When you think of your perfect vacation, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, they picture kicking back and relaxing on a massive ship while it sails across the vast oceans.

Taking to TikTok, user @chasingthedream.hj posted a viral video that showed what the ocean looks like after the sun has set.
However, when you move away from the main part of the ship and towards the railings overlooking the sea, that’s when the real nightmare begins.
Have a look at the full video below:This has left a lot of people with a newfound fear of cruises.
A third commented: “Not only dark but whats in the dark ocean following the cruise ship…”
This person described it as a “deep black void of nothing,” adding: “The way I would grip the handrails looking at the ocean at night. It actually was terrifying…”
And this user even recalled one of their own memories, writing: “l used to work on cruise ship, that sight of absolute darkness scared me so much, I run inside in panic, never go outside and look at the ocean at night time.”
“After what I saw, I couldn’t sleep all night,” she wrote. “This is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever laid eyes on,” she added on the video’s overlay text.
However, others seemingly disagreed, offering up a new perspective about it all.
And this user also stated: “I work at sea… I find the darkness at night while at sea to be refreshing. When you come from somewhere saturated with light pollution, actually seeing the Milky Way is a great thing to behold.”
