The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Oprah Winfrey is the world’s greatest boss. Why? Well, good old Oprah has decided to go “Freestyle Cruising” by chartering a Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) vessel for her entire staff and their families. Cool!

The all-expenses-paid Mediterranean cruise onboard the Norwegian Gem began Saturday in Barcelona. The 10-day ‘O-Gem cruise’ will stop in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Greece and Malta. According to a Chicago travel agency quoted in the Sun-Times the trip is valued around $5400 per person — ExpertCruiser thinks that’s a bit on the low side. This is the second time in four years that Oprah has gifted her staff with a cruise. The last time everyone cruised on luxury line Seabourn.
