Ever since Tim Ferriss wrote “The 4-Hour Workweek”, hordes of people have been firing the office and hitting the road to join “the new rich”. Life design (actively curating the kind of lifestyle you want) has taken on increasing importance. Experiences too replaced things as the pinnacle of success and somewhere along the way, the digital nomad movement took off. The more people joined the nomadic work train, the more services cropped up to cater to them.

 

Specifically for those who fear that a life of location independence equates to loneliness, there are countless digital nomad retreats where one may collect stamps as well as friends. Here are the companies hosting digital nomad retreats and group work and travel “workation” programs in 2025.

 

*Please note that locations and dates for programs are subject to cancellation or change. Please contact the organizers directly to inquire about all locations and itineraries.

Nomad Cruise

 

Nomad Cruise is an invigorating conference at sea, typically with well over 200 nomads. Expect talks, skillshares, workshops, entertainment, and land tours. Tickets include accommodation and access to all onboard events. You’ll have so much fun taking in multiple destinations like Brazil, Italy, or Antarctica, and this is one of the very best communities to expand your nomadic network and be in one place with established professionals who can help you take your business to the next level.

 

The brilliant organizers of Nomad Cruise have built a great digital nomad community, as there are pre-unions and reunions before and after the main conference, and many cruisers carry on traveling together well after disembarkation.
