A New Chapter in Cruising – With Your Help!



Hi, my name is Leon, I’m 16 years old – and I have a big dream:

I want to start my own cruise line.

Yes, you read that right – at 16. And that’s exactly why my perspective on cruises is different from the big corporations. I don’t just want to build ships – I want to create a new kind of experience at sea.


Because during the cruises I’ve taken myself, I’ve realized something:

There’s so much untapped potential – especially for young people.

I’ve made amazing friends and unforgettable memories – but I’ve also seen what’s missing.





What Makes My Idea Different?



I want to rethink the cruise experience – more modern, more personal, more meaningful.

Here are a few of the things that will make my ship truly special:



1. A Whole Area Just for Teens



Not just a teen room – but an entire section dedicated to young people, with a restaurant, alcohol-free bar, club, chill-out lounge, workshops and events.

A space where teens don’t just feel welcome – they feel at home.



2. Real Connections – for All Ages



There are places for teens to meet – but what about adults?

I want to create spaces that make it easy to connect with new people, in real life, not just through an app.



3. Support Beyond the Vacation



Maybe you fell in love. Maybe you made a deep connection and don’t know what to do next.

I want our cruise line to be there even after the trip ends – with advice, tips and community support.



4. Life Lessons You Don’t Learn at School



There’s so much we don’t learn in school – things like self-confidence, love, relationships, and planning your future.

Let’s offer workshops on board that truly prepare young people for life.



5. A Ship That Listens



No rigid schedules. No “that’s just how we do it.”

This ship will be designed to adapt to the guests’ wishes, with feedback that’s actually taken seriously.





Why I Need YOU



Of course, I know I can’t make this dream a reality on my own. But I also know:

Every big dream starts with one first step.


With your support, I can lay the foundation:

Build the concept, design the first plans, find the right partners – and one day launch a ship that truly changes lives.


Every contribution counts. And to thank you, you’ll get something truly special:



Your Name on Board!



Every supporter will receive a custom metal plaque engraved with their name, permanently placed in the stairwell of the first ship.

That means you’ll be a part of every journey – forever.





Let’s Make History Together



I’m ready to walk this path – with passion, fresh ideas, and a clear vision.

All I’m missing is you.


Help me reinvent cruising.

For teens. For adults. For everyone who loves the sea – and dares to dream differently.


Thank you for believing in me.


Yours, Leon
