What this site is, what it is not, and where its data comes from. Plain English, because a label is only useful if it is read.
This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any cruise line. Line and ship names appear here only to say whose ship goes where; they are the trademarks of their owners.
Nothing here can be booked, held or bought, and we take no payment and no bookings. When you have chosen a voyage, book it with the cruise line or a travel agent.
Ports are swapped, missed or re-ordered for weather, port congestion and operational reasons, sometimes on the day. Treat what you see as the plan as published, not a promise, and confirm details with the line before you rely on them.
Our data gives dates only, so no arrival or departure time on this site is real. The animation compresses a two-week voyage into about two minutes; any hour it appears to show is illustrative motion, not a schedule.
Routes are drawn as direct lines between ports. They ignore land, traffic separation, canals and everything else a real passage plan contains, and the ship's position between ports is interpolated. Never use this site for navigation.
We do not show prices. Where a price is held in our data it is a coarse band rather than a figure, recorded on the day it was collected, and cruise fares move faster than that — so it would be stale before you read it.
Sailings come from a commercial cruise data feed and are only as good as that source. Where a voyage cannot be placed on a map honestly we leave it out rather than guess, but errors will still get through.
The port write-ups are general interest — geography, history, what the approach looks like from the water. They are not travel advice and carry nothing that goes stale, so check opening times, closures, safety and entry requirements elsewhere.
Any excursions shown were entered by the person whose trip is loaded. They are not offered, sold, checked or endorsed by us or by any cruise line.
Photographs are pulled live from Wikimedia Commons under their own free licences, with the photographer and licence shown beneath each one. Map imagery is © Mapbox, © OpenStreetMap contributors and Maxar.
Ports and countries are named as our map and data providers name them. That is a practical choice, not a political one, and implies no position on any territorial dispute.
We collect no personal data. There are no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics and no advertising or tracking cookies on this site. Loading a map does send ordinary web requests to Mapbox, our map provider, which are subject to their privacy policy.
