What Is The Cruise lifestyle?

Welcome to The Cruise Lifestyle

The Cruise Lifestyle presented by Carooze is an entertainment / lifestyle show broadcast weekly on YouTube. The programme is focused around cruise lines, ships, holidays, destinations and products which encompass the “cruise lifestyle” theme.

Educate • Inform • Entertain

Hosted by your “Carooze Director” Matt, the show features a range of interviews, news & industry updates, destination spotlights, ship reviews, product information & lifestyle features, as well as presenting archived cruise video content, cruise hints & tips, along with other miscellaneous segments themed around cruise.

All content on the show is presented in a light, entertaining “lifestyle” tv format.

Show Format

Each episode of The Cruise Lifestyle is presented as a 20-30 minute YouTube show, with new episodes uploaded weekly via the Carooze YouTube Channel, and shared onto “The Cruise Lifestyle” website (launched July 2021). The Cruise Lifestyle website features a selection of featured clips from the show, as well a range of clips and resources sourced from our industry partners and through publicly available resources such as YouTube.

The show is promoted through the “Carooze” Facebook Page (6000+ Fans), “Matt’s Ocean Escape Cruising” Facebook Page (85,000+ Fans), and the The Cruise Lifestyle Community Facebook group (700+ members).

The show is initially offering a combined potential reach of over 90,000 fans.

Produced with the end viewer in mind, each show aims to present informative, entertaining and light hearted content that keeps the viewer engaged and leaves them educated, informed, entertained and enthusiastic about the cruise lifestyle.

Episodes are pre-recorded, edited and subsequently uploaded on a weekly basis. Each show features a unique mix of interviews, news, destination features, ship overviews, lifestyle products, cruising hints and tips, as well as a look through past memories through archival footage and visual cruise themed memorabilia.

The Cruise Lifestyle is always looking for content to present to our audience. Be it through interviews with industry identities, highlighting a particular itinerary or product, reviewing a ship, featuring a destination, discussing the latest news and innovations, or simply exploring a hidden gem from the past, we are always on the lookout for more!
