Life at sea often means long working hours followed by periods of downtime.
During extended voyages, especially on international routes, seafarers look for simple and accessible ways to relax and disconnect after their watch.

With mobile internet becoming more common onboard, many crew members now rely on their smartphones for entertainment during off-duty hours.

Popular ways seafarers relax onboard

1. Movies and TV series
Downloaded movies or streaming platforms remain one of the most popular choices to unwind after work.

2. Mobile games
Simple mobile games help pass time and require minimal attention — perfect after a long shift.

3. Reading and learning
Some seafarers use free time to read books, improve English skills or learn new professional knowledge.

4. Online entertainment and live games
In recent years, some seafarers have also explored online entertainment platforms, including live games and mobile casino-style games, as a form of leisure while off duty.

These platforms are usually optimized for mobile devices and allow short sessions without long commitments.
