With Norwegian Cruise Line, every journey blends discovery and comfort seamlessly, offering immersive destinations by day and world-class experiences by night.
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or planning your first voyage, Norwegian Cruise Line invites you to explore deeper, linger longer, and travel without limits.
