Keep in mind that will not always be within the countrol of the company. Crew being allowed off of a vessel is dependent upon the Immigration authority of the port country and the nationality of the particular crew member, plus any visas that crew member might have. You first need to talk with them if they will let you off and then make sure you can legally do so, and look into the port of calls.

As a USC you could get reciprocal, visa free travel to the following countries: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/tem...html#countries

However the VWP is a grey area when you arrive as crew. It is up to the local Immigration authority to allow you too use a VWP entry, they can deny it.
